Top 100 Georgia Recruits

This wasn’t a diss to Johnson, I understand it’s been going like this at GT, but I think we can change it.

Don’t believe this Steam. I don’t know why everyone on here wants to act like the way we recruited under Johnson was normal but it was not.

Understood. But when have we had a great recruiter as HC?

O’Leary consistently got more. Let’s not buy into the false narrative that has become so prevalent here to justify the recruiting of Johnson.

I’m probably wrong, but I have a hunch the President is finally on board the football train. CG kept mentioning him in the press conference. But, maybe I’m reading something that’s not there.

If he’s not we either need to tie him to the tracks or put him on the first train heading out of town.

I've followed recruiting since the O'Leary days and the beginning of the old Border Wars. Looking back at the rosters from 99-00, he signed way more 4 stars back then. Nate Curry, Sidney Ford, Kerry Watkins, Jeremy Muyres, Tony Hollings, Joe Burns were all some of his 4 star recruits. Some panned out, some didn't.

Some want to cite APR and other academic changes, but O'Leary pushed the boundaries academically at times, and that brought a lot of in school clamp down; it wasn't all NCAA. Paul Johnson didn't for one minute recruit as well as GO, but he graduated men and did right by the school's academic standards.

More than one thing can be holding recruiting back at a time. Just because academics were a restriction doesn't mean that Johnson also didn't make things harder with his choice in offense and handling of the media.

I agree

Dodd was the best. He could sell ice to an Eskimo but he had the support of the administration AND had the Atlanta media eating out of his hand. Beyond that, probably no one who was "GREAT" but Coach O'Leary was pretty good in spite of his gruff demeanor at times.

I will believe it when I see it. However, CG can just about charm anyone into doing anything so it would not surprise me.
