I always felt that Mullen’s inability to pull top 20 classes is why we never could get over the hump and upset a top ranked team here and there (minus the Dak phenomenon but really those early high ranked teams ended up being average)

One thing you are failing to see is that Mullen’s success has lead to JoMo being able to recruit higher level kids.
People laugh when I say this but Croom created the basis/the foundation that Mullen built upon. To Mullen’s credit, he slowly recruited better and the program got better over the 9 year period he was here.
The success of State over these last 10 years now, the plethora of NFL players that we have produced, the facilities, the stadium refurbish/expansion have made us an attractive destination for better players and the recruiting is reflecting that.
To his credit, JoMo is taking advantage of that. The other thing, you are not ever going to get all the players that you target but the staff has seemingly done a good job reeling in most of them.
Hated to lose Hud but recruiting wise we should be in good shape with Tony Hughes coming back on board. He is a tremendous Man and Coach.
