“It’s not the fact that they went to visit other quarterbacks, but it was the fact that I didn’t get hit up, or a call, three weeks into it,” said Corral. “I know people will say, ‘Oh, they didn’t want you.’ That’s not true. I was going to sign the papers that day, the day they told me I was the guy. So, I got the feeling that I was the guy only because nobody else wanted to be and I was just the backup. It doesn’t really matter to me, but it was about where I genuinely wanted to be and where I was genuinely wanted. I was stuck on the fence. Yeah, coach Mullen could develop me into a quarterback, but if I really want to go where I want to go, I’m going to get there. Not having a certain coach isn’t going to stop me from going where I want to be.”

“I told Florida I’m the guy. Don’t recruit anyone. I said we’re done,” said Corral. “Coach Mullen said ‘We’re done recruiting. You’re out quarterback. You’re our guy.’ Alright, set. I’m thinking about it all night and it just didn’t sit right with me. I just felt like I didn’t make the right decision. I called Florida the day coach Luke came by. They were hitting me up when coach Luke was there, but I wasn’t really responding because he was there. I hit Florida up later that night, but nobody picked up. I don’t know if they felt something was going to happen, but none of them picked up. So, I sent them a text saying thank you for all of this and everything, then I de-committed and committed to Ole miss.”

Just like I said.

This is a very odd sequence of events... It reads an awful lot like Mullen's word isn't good for shite if I'm following. Admittedly, it's conversational speech and doesn't flow super well out of context like this... but if we turn that into simpler versions:

1) Corral was "the guy" by default - no better options... but he was OK with that
2) They agreed that he would be "the guy" and UF wasn't recruiting any other QBs
3) Florida didn't answer his phone calls after clearly continuing to recruit Emory Jones

Not a big deal, but not a huge endorsement for Mullen's "relationship building" skills...

Oh this is fricking beautiful. Mullen pulled this shite all of the time at MSU. He'd get butthurt that one of his commits was accepting a visit from an OM coach and proceed to blow up his phone during the visit. Then after the visit, he just ignores them because he's pissed about it.

He acts like a bitchy female desperate for attention.

This happened about once a year for the last probably 6 years.
