Well when you have classes that are 90% 5* and 4* guys guess what?
15~5* guys and 5~4* guys make up 80% of those picks
And they're well-developed
Kirby Smart has done a fine job of developing those 4 and 5 star players.
Our staff under the previous coach didn't quite do a good job of it.
Well they stay 4-5 years but ours leave after 1-2 is the difference...
I mean Clausen, Floyd, Tate, Jaylon Smith, Tuitt, Te'o, Nelson, Hamilton and Mayer ALL played up to 4-5* ability but they all stayed at least 3 years🤷🤷
Who left after 1-2?

Neal, Kiel, Evans, Lynch, Bryant, Johnson, Kollie and Jurkovec (5* before Final rankings),

High school football in the South is EVERYTHING!
The rest of the country offers a more varied social focus.
Do you line in the South Curley?
So east bumfuck Ohio, or Pennsylvania, or Indiana or Michigan offers a more varied social life? Wow.
The number of OR high school football players down about 20% in a decade...
Long Beach, CA has several public high schools that don't have football coaches who are teachers, meaning they can't make a living coaching, can't develop players, create a booster club that solicits money for weight room renovations, none of the things the best high school programs have as a matter of course. Football just isn't that important for a growing number of West Coast communities...
True for most part, but Basketball is just as huge in alot of southern states
