Did they really think they were getting him? When is the last time a highly rated MS kid went to Florida?

They just hired Dan Mullen. They’re gonna have to get used to being disappointed by recruiting.

The arrogance is astonishing. Some cannot fathom how anyone with a UF offer would eve choose Miss State. I am so going to love it when we kick their *** this year.

A lot of these people don’t understand that the town a school is in is way down on the list of considerations for most of these kids. They usually go where they have a relationship with coaches/players and can get playing time. Many of them want to stay close to home so family can come to games. Of course, good facilities help a lot, but these kids don’t really care if the town has a Panda Express or whatnot.

Magically the other day one of my YUUUGE Florida alumni co-workers informed me he doesn't care about recruiting anymore.

I live in Orlando.

Why should he? The wizard can turn 2’s into 3’s and 3’s into 4’s. Voila.

Your post is a backhanded swipe against Starkville. I love the town as much as the school. Its home. People who run down starkville have never been, or haven't been in years.

I am in oxford a lot and if starkville is a **** hole, so is oxford.

His UF teams can probably be better talent wise than his MSU teams developing Florida 2 and 3 star players over MS 2 and 3 stars, but he'll run into the same problem he had at MSU having to play FSU and UGA every year similar to his struggles with Bama and other elite recruiters.

I think he'll have much less 2 stars at UF than he had at MSU, but don't doubt for a second he'll still be signing projects especially on the offensive line.

Yea, it's way past time for the ******** narrative continuously promoted by our

rivals to the North to die! Starkville is a great college town.

If the great state of Mississippi wasn't good enough for McStuffins, then he needs to keep his *** out. I here Florida has plenty of athletes to recruit. Hell, all ACC coaches live in Florida during recruiting.

McFluffin was so well regarded by MS HS coaches*** (laugh) that he had to hire a few former HS coaches on his staff to smooth over the in state process, especially after his in state ringer (Hughes) left for JSU. I guess he is too scared to rebuild those relationships he had with FL HS coaches when he was on Urban's staff.

I didn't even read very far down in that Gator thread and saw him referred to as "Marlin" and "Muddin", it's caught on there too

I lived in Oxford for two years. It is basically Sardis without the lake.

I agree with your point but I also agree with his. Adults put too much stock into the town when it comes to recruiting athletes. For example, I always laugh about OM folks citing tailgating in the grove as a big pull for football recruits. They don’t get to tailgate dubmasses. The same goes for the square. A lot of the athletes can’t afford a night out on the square unless they receive illegal benefits.
