I wonder if Kirby Smart learned a thing or two about recruiting from his old boss, Nick Saban? Either way, Smart and his staff put in work for their first full Signing Day class at the University of Georgia and it payed off. While Smart and his staff had a top 10 class last year, this class this year was put together with the full staffs effort for the entire cycle and landed Georgia the third ranked class behind only Alabama and Ohio State.

Georgia signed a well balanced class, landing a total of 20 five and four-star players (which is insane) highlighted by the nations second best running back, Richard Leconte III, and the nations fifth best offensive tackle, Isisah Wilson (both five-stars). Couple this class with last years top 10 class that included Jacob Eason, Issac Nauta and a plethora of other talented players, and you have the makings of a well put together team that will begin challenging for the SEC championship for years to come.
