What's really sad
Is I believe if we were to check, Croom probably recruited as many or more offensive players that made the league (and stuck for a little while) in 4 years than Mullen has in 7 years.

Favorability for croom is higher than Mullen here it seems. Jeez

My memories of croom was ...20 pts offensively would be a godsend.
we just gotta give the defense some time.
What is football?
Driving down field to score game winning field goal? Typical, so yes, it's football.
Giving up 14 pts in the 4th quarter? Typical for the loser in football. Those things will improve.
What is football? Going into the big game like Chad Jelly, the best QB in the nation, so they say, just to lose the game for your team. Interceptions, fumbles...miscues and rattleness
It's ok everybody.
I laughed til I cried about Jelly but I understand our problems.

Then you will tell me well at least Ole Miss is playing top games and I understand your point but how bad would they be if they weren't with the players they have ...it simply matters in success or fail
I could have thrown the ball better than Jelly in 4th quarter of that game. To beat ole miss is to mess up their timing whether you Florida or Florida state bc they so used to doing it in a quick way. Then the errors come.
We just screwed around and didn't win the USA game. I think we can improve tho.
I was saying all night jelly was wanting to throw about 6 or 7 interceptions that night.

What is football? If you score off turnovers and pressure/rattle and that's your intent, you will receive more turnovers and win football. So, we have to learn how to win while we improve in the various ways.
Whether you are top 10 or unranked, you know what must be done.

This is just assinine.

Actually croom was a solid recruiter... He was just an awful coach.

Huh??????? Horrible recruiter and even worse coach. Nice man though. I enjoyed talking with him and he was great talking with kids.

I couldnt understand a single bit of what he was saying Im glad you could
-
Sherrod, Gabe Jackson, Anthony Dixon. On Mullen's side: Dak, Malcolm Johnson, Vic Ballard. These are just the ones I can think of. It's very close I think.
-
Obvious troll is obvious. But...for shits and giggles (and off the top of my head)
Croom: Gabe Jackson, Anthony Dixon, Justin Jenkins, Derek Sherrod
Mullen: Dak, Malcom Johnson, Ballard, Clausell, JRob, Dillon Day

3 of croom's played under Mullen. Would they have made the nfl under just croom? Perhaps, perhaps not

JRob hasn't "stuck" for any length of time. And remember this is 4 yrs vs 7.

ok, if we are going to play that game then you have to take AD and Sherrod off of Croom's list.

Both have been on the official roster of a team, traveled with them, etc. for at least 1 year I believe (and I think more than that). I don't believe JRob made even a year did he?

Pretty sure he was on the colts roster all year and was cut this offseason

So, I guess we would be better off with croom? Is this the point of the thread?
-
No. The point is that Mullen & Co hasn't put forth the same effort as even Croom did (IMO) in recruiting. Have you ever taken time to look at our "Targets" list every year. It's pretty short compared to other teams. And almost never do they shoot for a 5 star player. Maybe that will change with the newer staff (Sirmon, TBuck, & Co.).
ETA: The other point is that the Oline & RB recruiting has been pretty poor overall. WRs are ok, but we still haven't had a receiver that could separate well down the field (Ross maybe a little). QB - struck gold with Dak.

Seems like Croom was the reason we got most of the good players from the 09 class
