Georgia already has more 5-star recruits in its 2018 than any program in America.
And apparently the Dawgs are doing whatever it takes to repeat that in 2019.
Five-star Alabama commit Pierce Quick learned about that when he was greeted with a whopping 22 birthday cards. He shared a picture of the cards, which all appear to have different messages on them:
Thanks to UGA for all 22 birthday wishes today!!! #GODOGS #NEWBREED pic.twitter.com/Q7PfMJjugM

Quick is the No. 4 offensive tackle and the No. 23 player overall in the 2019 class. The 6-5, 285-pound Trussville, Alabama native is ranked the No. 2 recruit in the state.
It’ll probably take a lot more than birthday cards to flip Quick, though. He’s been verbally committed to Alabama for 10 months having taken several unofficial visits to Tuscaloosa.
But Georgia has developed a habit for flipping 5-star talent. Doing so at Alabama’s expense would only add to the belief the the Dawgs have narrowed the gap between the national champs.
