I thought recruiting rankings dont matter

FL’s problem has been recruiting in general. First requirement to being elite is elite recruiting.
QB hasn’t been that bad. At least under Mullen.
But very good recruiting only gets you so far in the SEC.
Ok, I thought they had a good season with Kaaya, maybe not. That Rosier Miami team was actually pretty bad. They beat a bunch of bad teams by 1 score every game
I really don't know how Will Muschamp managed not just one, but he got TWO Head Coaching jobs in the SEC. Florida has made some curious coaching decisions, though I thought Mullen would be a home run.
This is also why the idea that collectives are going to stop buying QBs that rank as Top 50 recruits if one or two don’t hit is silly.
It’s the most important position. You’re going to keep paying for the most important position, at a ranking level that gives you an extremely high hit rate at that position. Even if you miss.
Mullen’s problem is he always sucked as a recruiter. And the UF brand can only make up for that so much. But it’s not going to allow you to beat out Ohio State or Bama or UGA on the trail, because then the brands cancel themselves out and the sellers take over.
I don’t care what school you’re at, you should have the reputation as an elite recruiter. The results should be elite relative to that school. If they aren’t, you aren’t all of a sudden going to get a personality just because you’re now at a bigger school.
Oddly enough though UF went in a completely different direction with Napier and their fans are freaking out because he’s also getting his ass kicked on the trail.
At this point it’s starting to look like administrative incompetence.
I think the cost of a cant-miss QB is going to go up. Let's say Trevor Lawrence is in next year's class. You mean to tell me he isn't worth $30 million for 3 years? $50 million? You can only buy so many lockers and new carpet.
Arch Manning is the highest rated recruit ever. He is the “Lawrence.” And no reports are out there that he commanded that kind of money.
I’m sure he’s getting a lucrative deal, but he’s more of an exception to the rule considering his family is financially set.
The coaching staff must really suck to play that bad with all this bought talent.
Is Ruiz asking for a refund yet?
How is that climb to top 5 status going? Asking for a friend.
Miami recruiting rankings last four years: 31, 12, 13, 35.
That's an average if 23, plus a coaching change to poor head coach. They aren't anywhere near a top 5 team.

Their fired their coach to hire a guy who got crushed by Utah twice in the same season, with the talent and resources at Oregon. He's not the coach for them.
Hire Leech or Gundy and it's another story for the U.

Ohio State is clearly 4th until they can prove otherwise in the big pretend
Eh.
They beat OSU last year with him.
Oregon fans, even when Cristobal was there, pointed to this being the year that they would compete for the playoffs, because this is the year his recruiting would completely dominate the roster.
It’s not a shock to see them do well this year.
My only point is Oregon didn’t suck last year.
They beat a pretty damn good OSU team on the road and played for the conference championship.
I don’t think this Oregon team is so much better than last year’s.
This year’s team just looks like a team that ranks 7th in the Team Talent Calculator, with the best talent now being upperclassmen.
