Maybe they think our NIL + pending move to SEC will make us more attractive than usual to Georgia kids.

Davis and Choice have a ton of connections there - no reason not to cast the net at this stage. Maybe a guy will have a connection like Zion Ferguson with Poona and schedule a visit.

Aaron Bryant felt like a "why bother?" offer last year, too.

The state of Texas is shallow this year as well. 

Disagree completely. Guys like Jaydon Chatman, Deldrick Mason, and Jaden Platt are barely in the top 50. The class has plenty of talent in state - the bigger issue is that most of the top talent isn’t that interested in Texas right now. That’s the impact of the 1-6 finish.

At the very least, IT is selling that Texas is shallow.

You can look at it as a 1-6 finish if you want but it was also a 1-0 finish which was huge for momentum in December. Absolutely huge. Hard to overstate. 

Resulted in a few big time flips and great portal success.

Good grief. We're not even out of January and people are already talking about having a shit class. Fuck aggy. Kids will transfer. Seven loss Steve has one recruiting class under his belt that he recruited. I hated the hire and still do, but fuuuuuuuck, we gotta give the guy time to get recruits for the next coach in 2 years. Got damn, give him time. NIL will change shit, calm down. Yes, our defense fucking sucked, but at least Fat Gare can do something while he's here, even if PK has the official title (assuming that's why they hired him, to help with our D. I don't know, just hope). We have 2 new bad motherfuckers in Choice and Marion, and that will fucking pay huge dividends. There is an entire off-season and season to chip away at recruits. Recruiting has always had kids who take under the table, that's not new. Not all elite recruits will do that, and we'll get our share from NIL alone.
