This isn't the first time he's done it. SMR will come over to your house, talk to your mom, tell you that you're the best recruit ever, that this is the best class ever, and that you'll start every game and win 4 MNC's because you're so much better than anyone else in the history of the program. He'll retire your number and you'll be a #1 draft pick because you excelled in the most difficult conference in football. That's the crap he spoonfeeds kids and they eat it up because they think that they're "special". Then next season he's telling some freshman the exact same thing about your position and you're left out in the cold after he oversigns.
I know people say "That's not true. If he did that recruits would figure it out." But look at how Alabama oversigns ever season and recruits still can't quite figure that out. It's because they think they're "special" and honestly believe that they're the best player in the history of college football.
So now Richt has a team of prima donnas that break the law, win the Fulmer Cup, and have players with facebook sites full of phone camera mirror shots of flipping the bird.
