Is Mullen more attractive to recruits?

[Achilles]

Let's be unbiased. Do you guys really think Pruitt's going to be more attractive to a recruit vs. Mullen?

It's obvious he can't hold a candle vs. Saban or Smart but now we have to compete with Mullen too.

I see Georgia and Florida out recruiting us year after year.

 

[The Orange Pants]

Recruits signed up to play for Butch Jones and Derek Dooley. I think Pruitt will be fine recruiting wise.

UGA will easily out recruit us this year simply due to stability and the run they are having.

Mullen looks better in Jorts.

 

[Volfan76]

Butch out recruited him...you do the math.

 

[BeaverCleaver]

Mullen doesn't love to recruit. He did OK at MSU. But if you look at his tenure there, he was much better at player development than recruiting.

 

[Shakinthefat]

Mullen probably can recruit a better QB than CJP.

 

[zidanefan]

Pruitt has proven that he knows how to recruit, and he’s been working under the head coach who understands recruiting as well as anyone in the country. Color me not worried.

 

[CAVPUT]

The reputation our fan base has is well deserved. Incredible.

With Georgia I think it's the sheer Quality/Quantity of recruits in the state. We have to recruit Georgia well

no. knoxville out recruited starkville.

When has Mullen ever been considered a great recruiter? Not these last 9 seasons, and I don’t remember him being regarded as such at Florida. He’ll do fine because it’s Florida, but I don’t have any dreading sense of foreboding.

Some people dig a slick head. Some prefer a full head of hair. You can't account for taste. I prefer blondes, so neither is attractive to me. But what do I know about today's generation.

so you start with a question, implying you don't know the answer, and yet draw a conclusion that everybody will be better than us.

sounds like you've already convinced yourself what the answer is.

But how does he look naked humping a shark?
That should be our comparison point for all Gators.

 

[Vol_Doc]

I hear his hunchback is really attractive to recruits.

 

[VolArmy74]

It doesn't matter, Florida will have top classes, Tennessee will have top classes. The question will become, is Mullen a better coach than Pruitt? As of now there's no logical way to think any differently than that he is a better coach because no one has any idea how Pruitt will be as a coach.

 

[Smoked Cheddar]

Do we want recruits who find Mullen attractive? Just asking........

Ha! Touché. However, would they have chose them over Smart or Mullen or were they just not recruited by them because they weren't good enough...

Care to explain why you think he can't hold a candle to Smart? He's in the exact same position Smart was in 2 years ago.

Is there something wrong with that...

Not really... If you add the years up, he only coached under Saban for 2 years vs Smart's 6 years. I would say that's a substantial difference.

True... I guess Butch was able to recruit top classes. But we do have to consider, "at first", he was able to talk the talk and that attracted A LOT of recruits. He just sucked once he got those recruits in Tennessee uniforms lol.

Can Pruitt talk the talk? I'm confident he's by far a better "coach" than Butch.
