UGA history
Recruiting the state
Metro Atlanta produces an extraordinary volume of Division I talent, and every major program in the country recruits it. For Georgia the task has never been finding players but keeping the best of them home against SEC rivals who are in the same schools every week.
The modern program has converted that into sustained national contention, and Kirby Smart is grouped among the sport's established coaches alongside Dan Lanning and Steve Sarkisian.
