Impossible. @The U is back to work told me that Mario has only had one elite recruiting class since he’s been here

So to confirm this was your expectation when we paid Mario $80m?

Composite
2022 - 16
2023 - 7
2024 - 4
2025 - 14
2026* - 11

With what has been universally called a top NIL program and a coach who obviously offers ZERO on the field in terms of an on field coaching advantage.

You have to include the portal, which coupled with NIL make conditions different for an elite HS recruiter like Mario.

Transfer:
2022: 12
2023: 7
2024: 10
2025: 3

Did you know Mario is no longer even in the Top 20 at $8M a year? And as for our NIL, I've heard we're Top 10-15, not Top 5. Are you including portal in your grades above? At worst it's a wash. IMO, we have Top 10 talent, just need a better OC or offensive scheme and play-calling.

Much more accurate. Can anyone really say we're not talented enough to be a playoff team? The talent is there. It's the abysmal schemes and play-calling on the offense. If we go 10-2, we're have to live with it and hope Dawson evolves. Otherwise, replace Dawson with an OC that truly controls his side of the ball (hand off Mario and Mirabal go find another job).

NIL also changes how you go all in on players.

Even Texas, which in a single year has the resources to go all in on every position every year, can't do it year after year. Once you offer a running back or a wide receiver $4M to come (which UT can do), you've just set the floor for future recruits. Very quickly your spending can get out of hand and potentially approach NFL levels.

Just looking at rankings no, but I’m pretty sure the 22 & 23 classes ended being a disaster.

I mean we need a top Safety… if UGA landed him and we were able to Flip Fitzpatrick… I’d definitely consider that a W

Must land a top S and top EDGE.

LB recruiting is no man’s land… Kellen Wiley and Bobby Washington NEED to step the **** up next year

Well he’s better than Fitzpatrick so that would be a W for UGA not for us lol
