If a Georgia Football fan has been on social media, they ve undoubtedly heard the taunts; especially from rival fan bases. Head coach Kirby Smart can recruit, but can t develop, and can t get the 4- and 5-stars he recruits to the NFL.
It s become almost a constant knock on the UGA program, rivaling the constant calls of 1980 from rival fans trying to poke fun at UGA.
Their chants completely ignore the numerous examples of underated Georgia players being developed and drafted. This includes players like Deandre Baker, Tae Crowder, Solomon Kindley, Mecole Hardman, Lamont Gaillard, and Charlie Woerner, just to name a few. These are players who spent most of their time under Smart, but Lorenzo Carter, Roquan Smith, Isaiah Wynn, Nick Chubb, and Sony Michel can also be added to the list.

Mykel Williams, a Georgia target for the 2022 recruiting cycle, has announced that he will no longer be committing Monday, March 15
th. Williams is one of the top defensive line prospects in his class and was down to ten schools: Clemson, Ohio State, Georgia, LSU, Penn State, USC, Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia Tech, and Arizona State.
He published a statement to his Twitter on Tuesday afternoon saying:
“After weighing my options and talking with my parents and coaches I have decided to push back my commitment date to a time I see fit ! ”
At 6-foot-5, Williams bends with the best of them. He has extremely loose hips and plays with excellent pad level. His fluidity in the open field when pursuing ball-carriers is unmatched in the state of Georgia considering his size and position.
Georgia s football team has a great shot at a national title run in 2021, and the athletics department has seemingly pushed all their chips in for this season.
