The Georgia Bulldogs finished second only to the Texas Longhorns with four 5-star recruits in this year’s class. However, they welcome 19 4-star recruits compared to Texas’ 13.
The days of Georgia completely wiping the floor with the rest of college football in recruiting are probably in the rearview mirror. NIL has undoubtedly evened the playing field; however, the idea that Kirby Smart and the rest of the SEC are going to take a massive step back is completely overblown.
On top of a healthy NIL budget, Smart can offer something no other coach can replicate — a reputation for developing talent and sending guys to the NFL at an alarming rate. No program prepares kids for the next level like the Georgia Bulldogs, and the Philadelphia Eagles, who will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl next week, are the perfect example.
Even though the narrative today is that the SEC is no longer the class of college football, the reality is they still recruit and develop better talent across the board. The top three classes in this year’s recruiting cycle come from the Southeastern Conference, as well as seven of the top ten.
