Not reading too much into this. I’m guessing Knox left his inhaler at the Gibbs’ home on the last visit and we’re just going back to get it.

What Mullen has done differently is tilt the roster from being a high 3* to a low 4* talent. We need that upper 4* average to think about competing consistently. No one is saying Mullen hasn't improved the roster, but you guys act like he's absolutely killing it.
Looking at the total roster talent:
2015 #15 789.79
2016 #16 798.44
2017 #17 795.72
2018 #12 835.84
2019 #15 835.68
To put this in perspective, the #1 team each year comes in just under 1,000 pts. So yeah, improvement, but it's not mind numbing. We really need to push over 900 before we can start talking about killing it on roster improvement. And I do think we end up increasing our overall talent, when 2020 comes up, but I'm not looking for anything crazy. It could get good if we actually have 85 players and not fill spots with just anyone.
In 2016, Kirby took over UGA at #6 and they now sit at #3, with a sizable lead over #4.

Per that article Slev posted this is exactly where we will be to start 2020. I personally don’t think it is “killing it” at all and I’m on the dumper side of most of our recruiting board debates, but it’s hard to not recognize that getting about even with 5-6th ranked total team talent levels (based on prior years) in only two full seasons is a significant improvement.

We'll see. We lost 6 players from NSD on, so that is baked in, and I'm not convinced Mullen will be able to fill all the slots. I think NSD is going to look a lot like ESD, honestly.

When you say "you guys" point out one concrete example, just so we know such a guy actually exists. Other than that, good post.

As we beat UM & FSU the highest recruits who stay in-state will gravitate to UF as winners want to join winners.
IMO, Mullins is not a bull-shyter, so his spiel to the recruits needs good wins with a scheme that appeals to 4*-5*. It's getting there. The real competition for the best comes from Clemson, Bama, UGa ... & in-state rivals. And of course = star players follow star players.
Now if Mullin develops his recruits into high-performance NFL-noticed players, that will help being incorporated into Mullin's "non-exaggerated" recruitment spiel. Then there is UF players having zero off-field "do-bads", that will give parents a good feeling about UF. I'm sure there are a lot more wrinkles. As is, UF is headed toward conference CGs & further. Better athletes accelerate our climb. Grow Gators!

I just got home after a big rib eye perfectly cooked medium rare and tender as a fillet. Excuse me if I found that more engrossing than the wisdom you and Donk were dispensing here.
