Moorheads first 3 classes (2020 isn't done yet, but going off the current ranking) SEC average is 9.33. We aren't gaining any ground on our peers, we aren't losing any ground on our peers. What that means is up for interpretation. My take is we are going to have to develop players as well as Mullen did, which remains to be seen, and scheme/coach in game as well as he did, also remains to be seen, to keep up our current 8 win type average we have had the last decade. Moorhead is recruiting a slightly better player on average-.8765 for first 3 classes to DM's .8696 last 3 classes.
The 2018 class belongs to Mullen....just saying
