Buy or Sell: UGA will catch Bama in the coming years

[RocketDawg]

I think Bama will probably degrade when Saban leaves, and consequently drop to more somewhat resemble the rank and file SEC member, but I don't think anybody, Georgia included, will ever get to where Bama is now and has been for the past several years.

I'm not sure Alabama's domination is because Saban and staff are such great coaches, but they are certainly outstanding recruiters. One way of looking at it ... could they dominate under Saban with the players we always seem to get? I don't think they could.

[TUSK]

Buy. Georgia's program has more potential than Alabama's, plus Saban is only getting older.

I hate Bama (not you), but thinking Bama has less potential than Georgia is nuts. Has there been a generation since CFB integrated that has not seen Bama win a title and be a national brand?

Nope, and prolly not before integration, depending on the defined length of “generation”...

[yjnkdawg]

I?ll take ?C?.

Define ?coming years?, please.

LOL My sentiments exactly, TUSK

[yjnkdawg]

Until TUSK gets his answer I will say sell. GA is in the same football stadium but I don't think they are ready to run or pass for that winning score yet.

I'm buying. I think the sleeping juggernaut in Georgia has woken up. They're about to dominate in state recruiting and stop bleeding so many kids to Florida, Bama, FSU, Tenn, Clemson, Auburn, etc... They lost all their best in-state products year after year after year. That's changing under Smart. If they consolidate talent in the state of Georgia, theyll catch and pass Bama.

Buy. Saban won't last much longer. Golden opportunity for UGA, as they are currently in the best position to do this

Buy.

Theyve already caught them

Lol. I’m so impressed with what Kirby Smart has done there in such a quick time. It’s amazing. He is the new Nick Saban of the SEC and nobody’s really recognized it or acknowledged it yet.

This all day.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Saban wil be hard to top. He recruits nationally (RB Najee Harris from California). He even recruits internationally (the foreign QB Tua ***).

Hawaii is internationally?

Lol..

[Jack Lambert]

I am selling.

[Dawgface]

If Dabo comes to bama in 3-4 years(assuming Saten retires), AL will continue to roll. Soft sell as I think GA will be the bama of the East, but just short of bama going forward.

[parabrave]

Sell. Georgia is one of the two most underachieving football programs in college football history. They have good seasons, good teams, good talent, and even good coaches, but they never materialize into championships.

Also, Kirby is doing a good job, but the East is severely depleted of talent and coaching. That won't always be the case. UF and UT will rise again, and the West has a few programs that will ultimately have a say in whether or not UGA can win a championship that are pretty good as well. In short, Kirby is a good recruiter (always has been), but he's going to have to prove he can get it done in crunch time AND sustain over a long period of time. It's one thing to build a winner, it's another thing be a winner consistently.

I figured the OP didn't mean Kirby would turn UGA into a dynasty? Smart isn't passing Saban. Saban recruits where he wants in states with greater programs and coaches looming over them than Georgia/Smart. You're right, the state of Georgia is loaded with talent, but BAMA, AU, UT, UF, FSU, etc have always pulled talent from there and always will. Too much talent there for UGA to hog it all, and there are way too many recruiting relationships and too many inroads have been established for way too long for them to just go away because an unproven head coach said so.

UGA and Smart have a LOT of work to do.

Mark Ritch is gone. He brought his choking to Miami. Now the state of Fla has the 2 biggest chokers in CFB.

The Germans are still bombing Pearl Harbor. Think his background is Samoan which is still American.

[Political Hack]

Still buying.

Still buying.

You are correct, sir! They?re building a beast in Athens. Didn?t believe it at beginning of the year but after this season and the recruiting class they signed, theyre for real.

[raymond21]

Buy. Ga just signed highest rated class in history of NCAA and they are the better team today
