Okay, so, now that we're outta the dead period ...
Georgia has announce that they received two commitment to transfer in, two 5 Star prospects.
Sr. Derion Kendrick: Transferring from Clemson to Athens
Fr. Arik Gilbert: (originally from Marietta, Ga) Transferring from LSU to Athens
Derion Kendrick was recruited to Clemson as a Wide Receiver, but would alternate snaps, playing more as a Cornrer Back. He even had his moments on special teams, as the return man. And last season was graded as a 1rst Team All ACC player.
Arik Gilbert was the highest ever ranked Tight End in the ranking era. And the only Tight End to win the Gatorade National Player of the Year --- This had 1,800 yards receiving in one season at the Tight End position. Just, unheard of --- He played as a true freshman at LSU in the 2020 season, and with the NCAA ruling an inert eligibility year, due to uncontrollable circumstances, maintains a Freshmen status.
16 --- 5 Star Players
51 --- 4 Star players
67 of 86 Scholarship players were Blue Chip recruits.
Let me put some numbers into perspective, here.
Alabama, since 2008, has had 41 draft eligible 5 Star players [that's 41 who stayed in Tuscaloosa until drafted into the nfl]
Georgia has more than a 3rd of that number on their current roster.
They have the deepest pool of talent in the country. It's gotta this year or bust for Georgia, you'd think.
Even if they don't win the National Title, it feels as though; if you can't at least get to the dance now, then when?
