There were plenty of people here talking about butters being the 3-star whisperer and sure that he found a lot of diamonds in the rough. Plenty (somehow) claimed he had fixed the roster or even stocked the shelves.
That's a very common sentiment on Swamp Ass even today.
I can't think of one of those that has worked out.
I give him credit for his OL haul in 2015 to at least get us some bodies there. Outside of that, even most of his higher ranked guys were average at best. And as was said, you simply can't build around these guys. A specific project guy here or there, a utility guy with low ratings, fine. But he built a roster of mid-level guys, and supported it with G5 depth. And routinely had to hold on for dear life just to land those guys, fending off the late pushes of Temple and FIU. I respect their efforts because they're Gators. But insinuating that somehow we had this loaded roster when DM took over is hilarious.
It's also been funny to see some of the preseason prediction threads being bumped over there. The narrative was completely different at that time, they were definitely going to beat us, and wondered out loud what the national media was going to say when they won 8 or more games this year.
