re: What can we do to stop so many recruits from going to UGA?

If folks really paid attention they'd understand, based on their results of top classes, just how amazing this is. A top 3 talent producing state(imo for football they've surpassed CA in quality if not sheer numbers) and Kirby still goes national. Amazing that they feel there is less competition for national recruits than those from their own state. The entire SEC and all ACC powers heavily recruit GA. It really does mean more.
Ways to thwart it, win and wait out the surge they are on much like we had to with Bama. It's essentially the same monster in our nightmares. We just don't have hard feelings towards Kirby like we do Saban.

I mostly agree.

But I don't think Smart will be the same monster as Saban. Saban had a huge advantage recruiting in Louisiana and recruiting against LSU in that he was a former LSU head coach. Many Louisiana folks revere(d) Saban. They don't revere Smart. We don't have to worry as much about Smart plucking Louisiana players. That will help LSU be more competitive against Georgia/Smart than it was against Bama/Saban.
