More than recruiting, I'm concerned about Florida taking the next step this year and next year. I want to see that 9-3/10-2 turn into 11-1 and competing for SEC Championships and Playoff spots. I don't want us to fall content with (not trying to take a shot) the Richt style of 9-3/10-2 on a yearly basis without being able to take the next step.
Considering the context of the program, I'm okay with Mac's first two seasons. More than okay, I'm excited with the first two seasons. I truly think that when Mac gets solid quarterback play, we take the next step from winning 10 games to competing with Alabama and FSU, etc.
As far as the argument you and straws have been having, I haven't tried to defend him because I honestly don't care to compare star rankings. It's comparing different players who have played under different coaches and different systems with different jobs. It's not worth comparing guys by their recruiting rankings. It's stupid to justify who had better players based on stars ranking. It doesn't matter how talented UGA was last year vs. Florida in 2015. Different teams, different years, different circumstances. It's more important that head to head, Florida has been better than Georgia by a fairly wide margin the last three years. Is that because of a talent gap? Coaching gap? Probably a combination of both. Regardless, I think it's a dumb argument to make that "Florida had a combined 14 stars on the starting OL and Georgia had 19" or whatever the argument was. That doesn't take into account for former 3 star X whos now a junior and was a first team All SEC or former 5 star Y who is now a sophomore and has been horrible. It's an imperfect science and comparison that is settled once a year in October
