Coach Mullen has a history of coaching up 3 stars and fielding good teams! If we have a winning season and win a bowl game I think we will land more blue chip talent in 2019. I was very happy with the momentum we had after the early signing period but I think Mullen has to prove he can win here to attract more recruits.

Definitely, and it's not all 3* talent. Most of the guys actually on the field are an array of decent players going into next year (especially on defense, they just had lackluster coaching and in the end, almost none at all).

I think we'll be fine next year, but we'll obviously need a lot more bodies and talent to get back into the thick of things.

I'm not always down on 3*s, and I definitely think they can be coached up. People don't realize that Taven Bryan was a 3* offensive line recruit in 2014 -- but I think a big point is just overall leadership and motivation.

Whatever happened to McElwain, you can just see how little he wanted to be on the sidelines. Literally had no fire, so what I'm hoping is Mullen can get some slept on, underrated 3*s to complement what we already have.

Even if we don't land another WR recruit -- Toney, Van Jefferson, Grimes and Cleveland is a stellar crew, TE is shored up, RB is amazingly stacked and the OL needs a body or two.

On defense I guess I'm worried about the line a little? I mean, we still have the bodies (need a backup or two more) so we'll probably end up having to start true freshmen in 2019, but at this point I think Mullen is probably going to be a little hamstrung coming in late and Florida being in a serious 10 year decline.
