Georgia Bulldogs pull off shocking recruiting flip, land five-star prospect over Texas A&M and Miami
This felt like the most obvious Miami flip in recent recruiting history, yet Kirby was somehow able to waltz into Cristobal's backyard and take a five-star prospect at a position that the Canes head coach specializes in developing.
Key points
- Guys like Wiltfong rarely get these types of things wrong, as all signs pointed to the Canes adding another five-star to their already historic recruiting class.
- Experts are still trying to figure out how the Dawgs were able to pull this one off, but this should be a lesson to never count Kirby out of any recruiting race.

- Talent acquisition is a 24/7/365 business, and this latest recruiting cycle is reaching its climactic end, with early signing day a little less than a month from today.
