Who is considered Mullen's "signature" recruit in his tenure? Ballard?
I'm sorry, but Chad Bumphis is the most overrated player on our team. Take away that dropped SURE touchdown pass to Chris Smith today and he's our #1 receiver. I don't care what anyone says. He's the tallest AND most physical, and that's not mentioning he comes through in the clutch. Hell, I'd put Arceto Clark and Brandon Heavens over Bumphis, and I'd put Ricco Sanders right there next to him.
Not a signature recruit... Did he considerably help us as a true freshman? Yes. Without him we wouldn't have won that Ole Miss game and those wins would have been a lot closer. Down the stretch of his career? He never got much better.
Mullen doesn't have that signature guy yet. I'm hoping and praying that Dak Prescott is the next Griffin III like people are painting him out to be though.
Give it time. I'm looking forward to some staff changes at the end of the year that should completely change the development of these guys we've been sleeping on for the better (I'm looking at you, Keonning.)
