<blockquote><p><strong id="yui_3_9_1_13_1380103852139_500">Georgia (5)</strong><br />
How the Bulldogs were built: Nobody in the Top Ten is more homegrown.<br />
Star average: 3.64. Two five-stars, 13 four-stars, six three-stars, one unrated.<br />
Percent of starters from in-state: 77.3<br />
Percent of starters from in-state or adjoining states: 90.9<br />
Of note: The Bulldogs’ spectacular offense starts six three-star prospects, while its leaky defense starts just one player who was not a four-star or five-star recruit.</p></blockquote>
<p>His note&#8217;s a little unfair, given the wide disparity in experience between Georgia&#8217;s two units.  And I doubt you&#8217;ll ever see a four-star prospect at fullback.  But it&#8217;s also a compliment to Coach Ball.</p>
<p>By the way, can we stop with the &#8220;why can&#8217;t Richt keep the home state talent home?&#8221; talk now?</p>
