Georgia football podcast: Kirby Smart credits fans for UGA’s No. 1 class

Beginning of the show: Georgia finished the 2020 recruiting cycle with the nation’s No. 1 class for the second time in the last three seasons. Certainly UGA coach Kirby Smart’s tireless efforts helped lead to that success, but when Smart spoke to reporters Wednesday he also credited the fans for creating an atmosphere around the program that’s attractive for players. I’ll discuss more about what Smart said on National Signing Day on today’s show.
