How long is Nick Saban going to tolerate Georgia offering in state kids before Alabama?
That’s shit he’s got time for.

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
He may have the time.. but not the space under the cap… yet.

What’s even funnier is the Krystal Ballers still think that Rueben Foster is going to Bama.

I still think Foster is going to Bama. It will take a TG recruiting effort similar to Jordan Jenkins to flip him. Can it be done? Hell yeah…but we’re certainly behind right now.

well right now I would be putting my money on TG making the turn over Smart and company. TG seems to talk the talk, and have his boys talking the talk as well…happy talk to be sure, but when Jones is breaking down the pre-snap read and it some coherent, that looks good. When TG talks to parents and players and NFL jargon, they like it.
If Jarvis Jones stays healthy and is the beast he should be this season, high school players around the south are going to be thinking that I want to be the next Jarvis Jones.

Hope you’re right and I agree with everything you’ve said in theory. I just think that all of that has to carry out for Foster to flip. If we go 8-4 and flop this season and Bama wins the west, then I would expect to see Foster in Crimson in ’13.

This entire recruiting saga is out of hand when we are concerned with stars. Hasn’t anyone noticed that the last several players and a couple earlier don’t boast many stars? Why would we be offering and spending our time with these kids if they aren’t “Star worthy”? Because we assess kids through film and coaching connections, family and in some instances , the recruiting services, but it all comes down to these kids being targeted as long as three years ago.
If they get an offer, it’s because they have been fully assessed as players and have committed as such. The “star givers will come around and change their assessments thus far and catch up with coaching staffs that have been out there for years. Everyone should take the time to learn about our new recruits, not wait on a star system to make you have admiration for them and determine how they can help our team. Those assessments have already been made by the football coaching staff.

Yes, stars matter and Foster is thought to be the 2nd best player in the country. Foster is a guy UGA needs, Cojones. It’s not the end of the world if we don’t get him, but he’s a game changer.
Looks like the hire is not Mansell either.

Maybe we all should review the “study” on the star ratings and the eventual outcome of the player and the comments. Mine were that the stats didn’t fit as well as they were plotted if you read closely to what was included and not called outliers. My point is that the stars haven’t been assessed for many 2013 players that are being selected by the standards I outlined. Doesn’t mean they won’t be either.
We would be lucky to get Newberg or Simmons, but not from a star assessment. Many people will be plugged into a recruiting system that would allow their review by those two, along with others that are the better known players. I think their opinion of all recruits’s upsides remains their most important input.

Senator I guess the notion of 25 soft cap and 28 hard cap is thrown out the window. I could swear that the SEC put a hard number to total class size in order to address the over signing issue and control greyshirting

The SEC dropped the number of fall enrollees to 28 after Houston Nutt’s signing frenzy at Ole Miss in ’09 and then down to 25 this past year. That doesn’t matter for early enrollees however. Their signatures only are limited by how far under 25/85 you are from the prior signing class, which in Georgia’s case we have six spots to allow for early enrollees assuming no unexpected departures before the freshmen get on campus this summer.

I was under the impression we could only early enroll up to 5 guys, that on top of the 25 could sign in a calendar year means we can sign 30 max for the class of 2013 no? and @ cojones stars in the aggregate matter.
