Today's episode of Dog Nation Daily is brought to you by Johnny O, the go-to apparel brand for dogs who take their style as seriously as their football.

Presented by Dog Nation.com. This is Dog Nation Daily, the daily podcast for Georgia Bulldogs fame.

Here's your host, Brandon Adams.

All right, coming up in just a couple of minutes,

I think there is maybe one very specific reason as shared by one of the big national outlets.

That probably explains as much as anything about why I am optimistic about Georgia this season at the

highest possible level of success and why I believe you should be too. We will get to all of that coming up in

just a couple of minutes. It is an example of how Georgia feels very much like the Georgia that

we've gotten used to and it's very best, all of that coming up in just a moment. Can we do some

recruiting stuff before we get there? I do believe that this past weekend, the one we just

enjoyed, was probably a pretty important one in giving some shape to what is going to be

Georgia's 2027 recruiting class. You know, Jeff Centell and I talk about this every Friday on Dog Nation

Daily,

and he'll do it on his own show with Kaylee Mansell before the Hedges, which airs on Wednesday

evening. And I think that we are still in early enough days of this cycle where I don't know that

we've quite seen the 27 class take shape yet.

And some people may attribute that, well, you know, it's just so different now with NIL and blah, blah, blah, blah.

To a certain extent that's true.

But there's also a lot of the very best recruiting classes from George in the before times that also maybe took a little while to fully take their shape.

So I don't know that I want to attribute fully everything that may be going on with Georgia in 2027 to just the NIL age alone.

I'm not going to pretend that it's not some factor in how we talk about this now.

Of course it is.
