Georgia football has kicked it up a notch on the recruiting trail as the 2023 class is genuinely starting to form into another top-ranked class.
Some reports and opinions of other recruiting writers suggest that Georgia wouldn’t even have a top-10 class, but they forget that the Dawgs are closers and who head coach Kirby Smart is.
Anyone who thinks Georgia won’t close with at least a top-5 recruiting class must remind themselves who the Dawgs are. The minimum standard is top-5, but the expectation is top-3 and even No.1.
Georgia football will have another top-ranked class for the 2023 recruiting cycle.
However, the Dawgs have proved that consistency rebuilds programs at elite levels, so why would this cycle be any different? Is it because Georgia only has nine pledges in the middle of June? So what?
Previous recruiting cycles looked like this before, and Georgia finished quite well in those years.
What happened to trusting the process? By now, all college reporters should know Georgia gives just as much on the recruiting front as they do on the football field.
These reporters suggesting that Georgia won’t finish well in the 2023 class are not Dawg reporters, which explains some of this odd opinion. However, let them have that opinion. It gives Georgia a bigger chip on its shoulder to continue building a dynasty that lasts.
The past two weekends for the Dawgs have been enormous recruiting weekends, including No.1 overall ranked quarterback Arch Manning visiting to start June with a bang.
Last weekend the big defensive linemen and a few other top recruits were in town, resulting in even more buzz. Right now, Georgia may not have a ton of recruits, but the buzz and discussion are about the Dawgs because they are moving the needle.
Plus the Dawgs just added a flip from Penn State in offensive guard Joshua Miller, so Georgia is right on track.
They don’t need large NIL deals or anything like that — winning a national championship and sending 15 into the NFL last year is a big pull. Georgia already recruits the right way, but now they have even more ammo, and why wouldn’t kids want to play for the Dawgs.
However, we’ve said this before, Georgia will go after the high-character kids and not worry about the rankings. If the Dawgs believe a certain kid will be a solid addition, Georgia fans must trust that. No one cares what other fanbases and reporters think anymore. Smart’s process works, and now we must continue trusting that process and seeing the Dawgs build something incredible.
