Sucks losing out on Jones. Looks like our OL class will be a bunch of 3-stars (well, maybe most of the class). At this point, I'm hoping we can land 10 blue-chip. We get Elam and hopefully Higgins & Zipperer. I'm not sure who the other three 4-stars would be to get us to 10. If we sign 23 or more, we likely crack the top 20 w/ 10 4-stars. Nowhere near where we need to be, but it is what it is (I hate that expression).

This kid would be a huge get, but I ain't holding my breath:

So we really do have Butters 2.0. I was impressed with Mullen’s transition class but you can already tell we are gonna have to settle for the leftovers in this 2nd class.

If we can land Sanders and get to 12 blue-chip players I'm fine with it. I was hoping for a 12th (or better) class, but at this point it's not looking good. I really doubt there's some "silent" commits sitting out there waiting to join our class. We have a good season, we could probably flip a player or two....but we're going to need to do that just to get to 12 blue-chip players - I keep harping on "12" because that seems to be the minimum number you need to stay at 45-50 on the roster.

Let's see what happens after FNL. I'm keeping my fingers crossed w/ Elam, Zipperer, Higgins....and Sanders. I hope we can flip Fuller (from FSU) and land another decent DL.

What's more worrisome is the talent gap that's growing between us and UGA. And while we're sleeping on it, Muschamp is putting together a hell of a class (so is Moorehead, Malzahn, Ed O, and Jimbo). No matter what our opinions of other coaches are, it's a hell of a lot easier to look good as a coach if you have a talented roster.

The best piece to this class though is Jalon Jones. The kid is legit and can be a Cam Newton type if he gets up to 230lbs and be a real difference maker - while we try to improve our recruiting classes in 2020 and beyond.

That is a reach.

And even getting 10 is half what is needed to compete.

The dumpster fire continues.

Agree Law. The whole thing is a reach at this point. We're watching many of the 4-star kids we thought we had a shot at commit elsewhere. Getting to 8 blue-chip kids may be a reach (meaning we'll only get 4 more). But I think Mullen surprises us.

Kimbrough is one leaning our way and could get a 4-star. I'm keeping my fingers crossed we can get to 10....but 12 is certainly a reach (but not un-doable).

I've been looking through the lists, and I'd love to see what our "board" looks like. A lot of these kids are predicted (or leaning) to a certain school - such as a RB, but that school either already has a RB committed and/or has 3 RB's "crystal ball'd" to them. They can't take all of them. FSU has several other DE's leaning their way - but they already have 3 or 4 DE's committed. Unless they sign a severely unbalanced class, they can't take that many at one position.

I'm going to hold my complaining until after FNL. If we don't see at least 4 more commits by game 1, w/ at least 2 of those being a 4-stars, it's going to be difficult to get into the top 20. That's inexcusable no matter who the head coach is.

At least we came in second or third as usual.
This is the thing i keep hearing from Cordoza and Alboverdi that i cannot stand. Like we're supposed to be happy that we finished second for a recruit we wanted. It's infuriating. Who the **** cares if we finish second or last?? We still didn't get the recruit. So tired of those two guys specifically. Constantly trying to tell us that Muschamp or Mcelwain and now Mullen will put it together. How many times do they need to be wrong before they figure out that they suck at their jobs?

The usual places are going all in to try to explain Mullens crappy recruiting I see.
