Re: Georgia football recruiting: How UGA wins talent without huge NIL deals
NIL has changed the dynamics of college football in recruiting and retention, but the bottom line is that identifying, recruiting, and retaining the right talent at the right position(s) remains the most important part of winning a CFP championship. Indiana just won a CFP national championship with a good but not better-than-the-teams-they-beat roster, except at one key position: QB. They identified, recruited, and paid a QB who was a force multiplier, and that position is the most important position on the field. That Indiana team was good, but if we looked at recruiting ranking and even draft status, they weren't more talented than Ohio St, Oregon, or Miami, but they did have the best QB. Coaches will have to be more discerning with whom they choose to play QB and make an investment in a force multiplier at that position. The days of building a great team around a game manager QB are gone when it comes to competing for a championship.

Re: Georgia football recruiting: How UGA wins talent without huge NIL deals
Major League Baseball has had this model forever and that is why the big spenders usually have the best teams. Not always, but usually. Look at the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers. Big money wins more often. Now the Braves are more like the current Georgia model that relies on a farm system of development and money. The Braves spend, but they don't spend the most.
We should continue to be competitive as long as we have Kirby and spend in the top 15.
Now when you look at salary cap sports like the NFL what works? The Patriots are a great example of paying a few players a lot to be the foundation and then supplementing with free agents and guys who you can get cheaper for whatever reason. Patriots did this with perfection for 15 years. Teams like the Cowboys who used to be able to spend more to make their teams great now cannot and that is why they haven't been winning super bowls.
Roster management is everything in the pros with salary cap.

Re: Dawgs Baseball Feeding the Trees
Thought the dawgs had more talent than anyone remaining, but it's true that good pitching beats good hitting. Still a fantastic year.

If you go after a lot of these five stars who are shopping for the highest dollar and not really wanting to be there, you’re risking losing them to the portal. Somebody else contacts their agent and steals them or they get disgruntled. If you have three and four stars who really want to be at Georgia, understand what it takes and are willing to put in the work, in three or four years you have a solid roster. Didn’t Indiana do well with older, more mature players without a lot of stars by their names?

Silly Season (AKA the college recruitment of high school athletes). Look at this board and these comments from all of these great Dawg fans. This troubles my soul. NIL has turned college football into an unknown and troubling endeavour. You wouldn't think that paying 17 and 18 year olds millions of dollars would cause any issues, Right?
