This would make sense if EJ told them yes over Stanford

Alot of what we've been seeing/saying


Question (paraphrasing) whats wrong w offense recruiting vs defense? Is it coaches or what?

Answer: well, Torrian Gray is a great recruiter.

Also, he mentions McDaniels is fast but a project at safety. Says Gray and someone else (I forget but not English) was sent to recruit him. Weird it wasnt English.

Corbin can play and could boost our return game. Texas A&M RB Jashaun Corbin enters the NCAA transfer portal

" Corbin just went over 1,000 career all-purpose yards in the Clemson game after posting 853 all-purpose yards last season to lead all SEC freshman with an impressive 10 yards per play. The phenom chipped in 422 kick return yards to lead the SEC with a 30.1 kick return average. For his efforts a season ago, Corbin earned All-Freshman Team honors from the league’s coaches as a running back, all-purpose player and return specialist".

Major Burns (4* Safety) now committed to Dwags (recently decommitted from LSU).

Should bode well for our chances with Avantae Williams.

I think we tend to underestimate the rebuild Mullen had to deal with.

1. I'm not pulling all the articles up, but go read about Michael Tarquin's recruitment. He was by no means the only one. Thanks to Butters, UF had a terrible reputation with high school coaches, parents, and recruits.

2. How many schools have we not recruited for years? I know Chump and Butters didn't touch Jacksonville. I listened to the coaches being interviewed on the radio. They said Florida never contacted them. There was no relationship at all. The high school writer here locally said the same thing.

3. In addition, I don't think Mullen is a great salesman like Kirby or Jimbo. He does his recruiting through relationships. I think that is why it took a while to get the ball rolling. Now, Mullen needs to take the next step and start signing the elite guys.

Ahem. In my experience the best salesman are the ones who work "through relationships". But you are correct. Sometimes that takes a little while to produce fruit.

Avante was a lock as of last week, just doing more OV so he doesnt want to sign early.

If he is doing more OVs, then he isn't a lock. He could get on a campus and his emotions swing that direction.
When you're a kid that grows up like some of these kids do, traveling the country for free for the only time in your life is something most are going to do!

I realize you have super secret inside information, but with all due respect nobody is a lock until they sign on the dotted line.

Especially any recruits not signing on ESD. The pool of available blue chippers shrinks drastically after ESD and every major program will take their shot for a talent like Avantae Williams. If he was a lock, he’d be signing tomorrow.

Honestly the Burns decision was made because Williams already said he wasn’t gonna go to UGA or they used that commitment to pressure him into signing...kids like Williams slow play as much as the schools sometimes

Yeah, but two coaches normally equals position coach plus coach assigned to geographic region.

Uhhh.... he's been recruiting the southeast just as long as Jimbo has.

His relationships just take longer?
