Every year, dozens of people are shipped off to mime school, never to be heard from again.

lol

Boo is a top ten player on this team. And who do we have that gives us such great depth at star and DB? McCoy is still recovering. We have depth in some areas but we lack it at DB and WR. He is very much needed.

did Thomas and Gibson ever sign with anyone out of the portal ?

 

[LaagerVol]

Agreed, but it took pro football half a century too.

Most pro leagues take time to make money. WNBA is just now hitting its stride. Needed some juice, now they got it.

football is like, fun to watch tho

Tune in to the podcast! $10-$20 mil more per guaranteed.

5 years/$225 with around $200 guaranteed...looks about right...

Jordan Thomas won’t play. I wish he could. But he isn’t. Elijah is gone. Caleb is still here and our rushers will be very good. Only thing on defense that is a worry is depth at Inside DL and depth at DB. But starters are very stout

Thomas medically retired didn’t he?

I was making fun of the guy because everything he said was wrong

I’ve been building this BCR chart for a few years now, and was able to correctly predict we’d cross 50% this year based on how last year’s class finished. With the new BCR numbers released yesterday, I’ve projected 2026 to hit around 59%.

I originally pulled the data using Python from the 247 Composite rankings going back to 2005, by adjusting the year in the URL (https://247sports.com/season/2025-football/compositeteamrankings/).

For each class, I counted the 4- and 5-star commits, then used a 4-year weighted average with typical roster turnover rates to estimate roster BCR.

I also scaled the numbers to match official BCR figures where available (2020, 2021, 2024, 2025).

Be cautious with anything before 2010 since the data gets a little fuzzy, but the trend since then is accurate.

TLDR: CJH is doing a damn good job recruiting, and right now it’s very likely the highest BCR we’ve had since the early 2000s.

Good stuff!

You should check out CollegeFootballData.com if you are looking for more data at any point. They have loads of free data and some interesting blog posts on CFB data. I know they have data on recruiting but not sure how deep it gets into the ratings of individual players or more geared towards class rankings from a high level. They also have support for multiple languages through their libraries/sdks they’ve developed. I use their python library and it’s simple to get whatever data I want that they have. The charts builder that they have built into the website is also fun for anyone to play with for more simple analysis.

I like our depth at interior d-line. We trot out a 5 star freshman in our 3rd rotation. And if it gets really bad I can see Tyre West sliding inside, and he would be very good there

I'm way behind. What's going on with Boo?

I've never seen a kid pick a more perfect school for them. This guy nailed it.

He's got a boo boo.

 

[LaagerVol]

He chose the right school

It's very interesting to see how the different schools allot revenue sharing. Kentucky is giving nearly half to basketball and Clemson is giving one of the lowest amounts to basketball.

it weirds me out that 19-21 Ozzy looks like a better looking version of Corey Feldman.

What are our numbers, or have they been released?

I'm not sure I've seen any official word on how they are distributing it yet.

Inside look at UGA recruiting meetings:

Recruiting Coordinator: “Okay, it’s time to start laying the ground work on John Smith. He’s set to be the number 1 player in the country next year.”

Kirby: “Hey Billy, fire up the reckless driving database on John Smith. Has he had any driving citations or speeding tickets? What did his coaches and teammates say about his driving?”

Billy: “No, hes a great kid, never been in trouble behind the wheel before. Coach said he’s a good driver and teammates actually say they prefer him to drive because he’s such a good driver. ”

Kirby: “Meh”

Recruiting Coordinator: “Meh? He’s the #1 player in the nation.”

Kirby: “yeah, but he’s a 1 star in the reckless driving database. Not even a speeding ticket? Not on my team. Next.”
