Randle was the best in the state when he came out

That was actually one of the nicer pieces of journalism on here, VT.

Posters that bash on our coaching staff for not locking up the state use recruiting service rankings, so I felt I could use recruiting service rankings to back up my opinion.

While I pretty much agree with the point you're trying to make, the basis on which you're proving it with is kind of flawed. Georgia is more populated than Alabama and Louisiana combined; and while they don't quite produce the per capital talent that comes out of Louisiana or Alabama, they still pump out a ton of talent every year. With that said, the in state talent pool is simply too vast for Georgia to target all of the top prospects the same way, for instance, LSU can.
Also, with out the possibility of even being able to give scholarships to every player that is deserving, UGA has had no way of shutting down out of state schools from recruiting the state extremely hard. Ga Tech may be the only other D1 program in the state, Georgia has to recruit against Auburn, Alabama, UF, Tennessee, FSU, Clemson, and USCe enough to make it feel as though there's a lot more.
I don't feel like there's any recruiting landscape in country that is like LSU's. Despite having 4 other 1A schools in Louisiana, the Tigers don't have any in state competition for top prospects. The closest major out of state school is not within 150 miles of the state line, which also makes LSU's situation so unique.
