To no one’s surprise, the NCAA announced moar dead period.
Obviously, that can’t be helped, but you know it’s got to be frustrating for the guy whose program spent more money on recruiting than anyone else in the known universe not to be able to get face to face meetings. Meanwhile, Jeremy Pruitt is out there taking verbal commitments like a Varsity cashier in the middle of lunch hour.
It’s not the end of the world, of course. As Seth Emerson ($$) points out, Kirby is certainly holding his own.
Georgia is still in good position, good enough that it got a commitment from outside linebacker Chaz Chambliss — a four-star ranked No. 255 overall in the 247Sports Composite. Georgia is in the running for a number of five-stars, including many from out-of-state, such as safety James Williams from south Florida.
It helps that he operates in the talent rich environment that is the state of Georgia. Six of the eight commitments from the class of 2021 are in state kids. They’re good enough that the Dawgs currently sit fourth in the SEC in the Sports247 Composite, with the highest average score in the conference.
It’s going to be something to see when the dead period comes to a close. Can you spend the equivalent of a year’s worth of a recruiting budget in a month?
