And THIS is why I'm excited about UGA football again!
"Nation’s No. 1 OLB will give UGA a chance
Smart’s relationship with Lyndell Wilson, a 5-star outside linebacker, began when Wilson was a freshman. Now, UGA stands to benefit from that bond. Wilson told SEC Country on Wednesday that UGA has “a good chance” because of Smart.
He will take an official visit to UGA in order to learn more about Smart’s new team. Wilson was supposed to announce his commitment on Dec. 4, but he postponed that plan due to recent coaching changes. The longer he waits, the more time UGA has to climb up his list.
Texas CB now has UGA in his Top 2
UGA was nowhere near the top of junior college cornerback Antonio Kanonu’s list of schools, but that changed yesterday. After learning of Smart’s expected acceptance to become Richt’s successor, Kanonu, who was recently rated a 5-star by one database, now has UGA with TCU atop his leaderboard.
The sudden change is because of Smart, who Kanonu said “is going to change the whole UGA program and bring it back up to its winning tradition.” That means winning national championships, and it’s why Kanonu, and several other top recruits, are very interested in UGA."
