Thanks for sharing Peruche. I'm a bit surprised to see that Mullen is leagues ahead of Willie in the recruiting game. Coming in I thought it would be the exact opposite, but man.... has Taggart struggled to close, even on lay-ups like Jalen Hall (3 star declining FSU to go to OREGON??)
With that being said, as is evident by our top 5 class, Richt's team is squarely in the driver's seat in the state of Florida. So much to be thankful for in this program right now. Would be foolish not to enjoy it.
What Richt has done in such a short time is beyond impressive. I didn't even think it was possible. Turmoil at both instate programs helped but he locks up his class early, cherry picks a few studs to focus on and gets a jump on the next class. Impressive stuff.
But the part I find so interesting is the Willie/Mullen debate. I too believed that we should have feared Willie much more than Mullen on the trail. But it has been quite the opposite. i think it's a combination of Mullen having experience recruiting against the big boys, sustained success at Miss state and because he coached at Florida a "coming home" feel similar to what Richt has here.
Willie on the other hand looks overwhelmed. His offers are all over the place, his tweets/edits are embarrassing, kids don't trust him and his resume lands him a tick above Al golden in the accomplishment rankings. He's lucky FSU has talent on the roster already.
