the real question is how TF does kirby pull that much talent
How does a coach keep pulling talent to a school who has had a top ten recruiting class every year since 2011 top 6 in the last 5 or 6 years (under Rcht as well as Kirby). A school that has won their division 5 of the last q0 years and the sec twice and been to the CFP championship game.

In that same period LSU has won their division twice, though they did win the SEC both times and o championship games winning the one this year. Prior to 2109, Georgia would have looked just as or more atteactive than LSU.

Georgia fans will tell you the same thing LSU (and Notre Dame and any number of other colleges) fans used to say “Georgia recruits itself”. Of course that’s not really true, but there is a kernel of truth to all of that. It recruiting momentum, which often outruns outcome. And there is him state/home school loyalties in play for schools like Georgia and LSU, though I don’t think it as strong as that once was.

What you are seeing at Georgia now is momentum. 2 or 3 more years of underperforming or Florida starting to win the bulk of the Easter division titles and that will drop off, maybe dramatically and maybe not.

Georgia's recruiting rankings over the years -

2012 - 9th
2013 - 12th
2014 - 8th
2015 - 6th
2016 - 6th
2017 - 3rd (Kirby's first class)
2018 - 1st
2019 - 2nd
2020 - 1st

There is a very clear and significant uptick in Georgia's recruiting prowess since Kirby arrived.
