Question not just for you Straws, but UF is getting beat up pretty badly on the Rant about poor recruiting how does this stack up?
Also, I heard Mullen speak at our county Gator Booster club, and his philosophy of seeking out less than elite players came across loud and clear. He believes firmly that he'd rather have a 2, or 3 star player that has a chip on his shoulder and something to prove and will bust his butt to earn playing time than a team of 4 star primadonnas that don't feel they need to put in the effort. Does the board feel this plays into his current recruiting "slump"?

The Rant says he only goes after easy targets.
Gators fans say he should be going after easier targets.
The thing to remember is that this site is pretty negative in general. I don't think the staff is very concerned right now, and it's extremely early in the cycle. If he has a successful year on the field then we'll be fine. But we can't expect to fix a 9 year problem in 9 months.

There is the problem that we had under Mac. UF needs to have a team of 4 and 5 star players with chips on their shoulders. That is what Bama has. Saban has built the program to find, get, and develop the most talented players.
2 and 3 stars on a overall basis are not as talented as 4 and 5 star players. There a few exceptions but they are exceptions that are rare enough to not beat Bama.
I do see Mullen going after 4 and 5 star players. They are showing up to campus. Just need them to sign for the good guys.
