Let's not get too caught up in the recruiting rankings. This class will have an average rank of 13-16 in the country. What's the problem. The fact is that UGA has had consistent top ten classes for the past several years and production has steadily decreased. What DawgNation should be looking for is a change in attitude. The players are in place. Hopefully, the key ingredient - coaching - is now on campus. If the new coaches produce the results that they should next fall, results will be far greater than any recruit could have brought. If the coaching staff performs in 2010, recruits will line up in 2011.

By the way, who is going to be the final coaching hire?
