With both the early and traditional signing periods behind him, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart was able to reflect on the potential benefits and drawbacks of the new recruiting system coaches are now forced to partake in.
Smart noted there will probably be differing opinions on the new recruiting format. But Georgia, despite having to prepare for a Rose Bowl during the early signing period, was able to exceed expectations with who it signed over a three-day window in late December.
Therefore, from Smart's viewpoint, the new national early signing period is something Georgia can potentially use to its benefit moving forward.
