You say that but compared to the instate schools at similar states - Florida, Texas, etc - we are much better. You can never get every kid in a state as hotly recruited as Georgia is, but do you want to compare our record with the top ten kids in this state with those states, much less UNC and South Carolina?
I've seen you post that stuff before and wondered where you got your info. You posted that we "notoriously" don't recruit So Georgia well - we've dominated the top So Georgia prospects the last 5-6 years.
Recruiting has never been our problem - we are top ten almost every year and it's largely because we control our state about as much as anyone can. We need to take that next step on the field of course because even with 9-10 win seasons almost every year it's tough when you go 10 years without a conference title much less a million without a national title.
You simply can't be familiar with Atlanta if you say "no one is from Georgia" - that's ridiculous. It's not Lower Manhatten but more like Charlotte - yes its transient but overwhelmingly made up of people from the state. Most kids are in fact from Georgia and more are Georgia fans as opposed to any other school by a long shot. Not close.
Do some homework - go back 5 years and look at the Georgia top 20 and see where those 100 went. Tell me if its "wide open" or if UGA seems to have a big big edge.
