    The coaches will hold a "Junior Day" in March and another this summer. It's a year-round process, and as Georgia recruits are proving, commitments can come in any month.

    "Winning solves a lot of problems," Garner said. "We live in a microwave society where everybody wants everything instantly. Right now, Georgia seems to be a hot team that kids are really interested in. They see our kids right now having a lot of fun with the blackout and what happened down in Florida.

    "We're realizing some dividends from what happened this season."

    Georgia has a very nice recruiting class Tailback.

    So you don't need Sanders, leave him for the Gators! :twisted: :twisted:

    Do you know if any of your recruits could have problems qualifying? At this point the Gators have one, running back Franklin Green, who looks like he may not qualify.

    Tailback what do you think of Omar Hunter the DT from Buford? Looks like he'll go to UF.

    Honestly guys I hardly keep up with recruiting. I'll se what I can find out about the kid from Buford. I'm a believer in coaching kids up. This recruiting stuff hardly ever pans out.

    Your point is well taken Tailback, but I think over time it has pretty well proven out that the higher ranked prospects on average do better than the lower ranked ones.

    There are of course exceptions both ways but on balance taking the higher star recruits pays off.

    Anyway Georgia has done very well on the recruiting front since Richt has been there and Georgia has been a consistent winner since he's been there.
