J cannot give up on his Mullen love. As embarrassing as it was, he still wants to justify it.
this data it's only useful if you're silly enough to believe that the number 34 player in the country is the same as the number 500, or whatever the currently grossly inflated four-star cutoff is.
now if you want real data go back and look at the top 250 kids that signed with each coach.
you could compare the top 25 Florida players for each.
none of that is going to be friendly to Mullins.
Butters actually signed more of those top-tier kids than Mullen by a large margin, especially given that Mullins top kids often never made it to class (non quals, injuries etc).
the flip side is also true Mullins landed far more upper level three star kids while Butters landed a bunch of real doozies, low 3 star borderline two star kids we stole from FIU.
you also only showed for some reason Chimps classes after the 4-8 season, and you know he was doing well in those classes.
in reality, the high four star kids top 250 types statistically achieve at about the same rate as the five star kids, whether you measure that by all sec to honors or NFL draft.
I would count those as first tier, second tier, third tier is the Mullen zone (Cowbell, Indiana,Mizzu players) high 3 star and low 4 stars, fourth tier the Sun belt zone etc. but I don't run a recruiting service.
Tijuana you have to remember J only broke up with Mullen roughly a month ago... those scars run deep.
