It's frustrating watching Bama, Clemson, Georgia land these types of QBs every year regardless of coaching changes and on the field results.


Look at the offenses we’ve been running. We were not on the radar because our offenses weren’t set up to generate big numbers from the QB position. We were at an extreme disadvantage recruiting these guys in the past because of this.

2019 changes that as long as the staff stays committed to a modern spread attack. You can already see that we are now in the conversation with this caliber of QB for next year forward. We just have to demonstrate consistency and we will be able to land them.

Aside from UGA throwing bigger bags than everyone else, it is widely known that Kirby is the king of negative recruiting.

Look at the offenses Georgia has been running. Nothing spectacular, no stand out high-powered spread offenses. Didn't stop Kirby from landing Eason and Fields.

Their offense was an absolute embarrassment this past year. And then they went and lost their offensive coordinator. According to what I've read on here, it should be borderline impossible for a school in such a situation to recruit any decent QB. Yet they just landed the #1 QB in the country for 2021.

Sure did. Vandagriff was the DC and Ironside was the HC. They both coach in Georgia now.

UGA's insane recruiting started the day Kirby showed up.

The very first class he brought in was ranked 3rd in the country.

Alabama kicked everyone’s teeth in for years and besides Tua has never done so with a true game changing qb recruit. They just dominated the lines to an enormous degree on both sides. Of course we aren’t really that far into Sabans change of heart on offense either. He coached way longer running the ball and living on defense than coming around to a more explosive offense being needed.

LSU could double its recruiting budget and still not match UGA. I'd love to see a very substantial increase in the LSU recruiting budget.

It's a good thing that Ed O has been far better at developing talent relative to Kirby Smart.

True but UGA's recruiting budget is also more than double that of LSU's recruiting budget. Scott Woodard needs to up the LSU recruiting budget substantially to keep up.

We are terrible at recruiting qbs


Well, when we had Les Miles we were always terrible at recruiting QBs cause Les Miles wouldn't develop QBs. As he would destroy them instead.

However, in case you haven't noticed, Les Miles no longer coaches at LSU anymore and LSU's last QB just won the Heisman besides a whole host of other major awards on top of it.

Hence, I have a feeling our fortunes are about to change.

I’m talking specifically about the last 4 years. They’ve been in the national spotlight. Rose Bowl, Playoff, a couple sugar bowls. Whereas we haven’t quite like that. My point is that our time is coming.


What do you mean? LSU just won a damn natty with the greatest football team ever in the history of NCAA college football. Not to mention that LSU also beat UGA in the SEC championship game by 27 points and for the second time in two past two seasons.

Meanwhile, when UGA won the SEC in 2017 and made it to the college football finals, they were actually the fourth-best team in the SEC. As the only reason why UGA beat Auburn in the SEC title game was that Auburn had become severely injury-riddled the week before. When Auburn had previously beat the tar shite out of UGA while at full strength.

Meanwhile, LSU had earlier beaten the tar shite out at Auburn, not when they were injury-riddled like when UGA did, but when they were at full strength.

Hence, both Auburn at full strength and LSU were better teams than UGA. Then when Alabama beat UGA in the National Championship title game, it proved the fact that UGA, the SEC champs, were actually only the fourth-best team in the SEC in 2017.

Sure a lot of UGA fans hang their hat on 2017, but many SEC fans know that they were extremely lucky cause they were really only the fourth-best team in the SEC in that 2017 season.

Moreover, when you make it to the National Championship title game and lose, you get nothing. You lost so UGA fans stop acting like your entitled to mad respect cause you aren't. You aren't entitled to anything! You didn't win a damn natty and quit acting like it. Meanwhile, you had to get lucky as hell just to win the damn SEC as the fourth-best team in the conference!

Furthermore, in the 2018 Sugar Bowl, UGA did nothing but embarrass the crap out of the SEC by losing to a four-loss Texas team and then LSU fans had to listen to Texas fans all during the offseason telling LSU fans that they were going to beat LSU like they beat UGA cause the SEC isn't worth a crap.
