That is about half the bluechippers we need and we only took 17 last class (7 of which we EEs that counted back). We have room for like 34.That's 21 players (13 4 stars) with some surprises yet to come from possible signings like Steele, Fuller, Pickering, etc. and there will be offers to lower ranked players the staff sees potential or necessity in. Could be 25 in the class altogether. .
smfhI'm not sure what's going to happen at Safety. Seems like if we don't get the kid committed to Tennessee (who is already 220lbs) we may not get one. ?
I just looked at the recruiting rankings and our commits. 24th, 8- 4 stars, 7- three stars. A month before early signing day. It looks like a bust. Mullen is a better coach than the prior two, but it looks like he and his staff suck at recruiting.That is about half the bluechippers we need and we only took 17 last class (7 of which we EEs that counted back).

Remember this time last year we were told we were saving ships for this year bc that second class is always the elite one.
There isnt a damn thing elite about this class.
It is hard to imagine that we are still relevated to landing none of the top FLa kids and hoping to flip Plan C kids from Cowbell and Kintucky but I guess that is just the way it ia going to be with thia regime too.
We've got 3 weeks and some change until signing day. The last week is a dead period/no contact so we really have about 2 weeks to fix this.I just looked at the recruiting rankings and our commits. 24th, 8- 4 stars, 7- three stars. A month before early signing day. It looks like a bust..

You’re smarter than this. Unless you assume we’re about to load out on 3 stars. I’m guessing we go half and half, which puts the GPA around 3.5 which isn’t great - especially for the second class - but it’s not all doom and gloom like you guys bitch about. Also, was addressing Raz’s comment about MSUs recruiting - Mullen didn’t take small classes at MSU and he only had a GPA less than 3 twice in nine years. Kind of invalidates that theory, no?The "GPA is high" method only works because we are taking ten less recruits than we have room for. Its a really fccking stupid argument, but you already knew that.
It's okay you can always fall back on the we're going to save 10 seats, more like 15 now, for the next class (again) argument.
Ive got to admit, you are a zealot. You will spin anything. Eight bluechippers and a bunch of prayers. Ole Mullinz is really rocking the recruiting.

And zealot would assume that I’m pumping the recruiting. Clearly I’m not since my stance is to wait and see what plays out then ***** and moan with you and Raz if it sucks.
Don't think we take another WR this class. Big play for Leonard Manuel next yearWe've picked up at least one CB for Tarquin (possibly 3). I think he'd be a nice get for us. I don't know if @BMF knows, but he's a true OT
Also, it appears that we've gained some CB's for a WR named Kennedy Lewis. He's a 3* WR out of TX. Listed at 6'4 195lbs, so potential as a blocker. The kid Jones out of Lake City is 6'1 175, so unless he has some kind of gift, I see Lewis more in the mold of a Mullen WR.
We are absolutely going to load out on three stars and we are already doing. Im guessing 80%. Hell, our big news of the last six months is getting a pledge from a walkon.You’re smarter than this. Unless you assume we’re about to load out on 3 stars.
Isn't he a track guy?
Replace Bell with Tarquin.
Steele is more likely than Elam. Hear a lot of people talking Steele is happening. Elam 50/50.
Apparently Pickering had an amazing time and is leaning our way.
Bogle is a real possiblity.
Sanders may happen. Not likely
Another name I have seen with real possiblity is Antony-Richards

Damn right he's a TRUE OT!!
The Kennedy Lewis CB's were from some bone-heads on 247 in Texas. He's basically been washed out of two of the classes (TCU, I think....and Texas)....so the next in line was UF. I don't think we take him.
