2024 Recruiting Thread

[Cincydawg]

A good P5 team usually plays 2-5 games that are competitive in a year, the rest are against clearly inferior opponents (who can upset you).  I'm talking about a #3 ranked team who would play #20, #12, and #4 in a season, then the CG against say #8.  They usually get "up", motivated, for these games.  Then you get into the playoffs and don't get up or take seriously ANY opponent?

Maybe so.

very common for SEC teams in bowl games that are meaningless

Sure, with opt outs etc., but we're talking a playoff game here.  UGA has a weak slate this year after losing the OU game, they really only have one contested game (apparently) before playoffs.

I understand the kids at Michigan overlooking TCU

after rolling through the Big Ten and handling the Buckeyes, they matchup with a much smaller TCU that didn't even win the Big 12.

I'd guess many of the players didn't know what TCU stood for or where they were located

A UGA coach mentioned pregame to an announcer that "Big people move small people" with an air of confidence, apparently.  We've all see our teams have a truly bad outing.  You hope it's against a Missouri or Kent State.  If it's against a half decent team, you either lose of nearly lose.

UGA could easily have lost two games last year, Mizzou and Ohio State.  I don't think they took Mizzou lightly, they just misfired on offense a LOT.

Michigan could have easily lost to Illinois

until TCU, which they did lose to, easily

UGA just jumped to #2 in the class rankings over....Ohio State....the school that Raiola was originally committed to. 

Big time get for Kirby Smart.

About time Georgia got a break over Nebraska

Dylan Raiola commitment summons reaction from Ohio State five-star WR, others (247sports.com)

I think "folks" are getting ahead of their skis a bit here.  But it's the nature of the game.

Georgia is the king sh!t in CFB right now, no doubts about that. 

Having said that...if I am a WR there is no way in hell I'm going to Georgia over Ohio State. Marv is about to be a top 5 pick and Emeka Ebugka could probably play himself into a 1st rd pick with a big season in '23. The insane run of WRs they've been on...they're WR-U right now.

[Cincydawg]

I'd lean to Ohio State also unless they are so stacked are WR I might not get much PT.  A lot of factors are now at play.  I don't see UGA changing much from the Moncken approach to offensive balance, and they could end up blowing a lot of opponents out without passing much at all with their schedule.

Are we pretending UGA hasn't recruited numerous 5* QBs under Smart?
The real question is where he'll be transferring to.
