 More SEC signees from Georgia than any other state, by far

MrSEC.com has done some numbers-crunching that quantifies this state’s status as a football recruiting hotbed.
The website counted 65 recruits from Georgia who signed with SEC schools last week, including the 14 Georgians among UGA’s 19 signees. Every SEC school except Mississippi State signed players from Georgia.
No other state came close in terms of the number of players signing with SEC schools.  The next largest number was from the state of Florida: 46.  Then 37 from Mississippi and 36 from Alabama.
In all, SEC schools signed  305 players from 23 different states, MrSEC calculated, with 21.3 percent of the league’s total signees coming from Georgia. UGA signed players from only three states: Georgia (14), Florida (4) and South Carolina (1).
Go here for much more data on the topic. Interesting stuff.


Ol' rexy seems to think we have the fertile hunting grounds of Georgia all to ourselves and the cesspool.

 Them only accounting for SEC recruits is what makes Georgia look better than Florida in this count.

If you take the "SEC level" recruits that went to just FSU and Miami, I'm not so sure Florida wouldn't win this one.

Ol' rexy seems to think we have the fertile hunting grounds of Georgia all to ourselves and the cesspool.

All those "Elite BCS caliber" recruits that I speak of would LOVE to spend their college Careers at GT IN ATLANTA, but GT's stupid ass doesn't have Communications & Sociology & Political Science that would allow GT to attract MORE DECENT-LOOKING WOMEN, there are plenty of CFB Players that are both Elite AND can Graduate in Mgmt. or Econ., but GT's friggin' problem is that there aren't enough decent looking Women to entice them to come to GT to try and Graduate from GT.

Why would I major in Mgmt. or Econ at GT when I can go to Texas, USCw, or Florida and major in the same thing (it is not like GT's Mgmt or Econ Majors are any better than those-3 above) and have more HOT WOMEN to choose from?

The Reality is, is that most Elite CFB Players DO NOT want to major in Engineering (so in reality GT has no real advantage Academically for Recruits), so for purposes of Recruiting then GT's "Academics" should be compared using our Mgmt. & Econ. majors vs. other schools, and since that GAP is NOT that big (in eliteness) for Mgmt & Econ, then GT has no advantage academically for the "typical" (non Darryl Richard) CFB Player.

We COULD have it all to ourselves & UGAy, but GT does everything in the most UNINTELLIGENT MANNER that they can find, while still beating their chests about GT being "Academically Elite".

What a friggin' school!

What a friggin' school!


From a football's perspective I couldn't agree with you more.

From a School's perspective I completely disagree with you. GT isn't a football organization in the NFL. Its a SCHOOL! In schools, ACADEMICS come first.

So, seeing how GT is a school first, football program 2nd(maybe 3rd? or 4th?), I don't see anything dumb about it.

 South FL alone had 24-4 star recruits this year. To say GA has surpassed FL is wrong.

There are 18 mill in FL and 9 mill in GA.
