That would convey the benefits of being way too damn late and even more "expensive." Sounds like the UAA to me.

Hopefully they will have several people donate the cords.

Two nice pick-ups in areas of need this weekend. Certainly encouraging. Here where we now stand in the Florida top 10/50/100

Nope, never gave anyone that I thought was honest a facepalm. You only get the facepalms simply because you're not.

Looks like were getting closer to where we need to be but as other have said we still got holes. Unlike the last 7 or 8 years though we have to be considered the top program in the state by recruits....We also have one less Vulture from out of state locking up pick of the litter types before we even got our foot in the door(Meyer OSU)….I like that we are building numbers based highly on the R250 list but we really need to get back to nabbing 2 or 3 top 20 recruits(5 stars) every year...Those are the guys who turn 10 win seasons into championship runs....

That's totally unacceptable....especially coming off better seasons than either one o those schools...

well.... not sure about that. Id guess that we take a deeper look at much fewer players. It makes sense. Why spend time on kids who have zero interest in UF.
Coaches also have formulas. Bammer is famous for it, adapted from the NFL and Belichick in particular. They have certain formulas they like height, reach, burst, ability to run certain drills faster than others.
No doubt Chimp and Big Pig just looked for strength. Chimp liked players who play angry.
Mullinz likes athletes and often grabs tweeners others dont want.
SOS did too. Often liked grabbing smart athletes, often QB and moving them to other positions.
System matters and there are kids who fit one system but not another.
But some kids are just better, are game changers, and could run pretty much any system. Not alot of those in the field though.

If we bytch slap scum in the opener and then deliver an ass whipping for the ages to the holes, there will be zero excuse for not breaking off some of those highly-prized recruits they already have - or will pick up during the season. I have come to like DM quite a bit, after initially hating the hire. But this year's class is absolutely vital to any hope that we can return to real prominence in the foreseeable future. There are certainly bigger fish to fry (dwags, bammers, etc.), out there waiting to be challenged. But dominating instate recruiting starts with castrating the instate rivals. Although I believe we are seeing some progress, I agree, that to this point, it still isn't enough. I'll try to keep my powder dry until NSD, but the day of reckoning is rapidly approaching.

I think you are misreading this or at least inflating it.
No one was more anti Mullinz than me. But the truth is he is more likeable now than I ever thought I could be, I'm sure he wants to be here for the long haul, and we desperately NEED him to be successful.
He isn't a great recruiter that's just a fact. We need to give him more help and that is a fact. Or AD doesnt believe in spending money and when they do it will be the bare minimum and that is a fact.
I dont know if we will ever climb back to being elite. Ask Tinerc, it isnt easy and we seem to be the second least dedicated AD's office in the SEC (next to Vandy)... probably bc we believe we are "special" and the recruits will want to come here regardless of how much the UAA/AD spends.
Lt Raz and I disagree on many things but I respect his opinion alot about x's and o's. Same w Cover and Sas for obvious reasons.
Raz admits not being able to assess certain positions but his expertise is amongst the top on this forum for sure. He could actually land a position in the biz (and has) and that is far more than 99.99% here can say (including me).

Yeah. But he isnt another one trick pony edge guy and this is huge. Playing inside, stepping into holes is a whole different skills set than an OLB/DE pash rish specialist.
He is also more wedge shaped than the skinnies we have been landing. Certainly looks like a future MLB than me.
Some kids just dont develop. And there will always be that risk but hoping a safety grows into an MLB and develops the instincts is a poor (primary) plan longterm.

That was all jayden davis’ doing. Yeah Wingo put it up but Davis was the one trying to troll. He desperately wanted to be in the class and the coaches told him to kick rocks after this stunt.We just need to keep an eye on Wingo this year at FNL

He’s good in coverage which we desperately need at that position. Joseph was a total embarrassment in that regard last year.

You're all over the place, always changing the narrative. I classify elite classes in the top 5. I don't think we land an elite class this year. You just claim that Mullen will NEVER land an elite class. That was what earned you the dumbass badge.
Also again you change your narrative in this latest comment. In that post you didn't say "we could not realistically get to 6-8". You simply stated "Regardless, 6-8 nationally is a pipe dream with what we are."
You were dishonest because you don't believe it is a "pipe dream". You just simply believe it's difficult, but you just want to add your own anti-mullen bias to your actual assessment. If you said it this way I would not have disagreed with you. Many others disliked your post for the same reason.
Taking stock of where Florida stands with the 2020 recruiting class - Read and Reaction
Right now we have around ~ 50% blue chips in the class on 247. If you go by his assessment, and we only stay at about 50% on 247, then we'd project at about 9-10. Things look a bit rosier on Rivals which seems to be what we like around here, with a percentage of about 56% blue chips to total commits, that would project a class ranked about 6-8. That is actually assuming we hold our current blue chip ration until August. Other assumptions do include that we take a full class.
This is only a middle of the road prediction. Our ceiling may actually be closer to ranking 5th. We can all argue about how far we can go, but really? Do you really believe being 6-8 is a pipe dream? How about you be honest about that?

I completely agree with everything in this post, including your last paragraph, which I alluded to in a prior comment.
