This is why UGA loses recruits. how many sliped away from us this year? How many did we wait until the last week to offer, only to have them stay with the team they commited to? these are in state kids who grew up as UGA fans, but then they have to sit and wait?

Because Richt is an idiot. This p** kids off and in the end, they don’t come to UGA. Look at the surrounding schools: Florida, Bama, FSU- that took Georgia kids this past signing day. Many did not have Georgia offers yet these other schools (better or equivalent teams) felt them worthy and offered early. AND they produce on the field. Is Richt and his staff unable to really evaluate talent? I’m starting to think so. I think we missed out on several this year that wound up in neighborhing states. Besides the fact that I’m starting to see more Florida and BAMA gear flying than Georgia stuff. What the hell is his deal?

they had another top 10 class this year so they didnt miss much. you two are cluless when it comes to coaching and recruiting college football. just sit back and shut your crying about how UGA loses recruits because they don’t offer early. richt and company have been doing great so far. just have a little more faith in your team and coaches than you show. UGA cant signed everyone..get real guys.

Unbelievable. While I will be the first one to say it’s frustrating when we lose certain kids, how can UGA possibly sign all the top level talent in the state of Georgia when the state produces enough talent to stock multiple teams? Our scholarships were somewhat limited this year, and if memory serves me correct, we have two, maybe three remaining. If Geathers and Charles sign, we’d have none or possibly one remaining. And if Toby Jackson had made the grades, we’d have none remaining.

Just who did we lose in state because we didn’t offer as a junior? If you believe what these kids say, Jarvis Jones wanted to go out of state, Greg Reid went to FSU with his cousin and thought he could start quicker, Michael Bowman committed to Bama after UGA told him he needed to get his grades up before offering a scholarship. The list goes on and on. Would you rather trade Aaron Murray or Marlon Brown - top talent from Florida and Tennessee - for any of these kids?

Granted, it’s tough, but I like who we got. You know the old saying, you can’t win them all.

Hey Roarke-you clearly know nothing about how college football recruiting works.UGA has probably the best recruiters in the nation including its head coach.150 recruits or more will sign from th estate of Georgia D1 UGA cant sign them all.The past 8 yrs we are always in the top 5 or 10.We will be in th etop 5 or 10 next year also.You recruit for need perhaps injury plays a factor at one position or another.The reputation of UGA coaches as recruiters are second to none.Richt,Bobo,Garner,J Lilly,Searles are known in college circles as among the best.I coached in Georgia for 21 yrs and talked to most of the coaches in the south and Georgia’s coaches do it the right way.Georgia can not sign every player nor can the other top football producing states such as Texas,Fla,Louisiana,California.

Anyone who thinks dawgs don’t recruit well is an idiot. Since MR got to Athens we have had top 10 or better. This year 8th or 9th by most(ESPN-5th)Recruiting is based on what your needs are not by what the kid is ranked.I doubt any kid signs with the school he recieved the first offer from and most want to drag the process out as long as possible for the hype.

Take a look at the WRs already on UGA’s roster guys. Also take a look at the type of reciever UGA seems to like now. They are going more in the direction of the 6’4” and 6’5” types that can make plays downfield over smaller DBs. This type of reciever also takes a lot of pressure off of the QB. That will factor into who they go after the hardest. UGA can also afford to go light on the WRs in next year,s class and focus on the big uglies on both sides of the ball.

Lately UGA seems to go for real tall or real fast in it’s WRs. Sometimes they get both in the same person. They also seem to go for recruits that really like or want to go to UGA. In other words they seem to look at what is in the recruits heart. Whatever the criteria is that RIcht uses, he does a great job year in and year out. True Dawg fans know this.

Richt has done a good job of staying in the rules, not over signing. The only team that has been more consistantly been in the Top10 at the end of the season is USC. Kiffin and the new Washington coach both from USC are reporting violations. You have to ask how many rules does their former program break break?

UGA still gets top RBs, Elite 11 QBs, and a top 5 WR this year and last. I will take my chances with Richt and not ask questions. It is just a matter of timing and staying healthy before UGA is in the big game.

By Sarcastic Dawg

I think we should fire Richt for not offering a scholarship to every 4 star and up junior in the state of Georgia. He is a total failure. And I don’t want to hear any excuses about NCAA rules on scholarship limitations. If he were a good coach he would find a way around those rules. We need at least a 5 or 6 deep roster filled with 4 and 5 star recruits to compete in the SEC.

Memo to haters: This is how stupid you sound. I kid you not. Everyone is laughing at you.

Mark Richt recruiting results:

a top 10 QB nationally a top 15 RB nationally

top five TE nationally,and top player from Mass. two top 10 offense linemen nationally a top 10 DT nationally top 20 DE nationally, and top player from Ind.

top CB from Va a top 5 linebacker class a great athlete at safety That is the reason we signed a top 5 class and GT signed a class ranked between 40th and 50th. Everyone knows that the Jones kid is a great WR, but he will be heading to Notre Dame. UGA fans don’t care what people are wearing. That is so fickle. Most of those people flip to the popular team at the time. How many Gator shirts did you see five years ago? They were wearing FSU shirts. We don’t need that type of “fan”. GT had a good season last year and your attendance went down. UGA averaged over 92,000 again. To Pago Flyer, we beat the GATORS two seasons ago and a few days ago in basketball. Go DAWGS.

I trust the coaches. Cant offer/sign every good prospect in the state.

However, I will always remember the recruiting of Calvin Johnson and Demiko Goodman, the #1 and #2 receivers in the state. UGA went hard after Goodman and the later flirted with Calvin only to lose out to the “bad guys”. We know how that one turned out. That miss could have cost UGA an SEC and poss NC. One dominant receiver can really make a huge diff.

Rumor was Jones’s father was shopping him around last summer to various high schools. Jones played at Roswell High in the ‘07 season as a sophomore and started the AAAAA Quarterfinal game vs. Lowndes. He attended UGA’s summer camp in ‘08. A Gainesville High Asst coach worked the camp. When Jones transferred to GHS word was Richt was not happy with his summer camp being used to solicit players? True or not this sounds more likely than anything else on this board. Jones is a talent and good kid. We’re glad he’s at GHS!!!

Schools should not be allowed to contact high school underclassmen and we pathetic fans should know better than to pay any attention to them. As a Tech fan, I hope they get the best available academically qualified athletes, but I am sure Richt and UGA could care less about Tech “getting there first.” Georgia is a talent-rich state and both Tech and UGA should be more worried about out of state recruiters (ACC vs. Tech; SEC vs. UGA). When all is said and done, there is really very little overlap in realistic recruiting by the two big universities in the state.

It’s a slow and sad news day when I find myself reading comments about recruiting h.s. juniors. GT and UGA fans would rather talk about anything other than basketball these days, myself included. I would take issue with ArabGirlsRHot’s earlier remarks about Tech and No. 1 rankings: You are right that we don’t need to worry about being No.1. We were there long before (and more often than) UGA and have been there again since. Granted, 1990 was a long time ago, but 1980 was even longer ago. And, 45-42 seems like only yesterday… But I forgive your transgressions, you seem to have DesertFever, which often occurs after a bout of RiceFever (you were probably AsianGirsRock last week, haha).

Wreckhorn, yours is the post of the day. For that matter it may be the post of the month. I concur with virtually everything you said. Georgia is a talent rich state and both teams can prosper with the home grown products. I remember Bobby Bowden saying he could take the players from the state of Florida passed on by Miami and UF and still win big. Same here.

You haven’t been number 1 since UGA was, given that was just a year ago. Tech will never be number one in their division, let alone the ACC, and especially not the Nation. Sad you have to cling to a history that you didn’t even get to experience :(

It’s been since ‘52 since your bees won the title outright. That’s over half a century so you don’t have to hurt your brain. We all know who the real champ was from ‘90. That’s the team that actually played a champion’s schedule :)

How about a fact that UGA never goes back on their word when they offer a scholly, something Meyer, Spurrier, and recently Kiffin have done before. When UGA offers a kid a scholly, they never go back on their word - even if a kid has a serious injury, so it is understandble that they are a little more conservative when giving out scholarships.

FullMetalJacket,

Watergun has cleared it all up for you. Ga won the NC last year! Tech will never be ACC or NCs. Tech’s 5 NCs mean nothing compared to GA’s ONE NC in 1980.Any NCs before 1980 are null & void & henceforth never to be referred to again. Same goes for 1990. 2008 was called due to rain.

There is no denying this impeccable logic.

If a kid won’t commit to UGA because he didn’t have an offer by Feb of his junior year, then he didn’t like UGA that much anyway.

Why is it the longer a blog gets with responses with the more NC’s Tech gets, and the fewer UGA gets. You know that the NCAA recognizes two UGA National Championships, right? And if they wanted to be like Tech we could claim 5 as well. Or 12, depending on their mood.

I hate it but Roarke is dead on with this one! Everytime one of us has some valid critisism of Richt the whole nation jumps on them with both feet.

Has Richt done a good job for us…of course he has, but is there lots of room for improvement…YES! Roarke nailed it at the beginning of this post. I believe out “talent evaluators” are lacking. Yes we sign a big class every year, but who couldn’t at UGA? It’s those big time guys that we jump on late (just because everyone is has already offered) that we miss out on. These are guys that we should have known from the start were studs, but somehow we missed them???? Why does this continue to happen year in year out? We lose guys to USC…FSU…Tenn and even Tech for goodness sakes!

In summary yes we sign a good class almost every year, but these classes could have been signed by a monkey at UGA simply due to the overall appeal of UGA and our great program and tradition. However, until we learn how to properly evaluate talent we will never land the best of the best! We’re always a day late and maybe a bunch of $$$ short.

Then again, beating UGA to a recruit is like winning the pole in NASCAR…it doesn’t matter who’s first first, it matters who’s first last, when the checkered flag falls.

Pardon me, but I’m new to Atlanta and I have a few sincere questions: Do people really care who talks to be-pimpled recruits first down here? What can supporters of Coach Hewitt at Ga. Tech point to in his favor?—objectively, he clearly should be fired and then perhaps sued—that’s the NewYork way. Why don’t the baseball fans down here demand better management of the Braves, esp. in personnel selection? If Univ. of Ga is so dominant, why are their fans so defensive and thin-skinned? If Ga. Tech is so intelligent, why did it get stuck with a 10 million dollar buyout for a losing coach? If Vick had not been arrested, would the Falcons be in a better or worse situation now?—I think much worse with little future optimism. Finally, what is the other paper in town besides the Atl. Journ-Const? There must be one out there somewhere…..

Turn around now and see rosie o’donnell coming right at your scared little behinds!

How can Tech beat UGA to Tai-Ler if UGA is not recruiting him?

The good old ajc has not let the facts get in the way of another headline and story.

Hey Dog Doo,

Why is it the longer a blog gets with responses with the more NC’s Tech gets, and the fewer UGA gets. You know that the NCAA recognizes two UGA National Championships, right? And if they wanted to be like Tech we could claim 5 as well. Or 12, depending on their mood.

Hey PSD….Since you referred to the NCAA recognizing NC’s go to this link and let me know how many you find for any D1 school. This is straight from the NCAA site. “The NCAA does not conduct a championship for the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (Division I FBS - formerly Division I-A).”

Once you are at the link below find your school in the drop down menu on the top right. Let me know what you find for Football.

Sorry to blast with you facts FullMetalJacket, but I think the fact that Tech played a bunch of barely over .500 teams in 1990, while Colorado played 3 Conference Champions along with 7 teams with at least 8 wins, compared to Tech’s 3, says it all.

Colorado is the real champ from 1990.

Great link Darren. That list makes me wonder how Tech can even claim their ‘52 title? It looks like they’ve only won 1 real championship out right in 1917, and got most of the polls in ‘28. But other than that….I’m not really sure how Tech fans are claiming their 5-8 NC’s, depending on the fan.

The fact is Georgia Tech was the only undefeated team in 1990.

Colorado lost one and should have lost two.

It then needed a questionable penalty call to win its bowl game.

The link also shows that Georgia’s NC in 1980 had a lot of doubters - - more even than Georgia Tech’s in 1990.

EARTH TO UGA FANS: Does UGA have to have all of the 4 and 5 star players on earth ? And why does it matter since nothing happens when they get to Athens anywat? Most of these 4’s and 5’s are just going to sit on the beach at UGA anyway and they know it. Do you people really think they’re that stupid. “Oh yea, I’ll take a UGA scholly just to sit on the bench instead of going somewhere where I can play.” Dream on bros.
