I recently saw a piece somewhere that suggested currently there are five teams recruiting at a level different from the rest of college football: Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, LSU and Ohio State.
With that in mind, here are a couple of charts plotting a four-year recruiting rating history against a 2019 advanced stat, expected points added.

Overall, there’s pretty good evidence the cream rises to the top — except when it’s being churned at Southern Cal. Which is why Kirby continues to live, eat and breath recruiting.
But Georgia clearly has some work to do getting offensive production to match its talent level. The good news is that Todd Monken has plenty to work with.
If Monken could do at Georgia what he did at Ok State and S Miss with Georgia quality talent, look out.

I am all Monken, but before we compare talent and hope based on Ok State and S Miss, let’s remember he did not face Alabama and Clemson defense talent in the playoffs, or the SEC weekly

I get that, but look at where S Miss was when he took the job and where they were when he left. The guy can coach offense.

nor did he have the athletes, it is all relative.

So did Coley.
G Day is going to look rough for the offense for the simple reason the defense is so stacked.

This validates what I’ve thought all along. The level of coaching at Georgia has fallen short of the talent level. We need better assistants and Kirby has taken steps to address that problem.

Mayor, I have to agree with you. I think we’ve underperformed on offense the last couple of years. Kirby seems to be on it, though, so the future looks bright.
