Recruiting Re-ranked 2019 classes (UF #17)

[Oscar the G]

Because we (Chump) had out recruited Georgia, i.e. we had more talent. Even SharkFcker couldn't screw that up.

Recruiting was pretty even I think.

Recruiting was pretty even I think.

Not a huge discrepancy like it is now.

mcelwain got us to Atlanta, but that shouldn't change your expectations.

McElwain did not get UF competitive in Atlanta and that is the issue. I think we have a good metric proposed in this thread to evaluate Mullen.

If UF is:

1. moving toward 82 to 85 recruited scholarship players from the 77 or 78 UF has now. (And by recruited I don't mean

2. moving toward having 50 or 51 blue chip players.

3. moving towards having 5 or so five star players.

If UF is moving in that direction, then Mullen may be building up the roster towards what we need and UF may be competitive the next time in Atlanta.

So we just have to move in that direction? I get that recruiting is important, but he should only be "evaluated" for wins and losses.

Sweet. Our recruiting was mostly missing an Insti-stat to know if we were coming along ok.

You could argue that recruiting has gotten slightly worse. The coaching is light years better though and the s&c( like you said) aswell. But recruiting could be a touch worse.

I think when you look at their entire body of work (all classes combined), Mullen has slightly recruited better than Butters but not by much. O-line recruiting definitely improved overall, which has been a problem for nearly a decade. Also, Mullen's transition class was better than any of Butters's classes imo. But recruiting slightly better than the previous moron won't get the job done. We're still 2-3 years away from having the talent to legitimately compete for championships instead of peach bowls.

The only one that will hurt this year is Steele. Black will hurt next year, when Reese leaves.

I don't think Black was a MLB. He's too tall and skinny, more of an OLB/Buck.

Hopefully Wingo is a stud and takes the MLB spot for the next 3 years. Also we're still going after Hyppolite (Maryland commit).

Because of the lack of a full roster, we need to take in a few transfers this off-season to go along with a full class. Playing w/ less than 80 scholarship players is like putting yourself on probation.

I like Fuji.

Recruiting impacts are felt 2-3 years down the road the most. We’re going to have to use the transfer market to make up for the shortfalls in this class.

I am willing to give Mullen the benefit of the doubt this year for his second recruiting class. After the damage that Muschamp and Mac did to our program we arent flashy anymore. These kids are looking at Ohio, Clemson, bama, Uga, etc based on what's been hot the last 10 years or so.

I do think Mullen can make us respectable again and with that, the recruiting will get back up. I think Mullen is trying to change the culture at Florida and at the same time undo years of abuse and neglect that the players (and brand) have endured.

I dont think were winning championships anytime soon, but to at least be in the conversation again will do wonders. I think that's what we have with Mullen.
I guarantee recruiting will get back within the top ten very soon

And Georgia had Richt, and a first year Kirby... what happened after that?

 

[TheDouglas78]

The recruit watchers told us all last year that the bump class should be the class that makes this hire. Well the bump class after the transactions is 17th, and before it, matched Butters best class at 9. There will have to be a step up in the recruiting game. Or we are going to be a paying off another poorly constructed contract in the next couple of years.

which we have been basically doing for a decade it feels like

 

[Gator Fever]

This better be fixed this 2020 class for Mullen or a few years down the road people will be calling for his head. So far recruiting is Butters 2.0 like said earlier.

You missed the context.

 

[TheDouglas78]

You missed the context.

I understood the context, your premise was a joke.
