You bring up a good point and perfectly illustrate why UGA's failure to land elite WR's is holding UGA back. Or held UGA back in the '23 SECCG. Literally.
I said it after the 1st week of CFB in '23. "DB's were very handsy and the ref's were letting them get away with it". AL's are the handsy-est. And they get away with it. Which makes it even more important that you have WR's that can get separation. "Low ranked" Ladd McC has the quickness to get separation. He has a real knack for it.
For years AL has been recruiting smaller faster/quicker WR's (with great success) while UGA focused on bigger more physical WR's(blocking). You are now seeing UGA making the adjustment to smaller faster/quicker WR's . Smith, McConkey, Speer, Haynes, Evans, White, Tuggle.
The limitations UGA suffers in WR recruiting is a problem. Especially when UGA does not have a generational level D to keep opponents scoring down. Is it the WR coach? Overall recruiting? Perception of UGA as "run 1st O"? Platooning WR's?
Ultimately UGA brings in the kind of people/players that fit the uniqueness of the UGA program. Elite WR's tend to be divas that would not fit in in the UGA culture.
It is also premature to rank recruiting classes #1 (UGA), #2 (OSU) and #3 (AL) until Feb NSD and all the TP players are recruited.
Another nugget to think about. If UGA wins the SECCG in '23 the SEC gets 1 team in the playoffs. If AL wins the SEC can possibly (shoulda?) get 2 ($$$) teams in the playoffs. That is a lot of incentive to direct conference ref's to not even review a circus catch on 4th down.
Not a bad retort. I agree with much of it but not the below

Once again I don't think this is a correct representation of the situation. Alabama gets lots of diva wrs that still fit into their culture. So what is the difference between Alabama and Georgia's culture that allows all these wrs to go to Alabama?
Nothing...it is a moot argument. Completely made up worthless to say argument.
The argument last year was we didn't pass it enough. That argument is gone now. So lo and behold we hear this drivel.
Why does everybody else ranking the recruiting classes keep saying we signed 4 5 stars and Conner keeps saying we signed 3? Just wondering.
Seems like most of the highlights of Raiola involved Bolden catching a contestable ball and then blasting into the end zone. Great athlete. But he's even better as DB.
Maybe somebody dropped from five to four in one of the rating services. Currently, none of the sites give five stars to anyone in the UGA classe outside Robinson, Williams and Bolden.
Meant to post this ON3 link, which shows their ratings for the entire UGA class along with the other three major rating services:
