If Mullen doesn't get credit for the talent on campus, he shouldn't get blamed for misses. Can't have it both ways

Remember the melt over Tobias and Snoop? That was epic. Biggest one ever was CJ "Daddy said your word is your bond" Johnson though.
If anyone thought an SEC school that's got deep pockets and people committed to cheating was going to plummet in recruiting they have another thing coming. It will hurt them and slow them down some, but they're not about to sign a class full of 2 stars. They'd risk the death penalty before that happens.

Misses are on thing,
Never being in consideration is another
If you want to argue Mullen is a solid coach then that’s one thing
But if you want to try and defend his recruiting you just need to stop.

Correct.
Plus the smart boosters there know they got off with a slap on wrist but make it sound like it was the apocalypse. That’s well played

Also note, with AJ Brown they are only going to win 6 games maybe. No one they have committed is as good as that dude.
AJ is the best WR from MS in along time, maybe ever...

Same with any non-Emery RB, or any low 3* OL we take late. I'm letting the staffs' own actions tell me who's the best players, and I'll judge our final class by how far down the board we have to go to fill out the class
We can be targeting a lot of receivers, You don't know where any of them stand on our big board.

Guys who commit to South Carolina are probably more interested in attendance and W-L than OM commits are, for example. Our recruits are being sold on building a SEC contender, and so if we somehow went 6-6 we'd lose more recruits than OM would going 5-7.
Now, will some OM recruits be turned off by the on-field performance? Maybe a few. We can hope Mingo is one of them. However I don't think it'll be a big deal overall for the class
And prostitutes. Don't forget the prostitutes for the kids.

Does it suck absolutely, but, there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. Either our recruiting will pick up again before signing day or it won't.
One thing we do know for sure is that the staff we have now is busting it on the recruiting trail and that is all that we can honestly expect from them. That and winning football games. I assure you none of the coaches are throwing in the proverbial towel. Some of these recruiting battles are far from over. Let it play out and once the dust settles lets see where we are. No point in freaking out in July.
The season cannot get here quick enough.

Amen. Momentum comes and goes. Hopefully ours comes back, but if for some reason it doesn’t, it isn’t for lack of trying.

Forgot about Rice. He could easily have a great NFL career, time will tell.

All I know is we have fallen to 19th in recruiting and they are at 11th while on probation.

I don't think I ever said it here but I thought he was overrated in high school based on his film. I think that about all WRs though. In this instance I was wrong. I think he's the best WR in the country now, at least that I've seen.

Eric Moulds was a faster and more athletic version of AJ Brown. AJ doesn't have the speed to lead the country in kickoff return yardage. I have yet to see AJ catch a jump ball with his cleats even with a DBs stomach. Moulds also ended up as the #2 all time Bills receiver behind that hall of famer Andre Reed only without a Hall of Fame QB throwing to him.

Better than Jerry Rice? I doubt it.

Case in point- most of our highly recruited players were on the defensive side of the ball. Which is the side that the country club as not on.
