One of Kirby Smart’s main talking points this season has been that despite the target painted on their backs as national champions, his team remains the hunters, not the hunted.
The Top ‘Dawg and his staff recruited that way for the 2023 cycle, signing 26 recruits from 12 different states. Along the way they filled roster needs not with developmental projects but with a squad of elite players talented enough to compete with the elite players already in Athens.
Overall the class remains ranked #2 in the nation behind Alabama’s haul, though the ‘Dawgs did close the gap with the Tide ever so slightly.
