[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 799042, member: 2299"] Are we just using ATL as a catch all for the south east? Because otherwise I don't think his track record really speaks of an overly close affiliation with Atlanta, or Georgia, in particular. I mean, usually he's right. And I usually don't disagree or contest what he says. This time he's wrong though. Rosemond didn't land Sexton, and Lewis is a born and bred Alabama native, not an ATL kid. Neither is Clowney. They are literally out of state players. And there is a big difference between players born and raised in Georgia, specifically Atlanta area, and those who are just participating on an AAU team which is branded from Atlanta. People gave UGA hell when they pretended they were from Atlanta and at least they are in the same state. The best example to use would probably be Teondre Williams to Oregon back in 08 or something for pulling ATL kids anywhere fwiw. Looking at the Alabama Classes when he was there. 17 - everyone was committed prior to him joining I believe. 18 - 2 from Alabama 1 from MS. 19 - 5 from all over the place. KS, MS, Cal, NC, NV 20 - 2 from FL, Ontario, AZ, Ohio. At UGA he got Hammonds out of Norcross in the class of 17. 2016 - 2 in state players from Atlanda Suburbs Donalsonville and Bainbridge. 2015 - 2 in state players from Mableton and Athens. 2014 (not sure how much he recruited this class) - 0 Georgia players. Now that is with a quick look and something could be off. (for example Tamar Bates is listed as being from FL because he played at IMG his senior year but is from Kansas I believe). If there is then feel free to correct. Otherwise, maybe Indiana got him for his regional ties, but I think that is largely more incidental. I think it's far more likely they viewed his experience as an assistant, 15+ years, and general recruiting success regardless of region (he spent a good chunk of time in oregon) as more important especially in light of Woodson being a coach with no college experience. But hey, we'll see. Maybe Inidana's recruiting classes will suddenly be flushed with southern boys. I'm not holding my breath though. [/QUOTE]
