I'm not equating their recruiting. My point was, and still is, that if we take care of ourselves, we'll be fine against teams like uga, tenn, etc.
But to use your arbitrary Top-25 rule, in Meyer's first 4 classes, he had a total of 26 of those players(3,9,10,8 respectively), or an average of 6.5 per year. In Mullen's first 4 classes, at the moment, he has 16 of them(3,4,5,4*right now), or an average of 4. It's not on par. No one is questioning that. But it's not taking scraps either.
One huge advantage that Meyer had was a fading Bowden and Coker, plus a beginning to fade OOS threat in Fulmer. The vols especially had crazy in-roads here that were beginning to crumble. When Mullen came in, we had Smart, Swinney and Saban all doing way better than they should be in the state. That's a different challenge, given where those programs are at. He's also allowed Diaz to get a foothold. That's on him. Hopefully uga is slowly being pushed out. You can criticize recruiting decisions and certain staff while also recognizing that he did not walk into the UF of 2005.
