You are smarter than that. This is not a celebration of the current recruiting class ranking.

The point is all the people here claiming the world ended because we did not get Kelly would really be freaking out on recruiting now after the last UCLA transition class and current summer ranking . They claimed that Kelly's genius would just draw in the recruits. He has a brand new football center at UCLA and still is not drawing in the top recruits.
I know you truly believe that but if Kelly were here ,he'd have the benefit of the doubt. Everyone here was sky high when we thought he was coming here, the complete opposite of Mullen .

When he was at Oregon Kelly told the AD he could not recruit so the AD helped him. Of course that resulted in NCAA probation. Kelly recruiting against recruiting workaholics Saban and Meyer would not have gone over well.

Kelly running to UCLA looked like a dodge and like a guy just waiting for this hoped for call from the NFL.

No one wins shyt at UCLA.

Noteworthy that Kelly was unemployed and yet Oregon didn't try to lure him back, preferring to hire an 8 year coach with a losing record and then promote an OC with a very thin resume.

Was it a dodge or was our just that unattractive? Would he rather go to ucla where expectations are low or here to Florida where the administration expects championships but won't give a coach enough support to do so? He took 2 mil less to not take this job and it took 6 mil to hire a failed Mississippi coach. I think the problem lies up top. Either way, I'd rather have Chip Kelly mailing it in than Dan Mullen at full force.

If you had spent more time recruiting instead of eating you might still be here instead of coaching the WRs that Harbaugh outrecruited you for. Think of how many PBJ sandwiches that cost you. YET you had freedom of choice but not freedom from the resulting consequences. Watching you run as you show the Michigan WRs how to run routes must take a very long time.
yawn.

Your insults are even worse than your commentary. I can't even bring myself to respond. Would be like kicking a handicap child.

Carry on.

So when we thought we were getting Kelly , were you excited or bummed out about it?

We are working on him.

Baby steps.

He is finally understanding "sports bar atmosphere" even if he has work to do.

We will get a top 10 2019 class. Its not even close to the December early signing period so we have time to pull in recruits. Recruits are gonna see how Mullen and UF do and the big recruits will start coming. You will see...

UF beat FSU out for Emory Jones last season. This summer FSU has the higher star ranked QB in 2019 class (Howell) but watch out for UF's Jalen Jones long term rating.

Nike ratings:

Height:
Howell: 6-1.5
E.Jones: 6-2.5
J. Jones: 6-4

Weight:
Howell: 225
E.Jones: 195
J. Jones: 203

FORTY:
Howell: 5.12
E.Jones: 4.77
J. Jones: 4.45

VERTICAL JUMP:
Howell: 23.3
E.Jones: 32.3
J. Jones: 32.7

POWERBALL:

Howell: 34
E.Jones: 34
J. Jones: 39

OVER ALL RATING (PERCENTILE):


Howell: 62.19
E.Jones: 86.19
J. Jones: 103.68 (99%)


This Jalon Jones kid is confident.

FSU beat us out for Warren Thompson, Malcolm Lamar, Peters last cycle and McCrae, Goolsby, and Lucas currently. We need to flip the script. Imo J. Jones will be a better QB in this system than Emory. He reminds me of Cam hopefully without the baggage.

I wish I could see UF football the way you see it man I really do. With you I can't tell if it's legit or you're just on drugs and cant see it for what it is. What will you're excuse be if we dont finish in the top 10 in recruiting? I know what all the excuses are right now and I think there a load of crap. But I'm curious as to how you'll spin it if we finish say 14th.

On a positive note because there never seems to be anything positive happening for our football team. I look forward to our lady gators winning their opening game of the college world series against the dawgs. Hopefully pitching gets back to shutting teams down.

You said the same thing with Mac
Mac was lazy. Mullen is a hustler.
Because Mac was lazy and fell apart last season Mullen has catching up to do. Let Mullen do it.

The closer in time we get to the completion of our stand alone football center the better our recruiting will be.

The more recruits see Taggart's weaker field coaching the better for UF.

The QB battle is the most important battle to win. So far I like our QBs better than FSU's. Bottom line is currently Taggart inherited higher rated talent than Mullen.

If you include the 2 WR transfers Mullen recruited Mullen has a better 2018 class. Taggart also took a four star recruit from Ohio this past class that OSU passed on due to character.

If Mullen can out coach and beat Taggart on the road this season you will see a shift in the force.
