At least we are winning the recruiting war, oh for goodness sake!

Anybody checked our recruiting lately? According to Scout we are 31! Scout's rankings only go back to 2002 and our lowest class ranking was in 2011 at 25. We are ranked 12th in the conference behind everybody except Missouri and Vandy. I hope some of these prospects that have Florida listed as a school of interest sign with us or we could be in major trouble the next few years. Hell even Zook could win 8 games by just recruiting good players.

PUMPERS: Muschimp is a great recruiter.

Watching the weekend games, I realized that teams like Auburn, Ole Miss, Miss. State, (and even LSU) have much better athletes than we have in several critical positions.

Although Muschamp is not currently the best coach in the SEC, he is also not the worst. He is certainly having a better year than Spurrier and some others. The area in which I would most criticize him is RECRUITING!

Those other SEC teams have big, fast, athletic players on offense and defense. The gators - not so much.

I remember the 2008 Gators and the talent they had at running back and receiver - Murphy, Cooper, Harvin, Nelson, and Hernandez. All of those guys have found a home in the NFL. Looking at the receivers we have today, I do not see anyone on offense (except for Debose) who might have an NFL career. One possible exception could be Richardson who appears to have the same physical abilities as David Nelson - without the hands.

I think we do have NFL prospects on defense.

Listening to Mick after the game, he said that either the staff is miscalculating on the talent level of the kids they are signing or the staff just isn't getting the most out of them. Honest assessment and more candid than I expected from Mick.

I get the feeling it is both.

Pretty scary. Recruits are waiting...Foley needs to axe this feeble attempt at coaching in the SEC and move on. Get some candidates in line and get a jump on next year. Muschump is pathetic across the board. This was a complete failure.

I've always gotten the feeling you wanted Muschamp replaced.

As usual many here have a problem with premature evaluation. The story of their lives. Try to think of something else.
