If Golden or Radio signed kids like this and Martin they would be skewered by this board for getting sloppy seconds.

At least call it the same way every time folks.

For a coach that supposedly is going to do better here b/c of an upgrade in talent from UGA, he isn't landed upgraded talent.

Bad comparison. Richt only had a month or so to recruit.
 
Tre Johnson will more than likely be one of the better OL's here in 2-3 years.

2 totally different issues. When you have 1 month to fill a class you do your best to bring in the best bodies you can - and in this case Martin had already been recruited by Kool at an Mizzou and Johnson had a handful of decent offers. The issue with Golden and crew was their evaluations of guys early in the process (in their camps especially) that turned out to be total wastes of space.

Also some of their last minute "fill the class" guys actually worked out decently (most recently Redwine, Joe Brown, Corn Elder, and in even in their first class Olsen Pierre, Dallas Crawford). Sometimes it didn't work out (Jawand Blue, maybe Knowles last year) but their big issues weren't the guys they took to fill the class at the last minute, it was the guys they evaluated and locked up early at their camps and totally missed on.

Also player developements minimal at best

The big difference between Golden/Radio and Richt is summed up in two words: Track record. If you are too blind to see it we con't help you.

Track record of badly underperforming you mean, with more talent than the class he's bringing in.

I'll make it easy for you Golden Assitant coaches vs Richt Assitant coaches
 
He's extremely raw but at least he's a 6'8 300 pound raw prospect, not a 6'2 fat slob like Joe brown.

You just couldn't help but trash a 20 year old kid. Meanwhile you're ripped I'm sure.

Did I say something that wasn't true?

And I am ripped, thanks for asking.

Another PoRster with poor reading comprehension skills. What a surprise.
 
You can't teach size and athletisism. Good take. Not every kid is going to be a star from day one, especially on the line.

Big difference between this kid and Martin. The OL has depth and experience (but maybe not talent) so adding OL wasn't critical this year. If Richt was going to sign any OL in this class apart from a top guy, I'd rather he sign a kid with elite size. I would have had the same reaction if Golden signed Johnson -- wow, huge kid, who knows, welcome aboard.
