Richt's recruiting policy is to go after players he knows will qualify, which means Georgia doesn't usually work to sign a guy who has junior college written all over him.
I also know that Richt has a strict rule against pulling scholarships from current players. Once you're a Bulldog, you're staying a Bulldog unless you decide on your own to leave or an injury forces you to stop playing. So if UGA only has 20 scholarships available for a specific recruiting class, Richt won't go out and sign 22 good players and then boot two unproductive ones off the current squad.
David Hale on Mark Richt. Remember that the next time a Georgia Tech fan makes a big deal about the signing of Lonnie Outlaw or Brian Cook offers an overly broad assault on SEC oversigning practices.
There's plenty of other good stuff in the article, too, so go read it if you haven't already.

thing is - its the right thing to do on so many levels
CMR builds his bank by knowing he has his guys. Thats huge! Can you imagine coaching a great player – but not knowing day to day what trouble he is in? I dont 100% agree with never yanking scholarships, but it seems he wants kids to not live in a fear based environment.
