For whatever this is worth, talked with a friend that resided in Athens as a player some years back today.
The crux of the chatter was this . . . . Jeremy Pruitt has a solid foothold in South Georgia. Young men believe him, say that he does not pull punches. Not their words, but Pruitt is "trusted". That is a far cry from what was going on a short time back.
Also mentioned in the conversation was JAX. Once upon a time JAX was called "South Georgia". Know that many on this board have probably never heard that, it is the truth. JAX was a hot spot for UGA recruiting throughout VD's tenure.
What we (UGA) have going for us is this . . . .
Recruiters that are recruiting. In school we called it doing our homework.
In Athens right now, on staff, we are as good as any SEC or other university when it comes to recruiters. Right now, that includes any university anyone wants to throw into the mix.
After today, even more solid with the group that now runs our defense. Even if some don't like or think Mike Bobo is a good offensive coordinator, he is one hell of a recruiter.
Question . . . . Would anyone on this board like to recruit against this group and Mike Bobo has been as good as anyone, including Auburn, Alabama and Florida. Don't belive that, go back and check the names recruited by Mike Bobo, and those that chose UGA.
Want to talk about play calling, maybe you should stop what you are doing and apply for Bobo's job. Hell yes, I said that.
