Also, with our success in putting guys in the league, we should be touting our development. Especially Jones and Wilson. We just hoping we land guys that can leave in 3 years - this is the future in football recruiting. Kids don't want to get hit for free for 5 years. They want to get to the league in 3 years. We can make that happen, but we have to recruit accordingly.

Look at this top 75 list from UGA:

https://rivals.yahoo.com/BWI/footbal...gs/rank-3591/0

There are 32 four star players in UGA. Only 13 are committed to UGA or AU. Teams like Kentucky, Duke, UNC, Southern Cal, bears, and Louisville all have commits from this state that are 4 star or higher. There is no reason UK, Louisville, or Duke should beat us out for a player from UGA that is a 4 star. Now, maybe they are overrated, but we should be making this a priority and we don't.

Same with Texas.
Yep.. Pretty sad when u get out worked by other schools for these players ..
