4* WR (58th) Xzavier Henderson
4* DT (140th) Timothy Smith

4* RB (171st) Jahmyr Gibbs
4* WR (207) Jimmy Calloway
4* OT (285) Jashua Braun
4* RB (302) Henry Parish
4* S (332nd) Mordecai McDaniel
3* WDE (406th) Morven Joseph
3* DT (437th) Clyde Pinder


LOL..... what a bloodbath.
What I’ve read elsewhere:

5* TE (17th) Darnell Washington
-Quiet on this front but let’s be real- not happening.
4* WDE (54th) Donnel Harris
-Trolled by Jimbo again.
4* S (55th) Avantae Williams
-Knox and English are primary recruiters. Going ahead and pencil him out.
4* WR (58th) Xzavier Henderson
-Read he’s all Clemson. No shot.
4* DT (140th) Timothy Smith
-Never a chance, no matter what you read.
5* Demarkus Bowman
-Same As Smith
4* EJ Smith
-Can’t fault him for Stanford
4* RB (145th) JoQuavious Marks
-Knox is a disaster.
4* RB (171st) Jahmyr Gibbs
-See Marks. No watch we miss all these guys with Seider.
4* WR (207) Jimmy Calloway
-Haven’t seen much.
4* OT (285) Jashua Braun
-:yay:
4* RB (302) Henry Parish
-awful far down the list but maybe. See Marks comment for further analysis.
4* S (332nd) Mordecai McDaniel
-:yay:
3* WDE (406th) Morven Joseph
-meh
3* DT (437th) Clyde Pinder
-good shot here since he didn’t sign. Fine I guess but was supposed to be just another guy after a good haul. Now heaven a prime target after spectacularly failing today. Dan needs to shake up the staff or he’ll never win a championship.

Donk not in shambles though. At least one poster got to celebrate yesterday.

It is what is and what it will be at this point and most likely the foreseeable future....
To be the top program in the State (and back to back top 10 rankings) with the most quality recruits and one(FSU) going through a second coaching change in 3 years speaks volume on the effort and abilities of the staff to come up with a class that may not finish in the top 10....and middle of the road in the conference.

I remember a time when getting at the minimum at least 2 or 3 of the top 50 ranked recruits was a given.

Thats bullshyt.

If you look at either the Florida Top 25 unfortunately Clown Town killed us.

Top 50- I will do the count but I think we are still second.

Really, only if you count the 50-100 range can you claim we in, and that is solidly down into 3 star range.

But spin away, I guess.

Even for you, this is a funny disregard for truth. I love that you provided a link to prove your wrong. In the top 25, we each have 3 and ours are slightly higher rated. There are 3 undecided players in the top 28. We are in on each (not getting my hopes up) and FSU is not. Hardly getting killed.

The class is not good enough - unless it leads to staff changes, then I’d take it like the Zoomer’s MSU loss. But, let’s not act like it’s a disaster.

Plus, at the most important position, there is at least a chance Mullen brought in a great equalizer in AR. A great QB can overcome good, not great recruiting (see OU and years prior Clemson). For that to happen though, you need very good to great lines of scrimmage. We may have done that too (though I suspect we are overrating that aspect too - we got numbers but don’t know yet if they are real players).

Not impressed with the recruiting and if it doesn't get better then we will NEVER get over the hump. Some of you are living in fantasy land if you don't realize the glaring problem we have with recruiting.

Yes, yes, yes. 3 star whisperer is gonna beat Saban and Dabo's five stars. We've heard this before.

On signing day it is "oh well, just have to coach em up".... in Oct "oh well, he cant win without talent."

Verse 8, same as the last verse.

Thank you sir. Your point about the balance between the line and the skills is made and appreciated. Thankfully, we've got better to put with the OL than Wells, Westbrook, and Moore. I get that you and others don't care much for Mullen. To use a racing analogy, he's more of a quarter mile guy than top end compared to the guys considered the best (Saban, Swinney, etc.). But he's our guy and I'm glad the class we've got has addressed the biggest needs. His strength seems to be player development, so it'll be interesting to see how that goes. Despite his shortcomings regarding recruitment of skills, particularly RBs, I wonder if our run of poor OL play might have affected the interest?

He has had poor interest by RBs and WRs all the way back to 2007.

Top 50 in the country?

:lmao2: Yeah, Mullinz will never sniff that. He isnt a Chimp or Zook level guy even.

The IMG thing is stupid. A lot of the top recruits from there aren’t even Florida residents.
Yes yes yes, it is just img.

How many of the top kids went to img?

And what is the recycled Butters excuse for all the other schools?
