Don’t they get Pell Grant money too. If they’d stop buying weed and tattoos, that’d make a difference too. But I do agree with youWhen you are dirt poor the cost of attendance stipend makes a hell of a difference! That issue needs to be fixed YESTERDAY....
Youre silly. Did you.actually read it? He covered exacrly that with a coiple of the people who had top 10 transition classes.
He also did some stuff earlier saying to compete in your conference you basically have to be top 3 in recruiting, and even that is marginal. MOST of the time the team that recruits best wins.
Mullinz was 7th in SEC and will be worse this year. We are currently 11th.
You can say Mullinz record doesnt matter bc he will do better w Florida talent, Ive been told. What do you expect, if he actually continues to bring home less than Cowbell talent?
Mullens recruiting fell to 41st after he won 9 games.Wow, your fingers must be sore
You fail to acknowledge that Mullen established these stats, in the most undesirable university (little brother to Ole Miss), in an undesirable town, in arguably the most undesirable state in the country, playing in the toughest division in the toughest conference in all of college football.
I’m not going to the trouble to look it up, but I’ll wager 100 internet dollars that Franklin wasn’t significantly more impressive in his first years at Vandy, and Nashville seriously trumps Starkville in every possible way imaginable, including a straight-up comparison of the universities - in a comparatively weaker division.
This some great mental gymnasticsI not only read what was posted, but read the entire thing at the link. He did talk about high ranked transition classes. I did not see him make the link to high ranked transition classes affecting the bump class, but maybe I missed it. I looked for it when he talked about the top transition classes and I did not read it as him recognizing that issue.
Also the wait til he has Florida talent isn't working either:Youre silly. Did you.actually read it? He covered exacrly that with a coiple of the people who had top 10 transition classes.

People are working extra hard to make that crystal ball work perfectly for them. There is a lot to consider when weighing the recruiting at UF today. Things such as still trailing in the amenities dept, almost of decade of mediocrity or worse on the field, especially offensively, the change in the conference balance of power and, also, state competition. There is a ton of rot to rebuild, and we have been asleep for too long.
This is an unique situation for this university, for this century, at least, due to the failings of the past decade, so I am not surprised things are not immediately shaping up.
Why don't we stop pretending we know what's going to happen, step back off the ledge (for now) and see if the program can stop the bleeding/sliding and start to trend in the right direction by the end of the season?
What’s up with your obsession to always call him Mullinz? Did the guy do something to personally offend you? You know...mom cheats on dad, something like that?
I think once you get it going there can be some momentum at least for a while. I think it is surprisingly non-transferable, as in Bielema seemingly had it going at Wisconsin, but could not transfer that to UAR.
Mullens recruiting fell to 41st after he won 9 games.
Vandy is also the worst program in the SEC and a private university with far more rigorous requirements than miss state
They also have less of a budget and recruiting ground
. On November 11, 2012 Vandy became bowl eligible in back to back years for the first time in its 123-year football history. This was the first time since 1935 that Vandy won five SEC games in a year and the first time in 30 years that they won at home against Tennessee. Vanderbilt finished the year with the longest current SEC winning streak. For the first time since 1948, Vanderbilt finished the season with a top 25 ranking.
Franklin became the first Vanderbilt head coach to lead a Commodore team to a bowl game as a first-year head coach. As Franklin is the first coach to bring a Vanderbilt team to a bowl game two years in a row, he also has the most bowl appearances as a Vanderbilt head coach. He has the most wins for consecutive years (15) since 1926–1927.[129]Vanderbilt went to a bowl in back-to-back years for the first time in its history in 2012 and had its first regular season winning record since 1981. It also included the first 9 win season since 1915,[130] and first 8 win season since 1982, including the longest winning streak (7) since 1948 and longest road win streak (4) since 1950. Vanderbilt scored 40 points or more points the most times (5) since 1915. The Commodores defeated rival Tennessee at home for the first time in 30 years; the 41–18 margin the largest since 1954. They also defeated rival Ole Miss in consecutive years for the first time since 1951; and beat rival Kentucky by the largest margin since 1916. Kicker Carey Spear set a school of 81 points. Running back Zac Stacywas the first Vanderbilt football player to rush for over 3,000 yards in a career or 1,000 yards in back to back years. Receiver Jordan Matthews set a single-season record with 1,262 yards receiving. "Anchor Down" was established as the team's motto during the 2012 season and carried over into the 2013 season.
After the 2013 season Vanderbilt claimed the first back-to-back 9-win seasons in school history, again going to a bowl game, posting records of 10–2 in November under Franklin. Vanderbilt beat Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, and Tennessee in the same season for the first time in school history, including defeating Florida at "the Swamp" for the first time since 1945. Spear broke his previous season's record making 99 points and Jordan Matthews set SEC records of 263 career receptions and 3759 career yards, as well as 112 receptions in a season. Jerron Seymour set the single-season Vanderbilt record for touchdown at 14.
History of Vanderbilt Commodores football - Wikipedia
Franklin pulled in the #26 class AT Vandy in year 3, up from 46 in year 2. Mullen fell from 30 to 41.
No. 14 Vanderbilt: $26.78 million
It’s no surprise to see Vanderbilt football in last place again according to revenue. As the SEC’s only private school, Vanderbilt has a smaller fanbase than the rest of its peers. Vanderbilt even took a slight dip from the previous year’s revenue. It managed a paltry $4.6 million profit in 2015-16.
No. 12 Mississippi State: $35.47 million
Mississippi State’s football revenue continues to improve but it’ll likely always be in the latter-half of the rankings based on stadium capacity and fanbase size. Trying to close the gap with in-state rival Ole Miss should be a reasonable goal, though.
Ranking the richest and poorest SEC football programs
If Starkville is so bad and so undesirable how is it a coach who's never been a D1 coach or coached in the South can be out recruiting Mullen who has an SEC laden staff and a resume of success at. The same exact place?
You just haven't been around long enough to see that the donk insults anyone and everyone. Other forum members coaches and current and past players are not exempt. If you are planning to stick around, you will just have to get used to it but by all means feel free to call him out and shame him whenever possible....
Right place, right time for most. The notable exceptions are Saban and Meyer.
I was thinking this morning: We will find out in the next few years if Mullen is more like Gerry DiNardo or Jim Franklin.
So he’s like 12, right?
What’s up with your obsession to always call him Mullinz? Did the guy do something to personally offend you? You know...mom cheats on dad, something like that?
Nats Moore said Percy Harvins and Dan Mullinz were the most important part of the 06-08 teams.What’s up with your obsession to always call him Mullinz?
Yes.
Please note:
Same dashing figure
Same dopey expression
No one has EVER seen Fuller and The Grimace in the same room at the same time.
This is no doubt true, but it is also no doubt true that Mullinz is recruiting worse than the new HBC in that trailerpark we call Cowbell. The theory that he will be better with Fla talent has problems if he can't recruit Florida talent, right?Wow, your fingers must be sore

Wazzup, Jay! Welcome back!People are working extra hard to make that crystal ball work perfectly for them.
Yeah, he is a 12 yr old lawyer.
Nat Moore played for Doug Dickey - what in hell are you talking about
