Ok so facilities don't matter....got it.
Facilities can help a mediocre recruiter recruit better. Talent and a lot of game planning help/scouting can help even terrible coaches look mediocre, see Butters at Trailerbammer.

Edit: I agree w LEO. Lets do this in another thread.

Swain is pretty good. Before he was hurt, he was our best receiver last year.
Yeah, but he should be rated a 91 or a 92 not a 97. I like Arian Smith, Malik Heath, Henderson and Britt before him. I mean he's a solid player and an excellent route runner but he's not a deep threat unless the db falls down.

Honestly I’m tired of ppl being so negative and obtuse that they think only their opinion is what matters...everyone has an opinion and honestly if we can’t sell kids on film flam and magic tricks we gotta put a good product on the field...if you think about it the higher ranked kids don’t care the coaches have a vision it doesn’t matter they want to be wooed and have their asses kissed...but if you win it’s a big difference maker...ppl that think one season of beating FSU and getting taken to the woodshed by Mizzou is gonna fix anything are completely myopic...I’m talking success over what we had last year, but then again I guess my opinion means as much as anyone else’s and I’m just gonna take the “I’m sick of” this and that talk with a grain of salt...y’all are so impassioned with having to be right about the “fix” you don’t care what anyone else has to say or thinks for that matter...but then again I thought that was the point of a discussion board...maybe I’m wrong about that too...but either way I really don’t care that’s just my two cents

FSU is a perfect example of what happens on field don't carry as much weight as you think. They look completely lost on the field last year, Taggert looked lost and they were blown out 5 times last year including to UF yet somehow he has a better average than us for 2020. With the right staff Mullen could be a championship winning coach but the recruiting needs to pick up a lot. something changes next season

I completely agree with this statement...but like it or not a black head coach is very big to these kids...he’s not been successful but for one season at USF and his disorganized pitiful excuse for a team was wiped across the floor by better competition...but you honestly think that they’re not being drawn to that dynamic in some way?

Flipping to Bama?...he was just talking about how he can’t wait to get down to Florida Saturday ‍♂️...I guess we’ll see what happens
My opinion is probably. Kids are treating us like a directional school that isn’t special to be at. It’s beyond embarrassing to see every last commit take visits and eye other programs like we are lesser than.

Yeah we’re the springboard to better offers or bigger stakes...everyone that wants the other SEC offers just commit to us or flirt with committing like Beck and then use it to get the offers they want...it’d be comical if we didn’t look like a horses ass in the process

As far as his averave goes, it's early still. If FSU looks anything like they did this past season, recruits will probably start to take notice. The reality is that for most of the current crop of recruits, FSU is/was a better brand than UF. Another season like FSU had last year and same for UF and that starts to change. We did not get in the mess we were in overnight, and it's not going to get fixed overnight. I know it's a negative cliche to say "be patient" (at least you won't hear me say "trust the coaches") but being patient is what I personally am doing.
