Persistence is key in recruiting.
Head coach Kirby Smart is a great example of this, considering his approach to recruiting players. For instance, if a prospect has verbally committed elsewhere, that won’t deter Smart and his coaching staff from still recruiting him.
As a result, Georgia was able to flip Lee County safety Otis Reese, previously committed to Michigan, and Crisp County linebacker Quay Walker, previously pledged to Alabama, on National Signing Day last week. By doing so, it helped land the Bulldogs the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation.
While flipping a recruit might be exciting to Georgia fans, Smart said that’s not the kind of thrill his coaching staff is seeking.
