Why Mullens recruiting is concerning to UF fans

63.2% of the 5-stars UF signed since 2002 have made Post-season AP All-SEC teams. For 4-stars, it's 16.3%. For 3-stars it's 3.8%. My eyes can't ignore that.

I'm glad you asked. Haven't broken down 2018, but in 2017 (when only 10 5-stars went rd 1), 5-stars were over 3 x more likely to be drafted (overall )than a 4-star, 200 x more likely than 3s, and 3600 x more likely than 2s and under. 72% of 5s were drafted, 23% of 4s, 4% of 3s.

Of Mullen's signees at MSU, 100% of his 5-stars (1/1) were drafted. 19% of his 4-stars (7/37), 6% of his 3-stars (11/178), and 8% of his 2-stars (1/12). No surprises here...

Of Mullen's MSU NFL draft picks, the overall avg round selected was 4.1. For 5-stars it was 2.0, for 4-stars it was 3.8, for 3-stars it was 4.7, and for 2-stars it was 4.5. So consistent with other data-sets I've pulled, higher star bands are drafted higher and more often.

While there's an prevalent view that Mullen depended on lower-rated talent, this suggests that his ability to develop NFL players at least partially correlated to their recruiting profile ratings.
