re: MSU fans were right about Mullen

Uh even with them and langham it ain't top 10

The change to more athletic offensive linemen that legitimately need a year or so in his system is what will take the most time. We shite on Hevesey for 9 years, and to be fair the dude straight up shite the bed on multiple highly rated OL recruits. Specifically Dion Mix and Scott Lashley, kids who grew up state fans and were stone cold locks. He blew up and dropped one too many F-Bombs on Mix for taking a visit to UCLA, Gus and Freeze both played the good old christian man angle and he flipped to Auburn. Then with Lashley they literally just ignored the kid because they thought he was a lock, all it took was some love from Saban and he was on his way to T town. That being said, Hev is an outrageously good coach. He will take whatever you have and they will absolutely manhandle front 7's. There is a lot of movement and the schemes are complex though, which takes time to install. So it's easy to rip on him for poor recruiting but you will be absolutely satisfied with the product on the field.

In regard to QB's, people quickly forget that he was literally having to cherry pick guys based on leadership qualities and athletic ability. Both Dak and Fitz had to be taught basic throwing mechanics. He didn't start bringing in elite QB talent until two years ago when everyone realized he will put you in the league.


The other thing is Mullen's goal of having 10+ guys catching TD passes, it takes a few classes to develop that type of depth in your route runners. Frankly State never fully got to that point because of recruiting hurdles, we had a grand total of two 4* WR's that I remember in 9 years, that problem doesn't exist at UF.

You will compete, he was competing with top 25 classes, it's foolish to think he won't do better with top 10's. It probably won't be in year one, but I can promise you a relatively small talent gap isn't enough for UGA or anyone else to run away from him. But you're also going to lose some frustrating recruiting battles.

Tough luck, bitch

Rumors is that Hevesy did something similar while visiting NPF. I hope he is as good of a coach as you say. Tired of watching "5*" OLs get torched.

At WR, he has already recruited 2 4*s and picked up Jefferson and Grimes as transfers.

Then you will wonder wtf happened in the UGa game. where was the offense that you had seen all year? It's his MO in big games

Yep, about the 5th or 6th time he runs the QB up the right tackle’s butt for no gain on 3rd and 4, you’ll realize he’s not really trying to set something up, that’s really all he’s going to do.

Poor guy is lost since his buddy oleyeller got banned.

What I would look at is how Mullen did on recruits that weren't committed to UF prior to his hiring. It's much easier to keep a recruit that's already committed than to recruit a new one.

We're 4th in the SEC in a transition class with only 19 players. What on Earth are you talking about, TJ?

This isn't even including Van Jefferson or Trevon Grimes. We might also get another recruit before it's all said and done.

That's not incredible, but it's at the very least impressive.
