Mullen cannot recruit or just prefers sloppy seconds?

This is weird.

You should tell OSU Fields is trash. I'm sure they will listen.

Also Jefferson and Greenard just got drafted pretty high. Guess their production meant nothing since they were transfers(just like the last Heisman winner)?

Dumb thread.

I'm fine with rejects if they are as productive as Greenard

Every school should and does use the transfer portal. UF does use it more than others though. Probably a mix of Mullen’s mediocre recruiting, freshman leaving immediately after arriving at UF, and shark humper leaving roster issues.

We are notoriously too cheap to pay.

Hey. If it continues to work I won't complain.

He has done very well getting high production from transfers so far. Lingard and Cox I'm pretty exact about them as potential studs. Shorter I'm a bit more skeptical of. We shall see. Never hurts to add talent at positions.

We def need to land depth at RB this cycle though. Greg Knox is such a bad recruiter.

Pretty smart especially if you're not a great recruiter.

Let someone do all the hard work of signing guys out of HS and sell em on your roster deficiencies once they're in the portal.

Hell,does OU even recruit HS QB's anymore?

To my knowledge, we haven’t used it. We’ve had several (maybe 6-8 enter it including some Sumlin holdovers encouraged to enter it) but we haven’t received any players from it. Aside from a few JUCO players, all our kids are home grown and developed. So no, not all schools use it.

Other Ags or anyone knowing different - pls correct me if I’m mistaken.

Also I don’t believe Saban’s used it.

Kind of interesting why some schools use it and some don’t. Wonder what the thinking is behind that.

Let's see his portal pick ups so far

Van Jefferson
Jon Greenard
Trevon Grimes
Adam Schuler

All 4 played big parts in finishing top 10 last 2 yrs

Portal is his new miss jucos only it's a lot easier getting real deal talent

Just because a kid didnt work out at another spot ie Lorenzo Lingard Justin Shorter Jordan Pouncey Brenton Cox etc

You assume they will suck. I know but we shall see I'm sure u woulda looked at Greenard last yr and thought meh. Still he was a monster when healthy and was first team all sec


Mullen is 4/4 in the portal. I think he knows what he's doing.

He's recruiting fine

Once he finds his QB we good

He had Dak back to back first team all sec and if he had the D talent we are currently bringing in and better skill players who knows


Recruiting snobs lol Mac Mac would take guys with the worst offer lists ever. Not happening anymore thank god

He's done an undeniably fantastic job coaching tho 2 different QBs in 2 yrs 2 NY6 bowl wins

21-5 after taking over basically Tenn level talent

Some are proven

Reese I feel has proved himself starting for 3 yrs

Or u can see what talent they had going into college

Like Cox Lingard Shorter give em a fresh start and do what the last coach couldn't or wouldnt

Get the talent out of em

Sounds like he lost his starting spot at the end of the year.

Still, he has a ton of experience and showed a lot of success in run blocking.
