Watch: Kirby Smart explains his recruiting pitch to elite RBs

It’s no secret that the Georgia Bulldogs have the best running back corps in the nation.

With D’Andre Swift, James Cook, Brian Herrien and Zamir White, Kirby Smart has built up a program that guarantees that the Dawgs will have an elite player in the backfield at all times of the game.

So what is Kirby’s secret to recruiting such great players at the position? Smart explained what makes Georgia such a great fit for these elite players.

Thats to Bulldogs Game Day for the video.

“The number one thing that guys look for is will I get an opportunity, will I get to grow and develop,” said Smart. “Will they teach me a skillset that will allow me to play in the NFL. And that’s what we ask our backs to do.”

“We try to sell that number one you’re going to get a great education. Number two you’re going to get an opportunity to carry the ball. You’re going to have fresh tires when you come out because you’ll play with other good players…It’s a good combination to sell. ”

A good combination indeed.
