          Throughout the years, scores of big-time duos stood on the same stage at the Hargray Capitol Theatre and made those in the audience happy.

          Joining that legacy on Monday? A pair of coaches.

          Kirby Smart and Tom Crean took pictures with dozens of Georgia football and basketball fans as a line snaked through the historic venue, and then hopped on stage to talk about their programs, the Bulldogs in general, and the University of Georgia.

He can't wait to see a fully healthy Kearis Jackson of Peach County, among others.

          Here are videos of their pre-event media sessions, and audio of their speeches to the crowd. Crean spoke for about 19 energetic minutes and Smart for a little more than seven.

Before talking to the fans, he said that recruiting continues, and has become even more of a 24/7 activity. He was looking at video of prospects just before talking to the media.
