This is shocking!! SHOCKING I SAY!!!


AJ Brown shares details of his recruitment, including signing day eve bribery attempt and Dan Mullen's lack of effort on the trail

AJ Brown shares details of his recruitment, including signing day eve bribery attempt and Dan Mullen’s lack of effort on the trail

As most Mississippi State fans are well aware, the Starkville native turned down the option to stay local and play for Dan Mullen’s Bulldog program. So why didn’t Brown go to Mississippi State?

“It was kinda too close (to home) and the coach didn’t really recruit me,” Brown said. “He just expected I was going to come.”

Florida fans can relate to that comment.

Next you’re going to try and say that 5 stars as a general rule tend to produce more than 3 stars. That is obviously the exceptions to the rule. 3 stars and 5 stars are the same. Pat Dooley, Crucial, Carbozo, Steve Russell and others have told me so.

This is a stretch. Not that I don’t buy it happened, but the conclusion that this makes Mullen a lazy recruiter. I’ve heard players saying UGA or Alabama didn’t recruit them hard. Does that make Kirby or Saban lazy recruiters? No. Maybe it was a poor evaluation. Or other players that were priority. Or maybe just oversight. It’s hard to tell sometimes.

Now don’t get me wrong, Dan may very well be a lazy recruiter. This just isn’t evidence of that.

+13 cool points for Felix the cat...and yeah as much as people like to claim Mullen does more with less, why wouldn’t he want to do even more with more? Relentless effort seems to apply to having to coach up kids cause you took off during recruiting season...I understand the philosophy of wanting kids that buy in and trying to be some wizard of Xs and Os but it seems like he’s better suited to being an offensive coordinator after hearing excerpts from Meyers recollection...For all of you that say they wanted Chip Kelly you got the SEC version of that a guy that lives the minutiae but lacks understanding of the big picture...that’s my .02 anyway

You forgot @Ancient Reptile .

3 stars are just as good as 5 stars.

Also pumpers, Dan Mullen couldn't win at cowbell because all he had was three stars.

Also pumpers, it doesn't matter if he loses the "games he is supposed to lose" because he can't recruit elite players and has less talent than those teams.

Mullen has recruited in the top ten since he got here (give or take). That's a damn lazy opinion you are squirting out your face BM.
You are ignored Sir!

hahahahaha haha. Ignoring BMF at a time when all we have is possible recruiting news, as we all know he brings more than anyone on that topic, is genius. Well played.

My guess on BMF’s hurt feelings:

With no upcoming season, it's certainly no surprise we are at each other's throats even more than usual. Relax boys, we'll have football again in September of 2021.

So now an opinion from a jilted Ole Piss signee is newsworthy?

Sounds about right for some here..

What star was this player? I could see not recruiting 3 stars very hard.

The lengths some will go to defend any coach, having not paid attention to 3 of the last 4 UF coaching hire disasters (and when it was obvious that is was a problem) is crazy.

A.J. Brown, 2016 Wide Receiver - Rivals.com

AJ Brown was a 6.0 rated 4 Star. That is a hair under being a 5 star player. He was in Dan’s back yard and was the perfect size for his offense. I think it’s more arrogance than laziness but how could I really know.

I do know that supporting the coaches regardless of facts (such as suggesting AJ Brown was a 3 star) is the definition of blind pumperism.

Im not calling Dan a disaster, but we can still recognize long term systemic problems that will hold back our school/team.

Folks, here's your classic "whistling past the graveyard" homer poster!!

VA, are you honestly happy finishing w/ the 6th best class in the SEC, then losing 2 to 5 of those signees before they ever get to September of their very first year? Yeah "top 10 class" my ass!

And thank you for ignoring me. I don't like talking recruiting w/ homers.

In general, I view the act of ignoring posters to be childish and typical of today's keyboard warriors that can't handle debate or differing opinions.
