WATCH: The big questions still facing Georgia after Arik Gilbert, Derion Kendrick additions
Georgia made two big additions to its roster this week in the form of Arik Gilbert and Derion Kendrick. They should help improve an already talented Georgia roster.

Connor, you guys are obviously running out of topics to cover if you have to now search hard to find weaknesses or explore lingering "Big questions" about the strength of this DAWGS team now. You're trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
We've got a plethora of 4 and 5 star offensive lineman and RBs...some with a lot of experience. If that's our biggest "issue" remaining then I'll gladly take it. No team will ever be perfect, but the 2021 DAWGS are shaping up to be the best team we've ever fielded under Kirby Smart.
On to the playoffs...
Connor, STOP biting your fingernails!!
@MontanaDawg My thoughts exactly. These guys keep rehashing the same topic. It was exciting news...4 days ago.
My only concern is that there isn't enough time for our newcomers to learn the system by season start. G Day was 3 weeks ago and the upcoming season is coming very quickly. Keep in mind that Gilbert is in the same class as the big guy Washington who enrolled 1 year ago today.
It's still a bit surreal, though.
Our 2020 class:
#4, #5, #11, #18, #23 - 2 of the Top 5, 5 of the Top 25.
In comparison: Bama has 3 in Top 25, Clemson 4, Ohio State has 2, #3 Oklahoma as 0 in Top 50, Florida has 1 in the Top 50.
Stop the panic. UGA is LOADED with talent, CKS has done a magnificent job of recruiting and using the portal. UGA is ready....on to the playoffs, yes.
My BIG concern is that Kirby is so demanding that his WRs block like O-linemen, Gilbert could wind up sitting this season, a la Demetris Robertson, or even worse, like 6-5 200lb Tommy Bush, a recent transfer out.
As far as CB, Kimber and Ringer just need reps. The new guys aren't freshmen - they will pick up the D, and we will have multiple choice at the position.
O-line. If we can't field five O-linemen who are great or near-great, fire the recruiter who got all of these 5-Stars and 4-Stars in here, and fire the O-line coach for not coaching them up.
Bottom line, if we start losing leads because Kirby is insistent about running the ball, and we lose 2 or more regular season games with this team, Titles just ain't gonna happen in Athens with Kirby and Co.
