Could we lose Nkemdicie?

Looking around for whatever I can find, found this. Maybe some have seen this already. Grantham in my opinion is just what UGA needed. If you go to this site below and move the program slot over to around 13:20, Grantham lays out what he is looking for. Grantham is a clear thinker and I think he is along the lines of what you express kentdaddy.

Good coaching is worth more than stars. I would take a roster full of well coached 3 stars of a roster full of primadonna, undisciplined 5 stars any day of the week.

If a kid wants to go to an already peaked Auburn team then that demonstrates the quality of his decision making and we should encourage him to leave.

kd....your 1st paragraph just described Boise State.

Bump . . .

KENTDADDY, CMR ain't beating anyone with 3 star choir boys; he's lost to vandy, colorado, ky, ucf, msu, WITH better players. I want as many 5 stars as i can get, and most of them will work out.

Yeah, the key word there is "good coaching". wHAT 3 STAR have we coached up on the offensive side of the ball since CMR got here?

It is a cliche to talk about "give me 3 stars who want to play at UGA and I'll beat you". Not true. For every Dave Pollack I'll name you 10 average players who aren't fast, not strong, and can't beat a 5 star at Bama.

Yes, if we had Irk on defense and Holtz on offense, you may have a point.

Here's a few that were pretty doggone good and believe were 3 stars or less:

Fernando Velasco, Mikey Henderson, Nick Jones, Martrez Milner, and David Greene (who was signed by Donnan but coached up by CMR). Also Clint Boling and Ben Jones were 3 stars or less.
I could be off on one but notice most were OL which isn't unusual. Most skilled players that "make it" are 4 and 5 stars, not many 3 stars.
