GEORGIA'S UNAPOLOGETIC APPROACH

"Georgia’s quarterback recruiting approach is downright gluttonous. There’s a small minority of schools that are able to occasionally attract a five-star quarterback at all. Georgia is out here doing it virtually every year. Even more remarkable is Georgia’s ability to attract quarterback talent with an uncertain or unlikely path to playing time.

By now, we all know the story. Jacob Eason: five-star quarterback, true freshman starter is trailed by Jake Fromm, No. 2 ranked pro-style quarterback who makes like Wally Pipps and usurps Eason as a frosh en route to a national championship appearance. Eason transfers and Fromm is remarkably followed by Justin Fields, the highest-ranked player of the bunch — who believed he was going to take the QB job from Fromm. When Fromm holds off Fields, the former No. 2 player in the country heads to Ohio State to be a Heisman finalist as a first-year starter.

The approach demands an appetite for tough decisions and roster volatility. As we’re finding out this year, it also demands competency navigating the transfer market. Once again Georgia has aced that recruiting test. In Jamie Newman from Wake Forest and JT Daniels from USC, Kirby Smart landed arguably the two most coveted transfer quarterbacks in the country.

If you’ve got the stomach for it, the Georgia approach is great. Get as many elite quarterbacks as you can and let the chips fall. Not many have the ability to implement it, even fewer have the stomach."

Honestly as a QB recruit this would speak volumes that they care more about themselves and their own program than me as a recruit and they're willing to risk my future for their own benefit instead of developing and benefiting me as they promised. They want a recruits commitment while they're too selfish to give one themselves. But that's just my 2 cents.
