Statick Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Ethan you can take anything away from me you would like.....but you will NEVER take away my pride and love of UGA.GATA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotty Ice Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 If only that were true.I was going to comment on that too, but I see that the Negasaurus Rex's are out in full force in this thread and my e-rep is too important to me to waste it on making snide remarks about UGA. But yeah, a lot of people come into Georgia due to the lack of an abundance of talent in the surrounding states outside of Florida. Not a huge amount of talent in South Carolina, Tennessee, North Carolina, or even Alabama really although AL has considerably more talent than the aforementioned states.

We have an abundance of instate talent, great facilities, a ton of money, and great tradition. That is why the past 2 years are at all acceptable in athens and why you see so much heat on this staff.

Volunteer Falcon Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Pretty good list, Tennessee is definitely a top 20 job and would probably be higher if we had solid prospects in the state. For being in the south, Tennessee just doesn't produce as much top notch talent as you would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, I think you guys can still recruit enough players. Just seeing the history of the program it's certainly been done before. And every program faces some hurdle. Honestly I think too much blame is being put on one thing. No disrespect intended to a fellow SEC member, and btw I debate stuff like this with some gator friends as well (go figure).

No disrespect intended to a fellow SEC member, and btw I debate stuff like this with some gator friends as well (go figure).Tennessee has never really had a big program bringing in players from outside the state, it's just rough when you basically have to go outside the state to pull in high quality talent that you can't get locally. I would definitely say a couple other reasons Tennessee is a little bit lower is due to the facilities and athletic department. While the facilities are nice, some are very out dated, but as soon as our new facility gets built it will be second to none. As far as the athletic department goes, we all know what that's been like the past few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South FL Dawg Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 No doubting what you say about the athletic dept. comings and goings. That's one of the things I was alluding to when I said too much blame is being put on having to recruit out of state. Junior Kiffin came in on his Trojan horse and sold everybody there on how he needed to create a stir to get the program noticed. But TN has had some great players from out of state.
