UGA has been eyeing Smart for years so it should come as no surprise that they are going to grab him up immediately. With Bama losing their DC, the first and last guy they will contact about the position will be Pruitt.

I think the Smart hiring is really going to set UGA back both with this year's recruiting class and for a few years on the ford.
 
Not really. Smart is an unknown commodity as a HC. He may be great, but he could fall flat on his face. Muschamp is a good hire as DC. However, this is probably the best possible scenario for Tennessee, since Smart isn't proven. Georgia could have attracted a huge name and made a splash hire. They will make a little splatter with this hire.

I hope your right, bit if they don't work out I'm guessing uga will be loaded bc of their recruiting.

They have been loaded for years. Nothing new will happen there, and if anything, it may work against them for a year or 2. Smart has an unknown commodity to sell. He could be the next Saban, but is much more likely to be the next Muschamp or a little better. No one knows, because he's never been the head man. Butch can recruit against that all day for the next couple years, while he shows how his program continues to rise to the top.
 
Muschamp is a freakin ticking time bomb but he can recruit some guys on D. It may hurt us with these GA guys, particularly defensive guys. Brown got a crystal ball this morning to Auburn. If Muschamp follows Smart it could hurt us with him.
 
I know OV is the man with the GA info but rumors are flying that they have agreed to a deal with Tom Herman too. This is going to be a fun few days.
 
And to add to that, I wonder why he was in church. I thought he would still be on his ov to Michigan.

Pruitt went to church with Mecole's mom...didn't say Mecole was there. Recruiting is a dirty, dirty game. Probably selling her on where his next job will be.

True. But why wouldn't his mom go with him on an official visit? It seems like michigan woukd want her to come along

I wouldn't pay much attention to CB's the day of a major coaching change. It's not anything more than the guesswork that we're doing here.

Because he is visiting those schools for fun only. Probably went up there with some of his friends. He is not going to Michigan. I still feel like this will be a Tennessee – Georgia battle, and maybe we have the upper hand now.

OV, how much does the Richt firing help us with Mecole?
 
Kirby Smart to UGA sounds legit...as soon as I heard Richt was fired Kirby Smart was the 1st guy who came to mind as his replacement...and its a good hire if Smart brings in some big name coordinators. People want Smart to be the next Muschamp...but I think the reality is he is much hotter commodity than Muschamp was. And he has been for several years now. All it took was the right job opening...

A twitter account with hardly any followers is the only source reporting that.

No way it hurts us, that's for sure. Our chances have to have improved.
 
Worst case scenario is Smart takes the UGA job, Saban stays at Alabama and hires Pruitt as DC, and Mecole follows Pruitt. If that doesn't happen I feel pretty good about getting Mecole.
