Another thought . . . .
Any board member believe that a heavily recruited player is not going to look at what point in time he will play?
Coaching in the SEC can "almost" guarantee a player that they will either be in the FINAL FOUR, or damn close.
Most of the heavily recruited high school players, many BMOC do not understand that there is a huge difference in high school and college. Sometimes/many times the head gear sizes "change" from high school senior to college freshman.
Again I believe that this is where Coach Smart and Company will benefit those that "understand" . . . . this is not "high school".
Believe that Smart and Company will bring in the talent that "they" know will fit in their system. I would be hard pressed to believe that the new leadership will do anything more than build depth . . . . "based" on the "process".
"Process" is a new word in Athens. Has not been employed since ??
Head Coach Kirby Smart and COMPANY, understand "process".
Another question for those of us on the "outside" . . . . Do we understand the "process" after fifteen(15) years?
Hard for me to believe that any board member will not follow the "process" up until and after the recruiting and Spring Game is played. Bet this, there will be some changes, new sheriff and deputies in town.
Recruits on the internet are going to make decisions between now and LOI Day. Coach Smart and Company are in Athens for one reason. Teach and win. Ground work is in place. We will not get everyone that we want . . . . but "who the hell does?"
Leave the "fluff" to the media, Smart and Company will take care of what "needs" to be done to move us forward.
