He seems to think rules changes are imminent.
“Almost every year there have been guys in our class in that gray shirt situation. Normally, we say you don’t have to tell anybody, just sign on Signing Day and the chances of you coming in with your class, no one’s going to know the difference, which I don’t think is dishonest with the way things are,” Richt said. “So we’ve signed guys knowing that the class is full and asked if they could come in January, but every time we’ve done that, there’s been a space and they came in with their class.”
But those rules might be about to change.
According to Richt, the SEC and the NCAA is changing the rules “just as rapidly as they can to keep it from happening in the future.”
It’s a little unclear whether he’s referring to oversigning or greyshirting there, but he sure sounds like a man who’s heard something is about to happen. It’ll be interesting to see if he’s right; we’ll get some indication of that from the SEC meetings later this month.

It should embarras these, so-called, men of integrity if they leave Destin (again) and don’t address the oversigning issue. Even if they put a “cap” at 1/2 over to account for slippage, this bad behavior should be stopped immediately. Even the Big 10/12 gets it, and controls it by protecting the athlete while maintaining a level playing field for their member schools.
If the out of control, oversigning programs were child molesters/abusers, would they need the NCAA to pass legislation to make them change their behavior? There is no defense for what a handfull of SEC schools are doing with oversigning. You don’t need Big Brother to tell you to stop, your own code of ethics should be enough.

Sorry, that looks like one half over, meant to say a cap of 1-2 over the actual number of openings might be a compromise solution that would be fair to all given the historical data on some players not making it in the fall after they sign. If they all did make it on campus, let that school be over by 1-2 for that one year, being one freshman over the 85 scholarship level wouldn’t be a significant power factor anyway and it would reward coaches who sign more players that make it academically.

Well said.
Most SEC fans have no idea how big of an advantage Oversigning (the way it’s done at Alabama, other SEC West teams, and to some extent South Carolina) is.
Essentially, they sign 4 classes to our 3. Put another way they sift 20-25 more players through their system every 3 years. And may the best players stick. That’s a tremendous personnel advantage over teams that stay within the 85 all year. And when those extra 20-25 players are elite recruits, as with LSU and Alabama, the advantage is even greater.
So yeah, it will be a travesty and embarrassment if the Destin meetings don’t address this primary element of Oversigning.
But I suspect Crap Sandwich is right, and something will be done about grayshirting abuses, and the main problem will be left pretty much alone.

Very unfortunate comments from Coach Richt on this.
I’m not sure which years he is referring to in which he oversigned and considered using grayshirts since UGA hasn’t been oversigned in several years. But he still defends the practice after basically saying, “Hey, we aren’t as bad about it as some other schools.”
Grayshirting should not be an option left open for UGA employees. One can say that as long as a coach is honest with recruits about the situation, than no wrong has been done. But how does anyone know what coaches have said in private meetings with teenagers? How does anyone know what these people understand about the risks of grayshirting? A coach can sell a player on the likelihood of having to grayshirt being very, very small… when he, having full control of the numbers, knows that is not true. (This is what Nick Saban and heavily oversigning coaches do.)
The best organizations and institutions stay vigilant in attempting to remove areas such as this in which employees have great incentives to behave unethically.
Florida has said it will no longer consider grayshirting. The weaker, poorer, less academically respected institutions of the SEC have taken the exact opposite approach: defending the practice and promising to continue it.
I sports hate Florida as much as any UGA fan, but the reality is that Florida is 21st Century, affluent, heavily populated and successful state. And the University of Florida’s academic standing is widely seen as the second best among SEC schools (with UGA being a not too distant 3rd).
UGA should be seeking to stay with Florida and Vanderbilt in the 21st Century. It should not be wanting to chase Alabama, Auburn and the rest of these schools into 1950. Being better requires behaving better, and behaving better often requires improving your behavior, even if it’s already much better than that of people living in small, impoverished, largely irrelevant, economically stagnant states nearby.

Points well taken, but I don’t think for a minute that Richt has ever deceived a recruit or his family. What he’s said, and I heard him say it, is the few times we’ve done it, everything was up front … with the player and his parents from the get-go. We didn’t come back later and say “oh gosh, will you take a grayshirt”. And most, if not all, of the time the spot opened up anyway.
Georgia is not part nor parcel to the Oversigning problem in any way whatsoever.

And Nick Saban and all the rest say the same. Upfront, impoverished Southern black kid knew what he was getting into, fully knew the risks, and so on.
So we say Mark Richt really has been totally honest and really did fully explain the risks and really was somehow able to bring the often heavily disadvantaged kids we recruit into this violent game around to understanding the risks, terms, numbers, and the rest as well as the seasoned pros they are up against. Are we right in saying this? Maybe. We sure hope so. But Nick Saban says he does all the same and has just as many people there to support him on it.
Just a really bad approach. Grayshirting is not needed. 85 is plenty. The only reason to grayshirt is to push the envelope to gain an edge. But allowing that leaves open the risks of letting the school’s operations be handled by Nick Saban, Mal Moore, and similarly repulsively dishonest and unethical men. Mark Richt won’t be the coach at Georgia forever. The next coach might be another man of Richt’s character… or he might be a Nick Saban. The next AD might be a Mal Moore.
Very simple solution: do as Will Muschamp recently did. Announce publicly that whatever its policies on this issue were in the past, in 2011 and going forward grayshirting and oversigning are completely off the table as options for UGA employees.
It’s 2011. It’s Georgia. It’s the South. There is extremely relevant history here as much as we might not want to face it. I’m proud that the state of Georgia is not Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc. I’m proud that it is economically booming and rapidly growing while those remain economically and culturally stagnant. I’m proud the University of Georgia has greatly distanced itself from these SEC West schools in behavior and academic reputation since the “good old days” of the SEC.
Down one path sits progress, modernity, development, etc. Down the other sits, well, Alabama. The exact opposite. Other schools up ahead of us down the good path have chosen to take grayshirting and oversigning off the table. Down the opposite path sit a bunch of embarrassing people and their embarrassingly regressive institutions and culture and their defense of such practices.
Yeah, maybe more football wins are down the Alabama path.

IMHO, Georgia has always been one of the classier programs in the SEC, may the best. From Mehre to Butts to Dooley to Richt, with few exceptions. And the record shows Georgia has led the way over the years toward a more progressive model, of which you speak, not only in the SEC, but nationally.

Texas I think you are making a big leap and a lot of assumptions to leap Richt in with what Saban and Nutt do. It seems pretty obvious that UGA doesn’t use the same strategy as Bama and Ole Miss when Richt doesn’t sign classes 6-8 players larger than they have room for like those schools do. Georgia may sign one or two more but that has to be done or UGA would end up signing a half a class less than everyone else every 4 years.
No one is suggesting UGA should mislead any recruit. There is nothing wrong with gray shirting as long as the recruit knows it is a possibility from the beginning. Richt has been pretty clear that is how UGA handles it. If UGA wasn’t some one would have spoken out about it by now if they weren’t treated fairly.

These inferior SEC West schools are then left without a “they do it too” out and are left having to defend the repulsive behavior on its own merits.

Not sure where you’re getting your facts from … let’s clear up everal things …
First, Richt has never defended oversigning in any way, shaoe, or form. Quite the contrary, he’s being quoted in Sports Illustrated right now as saying he “thinks it’s an awful thing to do”.
As to grayshirting, Richt says we have used it some, but only as it was intended to be used. I’m pretty sure no player who accepted the possibility of a grayshirt up front, has ever had to actually take it. Somehow a place opened up NATURALLY, not forced or manipulated. Regardless, Richt has been a model of how the rule was intended to be used, always keeping the interests of the player first, where it should be.
Second, there is plenty of evidence that reveal what Saban and others are doing, regardless of what they and their dumbed-down fanbase says. They are exploiting the rules, knowing that significant numbers of kids will be hurt. But they don’t care, because it gives them an advantage.
There is absolutely no need for Georgia to change its honorable behavior when others are unethical or cheat. The rules were intended to protect teams from natural attrition. It is ridiculous to suggest we not use the rules justly, simply because others are abusing it. That would put ourselves at a greater disadvantage than we already are.
Our job is to operate within the rules, while applying the highest ethical standards and integrity. And that is what we are doing.

You are confusing Oversigning, as practiced by the SEC West and South Carolina, with Grayshirting. Yes, Grayshirting, by definition, technically requires signing one or even several more than you have room for.
Quit the contrary, Oversigning, as it’s most often discussed and defined, involves signing considerably more than you have room for, knowing full well that natural attrition will rarely, if ever, open up enough spots. Plus, it requires being fully prepared to manipulate or force a number of current scholarship players out of the program in order to create the spots you need.
I don’t know how to say it any clearer than that.
Richt has never even come close to doing anything like that. He doesn’t have to defend anything, and neither do we. If you are the loyal Dawg you claim to be, and it’s appearing you are not, then you should be proud of the way your head coach has handled this issue, instead of criticizing him for acting faithfully and within the intent of the rules. Richt’s actions in this regard are nothing short of a model for the NCAA.
He needs to do nothing other than what he’s been doing. To do what you are arguing for would be STUPID, and totally uncalled for.
If the rules change, and I hope they do, Georgia will benefit as much as any team in the country, probably more.

Mark Richt is about as ethical a man as you or I will ever meet. I just don’t understand the way Richt handles this is wrong on any level. He is completely up front with kids and doesn’t make it a regular practice. Basically, he uses it on kids that we might not have room for at that position and says: “We’ve got a spot for you, I just can’t promise you it’s in August or January.” The bottom line is that most of those kids could go to Ole Miss or South Carolina and be assurred a spot in August, but they want to come to Georgia. Why is it HIS problem if he’s honest with kids who want to be Bulldogs?
And how in the world can you not see the advantage of having more quality players on campus. And, essentially, it’s not number 86, 87, or 88 because you can only have 85 at one time any way you slice it. Those guys are not eligible to practice or play during their grayshirt. Basically, we’re saying that we want them to mature and develop for another year before they’re ready, and we’re honest with them on that. I don’t see what’s wrong with that at all and I don’t even think it’s ethically questionable.
We don’t pull scholly offers. We don’t revoke current schollies. We don’t oversign and bait & switch. We are the most ethically responsible recruiters in College Football. And that is not hyperbole. Florida can hold a candle to the kind of morals Richt uses in recruiting. And I could care less if they’ve decided not to grayshirt. That’s probably because Muschamp doesn’t have the cajones to just be upfront and honest about it like Richt does.

Secondly, Georgia has not oversigned in years and has never done it to any great extent under Richt. Meanwhile, Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss, South Carolina, and Arkansas regularly oversign by 6-15 players every single year. They are gaining 5 to even 6 recruiting classes for every 4 that we get. 20 to 40 more players than Georgia from which to choose every 4 years.
So you are arguing that Georgia could not compete without having the option of doing something it very rarely does and does to an extent that is far, far less than most SEC schools.

There is always upside to getting good players. To me, at least, you’re taking a moral high-ground that I just don’t see as necessary. You’re making an arbitrary decision that grayshirting is morally apprehensible when I don’t think it is. I think it’s morally apprehensible to lie. Mark Richt doesn’t lie to kids.
And you are making a snap judgment that you think the practice has no upside because that fits your argument, when it obviously does.
And I am a graduate and have been an employee of the AA. I DO care about our moral standing and academic reputation, but I don’t see how this affects either. Grayshirts can be 4.0 students.

You miss the point entirely and need to pick an argument. Grayshirting and Oversigning are 2 VERY different issues. Oversigning is apprehensible and something that I’m totally against. Oversigning implies lies and has with the repercussions that current or new players will be pushed out. UGA should never do that. So, I’m not looking at those as one and the same. Richt doesn’t oversign and he doesn’t lie to recruits.
Grayshirting is simply saying, “Son, we’ve got 85 schollies. We don’t see you fitting into that 85 until next year. If you want to sit out the fall, we’d love to have you then.” What’s wrong with that? You’re not pushing any guys out and you’re being honest.
They’re 2 very different. And…with attrition from early graduations, giving up football, kicked off team and academically ineligible, it sometimes works out that they DO get to come in with their class. Then, instead of 82 or 83 scholly players you’ve got 85.
I do not condone or support oversigning and something needs to be done about Saban, but I just don’t see grayshirting in the same light.
And I’d love for us to be lumped in with those other schools. Could you create a population explosion that would allow us the natural recruiting base like the state schools of Florida, Texas and California have?
And, just for future reference, while Florida, USC, and Texas may have had recent success, but their most recent seasons aren’t something to be admired and the guys that oversign are, uh, well, winning championships.
In the end, you’re way more worried about it than me. It’s bad for kids, but we have a coach that is completely transparent and honest in a cut-throat and deceitful industry. I think this year’s class was a sign that moms and dads are getting a clue that what Mark Richt says can be taken to the bank and I think H.S. coaches are catching on, too. Should we lead the charge to get it changed? Sure, why not. But, ultimately, I think honesty and the truth wins. I think there’s something in the Book about ‘setting you free.’
