Appears to me that Kirby Smart now has his feet firmly planted in Athens.
Top names in high school football are doing more than giving “lip service” to the State University (UGA). Like saying that.
Cannot remember in the past 15 years or so when folks like myself were looking out two, three years and making serious moves to keep the talent in state. There was a lot of “chirping” about sealing the borders a few years back, that was just that “chirping”.
Single biggest issue for many football teams, meaning NFL or college is getting the players to “buy” into the “process”. Like the “process” word or not, it has worked well for the folks in Tuscaloosa and will continue to do so.
Not a doubt in my mind that Smart and Company have sent a message to every team in the SEC. Smart and Company are not “chirping” they are “producing”.
2017 Season will be the next step in making sure even more “outsiders” are getting the message . . . . Changes have been made and more changes to come in the Classic City. Personally believe that 2017 Season sets the stage for Georgia Football for years to come. Also believe that the new additions to the roster are serious when they mention the different goals they expect to reach.
Still comes down to this . . . . quoting ogredawg again (paraphrasing). All the talent in the world does not reach those lofty goals without a staff that can put them into a position to fulfill not only their words, their dreams.
Kirby is no fool, he has a plan and . . . . FANS want to see more of what he has accomplished thus far and of course in the future.
Coach’em Up definitely has meaning.
PROOF . . . . Nick Chubb on "Spring Break" . . . .
