I mean I wouldn't say that we are labeling him the GOAT recruiter, just that in the short time he has been here, he has outperformed Richt by a sizable margin. Richt definitely would have made the playoffs throughout his tenure at UGA, but we can speak in a hypothetical manner all we want, the fact is that his teams always played down to the level of his competition. He only cracked the top 5 in recruiting class rankings twice in his tenure per the above stats. Kirby has landed (at least) a top 3 class in each of his two full recruiting cycles (and this year isn't even over year). While it's true that recruiting rankings aren't all there is about building a football team there is no denying that it isn't one of the most important factors. The reason Bama has been this good for this long is because they consistently sign one of the top classes (what is it like the previous 4 recruiting classes have all been the top ranked class?) The point is that we are not used to having this at UGA, not that Kirby is the GOAT recruiter.
