I know they have two guys in their secondary that were committed to Ole Miss but our checks didn't clear in time for Nutt to seal the deal.

Don't underestimate how much weight Charlie Strong's name has in that area... One of the few names that can go in there and get some premium talent.

My problem is that after Mullen came on board did we get anybody from FL? It's like we hardly recruited there at all. Bridgewater is from Miami, had offers from everyone and for some reason chose Louisville.

Apparently Mullen didn't have any influence with Florida recruiting when he was there, or if he did, it didn't benefit us any when we hired him.

And that baffles me. I expected us to sign at least 3-5 FL guys his first couple of years using the connections he had to take some guys UF wasn't interested in

Well, we did get Bumphis out of the deal. He was likely Florida bound until then. Mullen really only gets involved with select recruits.

Nice to know. Thanx. Is McGriff at TSUN in that same investigation?

Don't know, but there are a couple of names on Saban's staff who have been mentioned.

Mizzou's basketball coach has been named as well. The fact that all of these guys are still coaching leads one to believe nothing will ever come of it.

John Harris and Brandon Holloway are both from FL...

But you're right... Mullen hasn't gotten near the recruits from Florida that I hoped for either.
