It’s one of the things the previous staff struggled with, beyond the obvious. Perception is everything and we allowed ourselves to get beaten publicly again and again. If you’re not getting someone, realize it and move on. A huge part of sales is not wasting time, by being cognizant of the signals. They’d get trolled all the way to NSD when we should’ve quietly backed away and focused efforts elsewhere. It’s why some here are so cynical about things. Sometimes you have to just concede and find others. I think Mullen has done a better job of that to a degree, and we are actually landing some great recruits. It’s primarily just RB this year that is being allowed to embarrass the whole cycle. Take Knox out of the equation and we’re all probably a lot more content. I don’t like English either but he at least knew how to recruit at one point. Knox is just ridiculously bad at everything.
Well said...but like I’ve seen and agree with he’s gonna die the death of a thousand cuts due to his own stubbornness and possibly partly the administration...but if I made 6 million a year I’d pay for recruiters out of my own pocket before I lost my job and my program to mediocrity

2015-2018 (2019 class not really playing yet)

2015: Ivie (Medical Exemption), Zuniga (switched time DE)

2016: NONE

2017: Campbell, Conliffe

2018: NONE

50% once again

I guess technically Slaton was part of 2017 even though he was not graded as a DT. So slightly above 50%. 2017 was a good DT class although Campbell has greatly under performed.

This is BS and you know it. I’ve been an anti-Knoxer since Mullen chose him over Seider.

actually KC was a 5* but dropped drastically after the summer because he ballooned up to 400 lbs.

The staff was hoping he’d shed the wait and be that 5* potential.

I did add Slaton. So not sure what you’re talking about.

Don’t bring that garbage 247 info to me. You can’t pick and choose as you see fit in grades and position classifications.

Telling’s not selling. We’re at a 5* TE’s house breaking down film, going over the history of the position and average rain fall in North Central Florida. It’s embarrassing. I get that we sell the Pitts factor, but just close this kid on him being even better. As someone said last week, he went to uga and watched an entire game with practically no TE targets. They’re not informing him. They’re just closing him.
Coffee is for closers.

Knox drinks milk.

this post is so ridiculous on so many levels. I threw nothing but the facts. Straight numbers from Rivals website.

you’re the one who switched everything around.

also never said KC was a 5* when he came signed. I said he was ORIGINALLY a 5* when he committed. The coaches kept him through his weight issues in HOPES he would see his ceiling. He never did.

I recall Zuniga as a DT recruit. Yes Slaton was recruited as a DT. He was one of the top OTs but he wanted to play defense. We were one of the few schools that were ok with it. I think Bama entered the picture late.

By KC I meant Clark (2014). I think you’re taking about Campbell. I mixed it up.
