I know Pete got you rustled but including Smith as someone lost is embarrassing. The only people looking at Smith as a loss are trolls and people who actually believed BrooklynDee who has been right about one thing and has used that to pretend to be an insider. You want to get into strength of closes so be it but Harley, Thomas, Herbert, Dean and maybe Henderson are 5 4-stars committing in less than a week which means 15 of the 26 commits would be 4-star recruits according to one service or another.
Harley is coming because he was dropped by WVU and he would be a Gator if he had an offer.
Dean is coming because he was dropped by Bama. He'd be there if he had a choice.
Getting Thomas and Hebert is big but it doesn't overshadow the fact that Richt lost McFarland, Henderson and Edwards and couldn't get Smith on campus for his OV.
What about Donaldson, Bandy, Dallas, DJ Johnson, NKosi, Amari Carter?
We're talking about the close.
DeeJay is a great get.
Donaldson been committed for years if you committed to Golden than keeping you a Cane is the easiest thing.
Bandy is one of those guys dying to be a Cane. Dude was begging for an offer. N'Kosi was also a Golden commit reeling him back in when he already had a lot of interest isn't that difficult.
This class is fine. If they don't close with five of these guys up in the air it's not anything taking the team to another level.
Recruiting up until the final month or so has been fine.
We were in good position to land a Top 10 class and Richt blew it down the stretch.
