Players leave in the new landscape. It’s how Georgia and the other programs recruit. You bring in 25. 8 will exceed expectations, 7 meet expectations and the other 10 are encouraged to leave. Same cycle every year. Remember recruiting ranks in the end means very little it’s field production. However it is better to start with better recruits which Fran has shown he can recruit.
The new wrinkle is that players and their agents may over value their worth. I higher rated recruit may have gotten more to sign but did not perform to that value. Even though they underperformed they want the same money which the school says no. The player than leaves. We as fans get upset because we  see a high rated recruit leave but in reality the school and player made a business decision. The player goes to think they can make more money and the school invests their money in a player they think is a better value. Time will tell who made the better business decision.
Fran would like to develop the players but he is not going to make a bad business decision if he can avoid it. Sometimes he will be right (Pena, etc) and sometimes he will be wrong (maybe Barnes). We just need him to be right more than he’s wrong.
He’ll get a mulligan on this season. The positive is that he is making changes. Coaching changes and moving some players on the free room up is the first changes. Now let’s see who we get in the portal before we decide next year is another development year. From what I see from Fran he does not see it that way.
