True. But he aint a flip to the point I was making. He is being reported as having trouble getting into UF. Which sucks .. but not the same suck as a school stealing him.

Personally ... I really like this class a whole lot and just because today wasn't a big flip day for us doesn't make it a flop. We upgraded the hell out of our trenches. And I love that we upgraded our D. IMO, had we been tougher in the trenches on both sides of the ball we could of had a special team.

Like the line work, we got 11 downlinemen… but wished we picked up another DT that was around 300 instead of hoping one of the other two can put on the weight and still play at the same level.

@Mr2Bits incoming to tell us a) staff is shocked and b) just wait until NSD, when we whiff on A Williams because English is his position coach and Knox is his area recruiter.

Annnnnd Mullen is indeed not an elite recruiter. Another disappointing signing day. Been a while since we’ve had an exciting one tbh

Mullen has done well the past two ESDs, and wiffed on NSD. This doesn't bode well for Feb. We may well slip out of the top 10 now.

Apparently Mullen had an interview and looked pissed? He has one opportunity to fire Knox and billy and if he doesn’t, this tenure is done. Finished. Stick a fork in it.

Hes mentioned adding to the recruiting staff, have not heard about any subtracting to echo the sentiment around here
BS, earlier this fall you stated staff upgrades were a done deal in response to a convo specifically about knox and english.

Can we also stick a fork in mr2bits and his fake insider info
I missed on Brown hands down, my jaw hit the floor, no denying that. Harris is still 60/40 us and as the day went on, I said Bama was in Smiths ear trying to pull him back which I hoped they wouldnt.

I was taking a crap when I found out it shifted into their favor about 5 mins before announcing but couldn't wipe in time to get back here and share that it sounded like he was back with Bama

I am disappointed we did not capitalize more than we did on the down years and uncertainty at UM and FSU. We did sign a better overall class than either of them, but they still managed to get 16 4-stars (247 Rankings) between the two of them, and all but two of those 16 were from Florida.

12:10 p.m.: And there was one. Lakeland cornerback/returner Fenley Graham has sent UF his signed letter of intent, giving the Gators 20 signees on the day. All UF commits expected to sign except Issiah Walker, who will sign at 7 p.m., have put pen to paper today.

Currently ... 4th in the SEC and 6th in the Nation. Big difference. But ... NSD is a couple months away and we still have to get them enrolled.

Rivals just bumped us from 6th to 7th as the dwags moved ahead of us.

Blind loyalty has sunk many a ship, it also goes both ways. Do your job. It sucks firing a friend, but if they are not up to the job, encourage them to move on and evaluate your hiring process. As mentioned, attention to detail, if you are a personality type that doesn’t have it, hire a number 2 that does.
