That’s a good philosophy at Mississippi State. If Florida is annually in third place in recruiting in its own state, that’s not going to get the job done
YOU CAN HAVE HIGHLY RATED GUYS WHO FIT DAN!!!

Dak in college is nowhere comparable to Tebow

At MSU to be honest, Mullen did not help in recruiting top talent. Having said that, he put all his efforts into camp because the state of Mississippi has so many rual areas where big time talent gets overlooked. Not sure he can pull that at Florida but he will find some under valued recruits people overlooked.
These recruiting services are nice but they miss a lot and often overrate some guys.

Hookers and blow doesn't matter to you if you're not doing hookers and blow.

I can't even imagine putting up with this guy if I'm a Florida booster. Just seems so weird and inept at saying the right thing.

Alabama had more UA All Americans than all the other playoff teams combined last year.

While this is true, it is generally the exception. Do you know which school currently has the most 5 stars on it's roster? Georgia. Wanna know who's second? Alabama. Care to guess which two schools just played for the NC?
Right behind them are schools like Ohio State and Clemson and USC.
Teams that win conferences and make the playoffs have a hell of a lot more than just a Dak Prescott on the roster.

I am willing to sit back snd see if he can pull it off. I will proclaim him a great arse coach if he can do it no doubt.

I see Butch-isms like 5-star heart cropping up in Gainesville about mid-November.
For now, daily doses of relentless effort will have to do.

Man...I just had Tubs deja vu...
Every Auburn fan knew that the program, with just a little bit of effort, could recruit a lot better than top 20 classes. The same for Florida. No reason not to at least have a top 12 class every single year.

Mullen is half right. You NEED guys who fit your program, and star rating isn't everything. And coaches who recruit based strictly on star rating are lazy. There are hidden diamonds everywhere and even Alabama looks hard to find those diamonds,
and finds them.
However, at the end of the day, to win titles, you need GOONS. You need dudes that look like they are in their 30s by the time they get to campus as freshmen. Dudes who look like they are constantly posing for mugshots, even at breakfast (gangbangin' on bacon nucka). Dudes that scare white folks. Dudes that EVERYONE wants. Dudes that you have to fight hard to get and fight just as hard to keep. Dirty South GOONS.

Damn...Sounds awfully familiar to what Paul Johnson said when he took over at GT. 'Stars don't matter'...and just a few days ago, Johnson stated, 'I could give 2 shits about recruit rankings.'
Mullen was just a little more tactful with his statement. He is aspiring to be more like Paul Johnson and GT. Awesome.

To win at the highest level you have to recruit the best and coach them up.

Here’s the deal with Dean Marvins. He is a very pompous-arse coach. He feels like he is a much better coach in reality than he is. He feels like kids should be beating down the door to come play for him. He and his cronies, all of which he took to Florida with him, neglected O Line recruiting and WRs as well. We very rarely got shut-out so any loss we had he blamed on defense.
If he isn’t blowing a team out by half-time you might as well bring him a coke and a box of popcorn. He is nothing more than a spectator at that point.

Once the wins start piling up, recruiting will be fine. Remember Kerwin Bell was a walk on, along with lots of other great Gators. Stars don't determine greatness, coaching the players that want to be great does, no matter how many stars they earn in high school.
