So, a lot of folks are freaking out that it appears Clemson is going to secure Breese and Murphy, two stud DL that we have been after, both 5 stars and especially with Murphy, and in state kid that is a legacy-believe his Mom is a UGA alum.
I got to thinking about this, we can't currently match Clemson success of producing DL, and also they have won two titles but what we do have going for us is our OL. I am sure this is mentioned during our recruitment of DL, but come to UGA and you are going against one of the top 2-3 OL in the country EVERY DAY in practice-to me that is a huge selling point to DL that want to play in the NFL-work against an OL that potentially every player on it will play on the next level. I don't think Clemson's OL comes close to ours, and Kirby has a track record of having DL prepared for the next level-he might not coach DL but he knows what it takes. Maybe let Sam Pittman start helping with the recruitment of DL as well. He certainly knows how to recruit OL, maybe he can likewise help Tray Scott with recruitment of DL-and I will add, Scott had a pretty good year last year with DL recruits, and I think his development of Jordan Davis (a 3 star recruit) is a selling point. Just wanted to throw that out there. Sure Clemson can boast of having all these guys going to the league from their DL, but we have a lot to sell ourselves.
