Reading on some other boards about the sh*t-show that is UF recruiting and there are some serious internal problems.
Mullen has assembled a rag-tag, disorganized motley crew of misfits in the recruiting office - he's currently trying to fix it....but the initial hires have been a disaster, including Begley who came from MSU (she's stabilized, but she her issue w/ banging the MSU baseball coach caused her to have to "hide out" for a few months while it settled down - a few months she wasn't really doing her job).
Otis Yelverton was recently arrested for stalking - and likely gets fired.
Cordell Landers did something, not sure what, and was let go.
Chuck Cantor - who was a buddy of Grantham - was hired to run the show....fired.
And apparently some of the UAA have commented to beat writers comments along the lines of "...we're not sure exactly what they do all day..."
Add to this that our recruiting staff is signifantly understaffed compared to our rivals who are out-recruiting us.
Been trying to respond to this for days, so here goes...
I was told basically the exact same thing you posted, and in addition, that several sources talking to my 'guy' also all used the same words when describing the direction of recruiting - unorganized and no communication. It was stunning to hear that he was told by these sources that folks in the building, to paraphrase you, "...aren't sure exactly what they do all day..." WTactualF?
He related a story as told to him, that a highly desired recruit committed to an out of state school, worked out an unofficial visit to UF with one of the assistant coaches; all he asked for was a hotel room for him and his GF. He was told it would be handled. The kid shows up with his GF, and they have nowhere to stay. It wasn't handled. So, unorganized and no communication, and they were left hanging.
It's pretty disconcerting that we're hearing this from probably different sources and that they're saying the same things. CDM seems like a good gameday coach but does't have a handle on this aspect of the job.
