They’re very much shaken up by Mullen. They have to tell themselves stuff like this to sleep at night. They know what’s coming.

They certainly know we are getting closer, we still have to get back to beating them every year for life to go back to normal though. We’ve given them way to much to talk about lately. I hate losing that game.

I thought it was cute multiple UF players stated they were not prepared and over confident vs UGA last yr., that's on the HC.

Can you link something that says they were not prepared under Mullen? I feel like that’s not true at all.

You can be a bad recruiter and still grab top 10 classes while at Florida.


You sure about that?

Florida recruiting class ranking by year:

2019: #11 (currently)
2018: #14
2017: #11
2016: #12
2015: #21

Yes, in theory its easy to assume Florida will always sign a Top 10 class with very little effort just because of their close proximity to recruits. But reality shows the Gator program has found a way to still NOT be able to attain that goal for the past 5 years and counting.

Thats 3 Mac years and a transition class. Let’s wait till February and then 2020, 2021, 2022. I bet they are all top ten.

Your link doesn’t work

Edit: I found it, you have one comment from a receiver saying practice was lazy and they didn’t prepare well. So you got me. It doesn’t sound like he was blaming the coaching staff though. It sounds like bad habits from a previous regime. That won’t last forever. Fair enough though. The truth is you had way more talent and it was Mullen’s 6th game.

That’s because Jim McElwain was a terrible recruiter

All your hours of research on Florida and you didn't get the answer?

Grade-F

Take the class again.

It sounds like Freddie Swain didn’t prepare well, I already posted fair enough. It doesn’t seem like an organizational issue though especially with the way we finished the season. It seems some guys slipped into some bad habits that week. If it continues I’ll be concerned.

He is on the verge after his first full year at Florida. It isn't unreasonable at all to think he will be just a tad better with more connections made each year.

He’s obviously talking composite. We have several guys that had 5 stars on a single site. He’s not wrong it is an issue. But it’s one that is already being fixed.

Georgia wastes so much talent it's not funny.

Plus, Dan Mullen is getting some 5-stars in the next couple of classes.

I have to ask, how does it feel to lose to Treon Harris and "inferior" talent?

If we beat you guys this season, what does that say about you if we have no 5-stars?

FYI: Our "non 5-star" team finished ranked the same as you in one poll and ahead of you in the other.

You better take advantage of the last bit of Muschamp and McElwain left in this program.


You guys produced a shitload of draft picks between '14
and '17 29 Draft picks including 6 #1's.
2nd only to Bama.

Mullen would KILL to produce NFL talent at that pacs and I HIGHLY doubt that he will

I never get the lack of talent narrative that many Gators put out there pre Mullen.

ow does florida plan to stop swift next year? Uga's entire oline is back minus their center, where theyre getting an improvement in trey hill. I think swift averaged 9 yards a carry last wlocp

I guess we just have to hope Kirby fakes a punt and let’s us back in it. We’ll see how it goes.
