Wasn't your adoration for Zook just included in the title for this very thread just a few days ago?;)

In all seriousness as far as Grantham, I'm not qualified to break down his defensive acumen like few here are (you included). But I do know he took a defense ranked around 70ish in total defense and turned them into a top 20 defense in year one so I'm willing to give him a chance. And plus I really like his aggressive style and I believe the kind of recruits were used to getting at Florida will as well.

As expected at this point Arjei Henderson will not be in this class as he failed to meet the requirements for admission

Yeah disastrous class for Mullen. Honestly, im high on his coaching but failing at recruiting like has up to this point is pretty inexcusable and will likely lead to him having an on the field performance drop-off from years 3-5. Unless he starts really recruiting at a higher level, I don't see him making it past year 5. Not because he isn't good with X's and O's but because it's hard to beat decent teams when youre essentially rolling out 3-stars and "gems"

So taking out all the guys who failed to make it in...we basically had a 17th ranked recruiting class.

That **** will get you fired by years 3-5. Dan either pulls a rabbit out of his hat in this years recruiting or he's fighting for his job down the road. 8 win seasons doesn't allow you to keep your job like it did at MSU

Yadda, yadda, yadda. Something like eleven players that he brought to MS State got drafted by the NFlL last year. If he repeats that here, we will probably be okay. What goes in is important, but what comes out is more important. The troubles of the day are sufficient for the day. We can wait a week or two to worry about 3-5 years from now.

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. His recruiting has improved since MSU and that bodes well. He takes a lot of risks and more than the normal amount didn’t pan out in this most recent class - that doesn’t bode well. He needs to bring in talented kids that are more likely to be able to meet the standards at UF.

Fans need to start looking outside their bubble when proclaiming the sky is falling - look at UGAs 2018 class. They’ve lost 3 of their top recruits already.

Welp, there you have it. Down 6 from the class including our only 5 star and three 4 stars. Anyway you spin it, that's pretty disappointing. Sad thing is, I'm not sure Mullen had much a choice but to roll the dice. Until we get our act together on facilities and beef up the support staff, we'll probably see more of the same. If we can keep backfilling with talented transfers, we might be able to bridge the gap. Its a tall order, but it seems Mullen gets it. Sure hope he can pull it off.

All the losses were blue chipper composite 4 stars I think.

I guess Mullen heard all the recruiting talk in the news and loaded up with a California dreamer and a bunch that were likely not to get in.
