Today, in cannon shots

Georgia is collapsing under the pressure of South Carolina’s epic recruiting run.  Or not.

We already knew Georgia finished 2018’s Signing Day with the second highest-rated class ever, breaking Alabama’s seven-year streak, one month after nearly toppling Bama’s title dynasty on the field as well.

Most importantly, UGA dominated its division, hilariously outpacing the SEC East for the second class in a row.

So how’s 2019 recruiting going for Kirby Smart’s Dawgs*?

Well, after a weekend that included a commit from five-star RB John Emery Jr. and two other four-stars, UGA has 10 commits in 2019’s top-150 recruits, per the 247Sports Composite.

The rest of the SEC East has four. Combined.

UGA has five five-star commits to the rest of the division’s two, plus 10 four-stars, more than doubling up anybody besides Tennessee.

Kirby says pressure is a privilege.  It seems Georgia is feeling mighty privileged on the recruiting trail these days.

UPDATE:  Strong stuff from SBN’s Bud Elliott.

After what UGA did last year, the rest of that division is going to be playing for 2nd in the East for the foreseeable future if this continues.

Almost all of the recruits committed to other East schools would likely be told "no thanks" if they tried to commit to UGA right now. https://t.co/OV0SA0oZqS
