Idk. The whole chicken and egg situation with recruiting is interesting to me. Did Eason become a 5 star because UGAg recruited him or did they recruit him because the recruiting services said he's a 5 star? If the latter, and the recruiting services don't even know enough to derate a prospect that played on an all-star team in a weak state, then shouldn't the college recruiters be smart enough to ignore their recommendations?

Bottom line, it's a coin flip at most skill positions so recruiting rankings mean squat.

Remember two NSDs ago? georgia lost a recruit at the last minute and picked up a surprise unknown player. That unknown player went from 2* to 3* within an hour of the announcement.

Recruiting services, like the rest of us, make a lot of assumptions. They saw a guy who had good height and elite arm strength on a team that won a ton of games. His play looks great on tape in high school, two plus two equals four. Not a fool proof method. The scouting services go by measurables more than anything else, for instance Kallon got four stars on scout, even though it was well known that he was very green to the game. Any school that isn't doing their own talent evaluation deserves to die by the recruiting services, to be sure.

As for why UGA was recruiting him, Richt probably saw his height and arm strength and knew he could make the kid into a pro sooner or later. Brownie points on his recruiting ranking, since Richt was in the process of trying to save his job from the nutlicking mob. I wouldn't bet against Richt on what he could have done with Eason, but there isn't a QB coach of his caliber on UGA's staff right now. Eason's throwing mechanics are still weird, and he's still absolute garbage reading and targeting receivers on the move. That didn't seem to improve over an entire season of play, and it won't just happen on its own.

god ööööING damn it for christ's ööööing sake I hope at some point today you go to the restroom, slip on some piss, fall and literally crack your head open on a toilet and nobody else comes in for hours and hours so you just lie there slowly dying of blood loss and the fact that your brain is exposed to open air in a filthy bathroom but right before you succumb, someone stumbles in and after they violate your motionless body, you gasp for air, revealing you aren't dead, and they get you to the hospital in time to live many years in a vegetative state, the only thing your öööö-sprinkled brain capable of perceiving being constant agony and the vaguest notion of time slowly crawling by as you spend the rest of your nightmare life alone in a cold, sterile hospital room.

öööö you

Absolutely and to your point, I'm currently reading the book "Meat Market", which addresses then Mississippi Coach Ed Orgeron's recruiting travails and one of the most insightful points is how a player would pick up "stars" based primarily on where he went for an official visit and that the "star ratings" often had no substantive relevance at all, it's a really interesting book, the full name is "Meat Market: Inside the Smash-Mouth World of College Football " and it's well worth reading....

Is there something we need to know about your past?
 
I think Eason could end up being ok/fringe top tier sec qb by the time he's a senior, but the mutts thinking he was going to lead them to a NC last year, this year, etc is probably going to end it before he gets that far. They just think that they are one piece away every year and then when it doesn't pan out that one player becomes their scapegoat. Last year by the end of the season he was garbage and they were on to Fromm. They also continue to blame another scapegoat (Richt) for "leaving the cupboard bare" and the 4 and 5 star oline sucks. The truth is that they made a mistake in firing MR and got a guy with no business being a HC somewhere like georgia. MR was the offensive coordinator st FSU and everyone knew he was the real coach because Bowden has been too old for it wayyy before he retired. MR leaves, FSU goes in the toilet until Jimbo comes along. At Alabama, Kirby was DC in title only, everyone knows Saban runs the defense. Just crazy they all wanted this and now they are back to the Donnan years level

Pretty good look.
 
Statistically speaking, UGA is consistently one of the most overrated teams in the country, both in their preseason vs final ranking and in the win% vs recruiting rankings. They'll continue to be overranked for the forseeable future, so get used to it.

This is because their fans are gullible enough to make it profitable. Recruiting services sell subscriptions, bottom line. As long as they keep thinking *this* is the class that'll take them to the top, Scout and Rivals will keep feeding them bull**** for a monthly fee.
