Recency bias is a heckuva drug. You could be forgiven as a Georgia Bulldog fan if your National Signing Day was somewhere between boring and disappointing. In fact Georgia didn’t pick up a single new public commit until almost 5:00 pm when five star edge rusher Marvin Jones, Jr. picked the Bulldogs over Alabama and Texas A&M.
It felt more like a Mark Richt signing day than a Kirby Smart signing day. 18 of Georgia’s 27 current commitments had their paperwork in by 11:00 am. Three more won’t actually sign until February. There simply wasn’t the excitement, the tidal wave of momentum we’ve come to expect over the past five years.
