That's a wild take considering Georgia just signed the number one class in the country, again. Landing a single four-star like Prothro doesn't change the fact that Kirby Smart's entire model is built on elite recruiting. Their average player rating is 93.50, which is the highest in the nation. You don't win back-to-back national titles and consistently make the playoff with just "guys who want to be developed." You win with five-star depth. Oregon's class is a direct threat because it proves other programs can now compete at that elite recruiting level, which pressures everyone. Georgia's success is the blueprint: dominate the recruiting rankings, then develop. Saying flashy hauls don't sustain a program ignores that Georgia's "flashy haul" has been an annual event for half a decade now. Their sustained success is LITERALLY built on top-five classes. Development is crucial, but it starts with superior talent lmao. Oregon raising the bar forces everyone, including Georgia, to recruit even harder. Dismissing that as just hype is a coping mechanism for when the Bulldogs aren't the only team loading up on five-stars.
