Georgia football podcast: UGA’s historic 2021 defense appears to be influencing top recruits

Beginning of the show: Georgia had arguably one of the best defenses in history in 2021, but the Bulldogs’ accomplishments last season could pave the way for even more future success if the current recruiting momentum continues.

I’ll discuss on today’s show why UGA’s defensive recruiting efforts have rarely been better than right now in the immediate aftermath of last year’s national championship -- including a high-profile de-commitment from Michigan that could eventually lead to more good news for the Bulldogs.

15-minute mark: I share audio from former Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt’s interview from On the Beat on Monday discussing what’s next for the Bulldogs after last year’s championship season.

20-minute mark: DawgNation’s Mike Griffith joins the show.

40-minute mark: I take a look at other SEC headlines including some news on a five-star UGA target as well as a four-star defensive back who has finalized plans for a commitment announcement.

45-minute mark: I share some thoughts on some former UGA stars in consideration for the inaugural class of the Georgia High School Football Hall of Fame.

End of show: I award a Golden Shoe winner and share the Gator Hater Updater and the Gator Hater Countdown.

After the show: I take questions and comments as part of the Podcast Cool Down.
