I guess I have a hard time following that because I dont think the staff and Stricklin think publicly there is a problem for blame to be shifted for/to. I thought you was referencing an actual public statement from Mullen or Stricklin addressing recruiting as something that is going negatively and pointed to reasons why.

No, dummy. Can you read? I merely indicated that the tenor of this thread is so sad sack that any show of optimism was unusual. No one disagrees with your analysis nor questions your knowledge of football. As far as I can see, there has been only one positive comment in this thread. Someone suggested the positive action of going to a meeting and letting the coaches know of the dissatisfaction. Everything else just descends into a constant whine. I told the board when CDM was hired that he would be a good coach and a poor recruiter. A year and a half later I have to ask, why are you surprised?

Sure, that's not really where I was going with it. The point was we are seeing the same homer bullsh*t we saw when we landed Butters & Randy Specials the last 4 years. I hope this kid comes in and becomes another Jaewan Taylor, but the chances are he's another Richard Desir-Jones. I'm going to hope he develops, but - personally - I'd rather see us get bonafide 4 and 5 star kids and hope they live up to their billing vs. taking low 3-star projects keeping our fingers crossed they can play SEC football.

I’d like to think Mincey is the only reach on the OL this cycle. One hopes.....

Might have to take some flyers on DL and at LB if we blow chunks recruiting that side of the ball.

I was actually referring to Janvier, as he's a short, overweight OG that we don't need (sure we can use more OL's, but we need OT's badly). I haven't studied Miss State's roster but this was apparently a huge knock on their recruiting at MSUwas having way too many OG's and essentially playing too many kids out of position to make up for the roster gaps. But what do I know - go back a few pages and see the homers jump all in on a Butters Special low ranked 3-star like he was the top ranked OL in the class!

Chantz Williams, Tim Smith, Kedrick Bingley-Jones, Jalen Lee, Branard Wright, and Alex Lemon look to be the DL recruits we still have some sort of chance with. Can someone with more inside info than I update how we are doing with these players?

LB recruiting looks abysmal. Williams and Eason seem to be the only two on our board that don’t look out of reach.

Lots of truth here.

We really shouldnt be surprised.

And yet, I'd like to be wrong about Mullins, and I'd like to see our administration supporting him and giving him the best opportunity to succeed despite his recruiting weaknesses.

As for the admin, I judge people by what they do not what they say. What they have done is made the situation worse. they've proven that even though we now have an athletic director who's not opposed to spending money, they still aren't going to spend football money on football.

No worries fellas, we just landed a short, fat low 3-star OG a few days ago - you can go back a few pages and see @Alagator blowing his load in excitement for landing a 3 year project with an offer list of FIU, FAU, Louisville, Indiana, and UF who likely transfers out after not playing a single snap.....
Dude. Get over it. He’s a 4* on rivals. By all means, go back and look. When I called you out for b!tching about a Rivals 4* you gave me a dislike but I got like 13 likes on the comment. Seems everybody disagreed with your sentiment about a player you know sh!t about. But you’d rather be a b!txh, and just and moan and cry. Like I said, cool your tits. The guy your going limp d!ck over is a Rivals 4* top 250 player. Why you insist on being such a b!tch about an offensive lineman is beyond me. We need 4-5 per year. According to Rivals, he’s a take. You’re the only one crying about it. “Blowing my load” over this OL. Come on. PLEASE...go back and show me where I did that. We got the guy. You said he was crap. I told you, I and Rivals disagreed with with. Swamp donkey called you out on it too. For some reason you got your panties in a wad over this.

And the offer list you keep minimizing.... it also included Auburn and LSU. Quit being a d!ck just for the sake of being a d!ck.

I thought all you a$$holes was going to take your dick contest to one of the other "bitch about recruiting" threads? Why can't we just leave this one to 2020 recruiting updates? See, this is why we can't have nice things.

As I said earlier, you have made a solid case for administration non-support. Now that the case is made, why not shift to possible solutions? Re-read some of the posts and tell me you can do it and not think of spoiled teenagers.

Possible solutions? fire the remnants of Fooleyites.

There is no other solution.

Pass the word.

You got 13 likes because it's the same homer bullsh*t we saw during the Butters years; he's a great evaluator, his 3-stars are better than everyone else's 3-stars, he'll coach em up.... It's the same bullsh*t! So go blow another load over this short, fat, out of shape, low 3-star project while our rivals are landing 4 and 5 star studs!
