D's right. That school ain't winning **** that matters. Underachievers and Richt is garbage.
Let's be honest here - the #1 thing for kids committing is not the coach, it's not the winning%, it's not graduation rate. It's comfort level.
Whether it's b/c their GF goes there, their homies, some assistant coach is friends of the family, whatever. Point is comfort level with a school is impossible to predict. Some kids magically click with schools on their visit - not b/c all of a sudden Richt became a better sales man or UGA is now kings of the SEC. That stuff is a bunch of red herrings. Not hard to see what happened here - kid went up there and fell in love with the school and Athens. I've never been there but something on those visits to Athens stirred Sony in a way that just clicked for him,
