is assess the value of NIL to the player at the beginning stages and cut bait with many players immediately if there is a sense they will be a Nwaneri, Bolden, Thomas, Nolan, Stewart et al type. All players I believe we would've landed in '19 btw.
It may end up where we focus on many of the in-state kids like the Jaiden Patterson, Noah Dixon, Trajen Greco, Isaiah Canion, Jalyn Crawford, Hevin Brown-Shuler, Ricardo Jones types out of the gate and scramble less to fill some needs in the end, earlier before schools like Clemson snatch them.
I know we don't focus on the state of Georgia as much as we used to, but it's worth noting that Georgia has 58 composite 4 stars. UGA will only sign 7% of said players this cycle. I also think it's also possible a lower percentage of local kids would portal out overnight.
I understand it's probably easier said than done because people change and relationships are fluid. I also know that human nature will make it impossible to not focus on unicorns, but I just get the feeling that less time is going to be wasted on players who really enjoy their Instagram accounts.
