4 Star OT from the Coast. Flipped him from Miami.

The Red Hawks from Ohio would be so pissed if Mullens was still our HC.

Amazing how well you can recruit when you put forth effort and know how to connect with recruits and their families. When we first hired Coach Joe my thought was that if he could recruit half as well as he coached our program would be sitting pretty. Now I'm thinking if he coaches half as well as he recruits we are going to be making a LOT of national waves over the next few years. :)

I don’t really think we’re doing anything revolutionary here- just putting in the work and demanding that everyone on staff gives a **** about building relationships on the recruiting trail. It’s amazing what can happen your entire offensive staff isn’t exempt from those responsibilities and are held to a standard. Everyone else on our campus can recruit at a high level (baseball and both basketball programs)- there was never any reason why we couldn’t be a competitive football recruiter as well.

Joe is more personable than Dan, but there’s no reason why our former coach couldn’t have done better in that respect. He spent too much time making excuses because our limitations, when in reality he and his staff were the ones that were applying those limitations more so than any other factor.

He settled. Like he retired the day he got the job.

Ill tell ya this, the UF faithful will ultimately decide his fate. We will see the deepest of strain from him there. Or he will join Renardo, bagging groceries.

5 of our commits have UF offers. Only 1 of UF's commits show an offer from us, and that is Jalon Jones, who I think was Mullen's QB we passed on in favor of Shrader. I am enjoying this.

Just like the fact that we have heard nothing from JoMo....No stupid *** fishing pictures, no silly *** “swag” can drawings....just business as usual.

This is just IMO but.....I believe JoMo is very aware of how far we have come/where we are as a program....the steady rise of the SEC as a whole....and the IB expectations. This is where we are. Either recruit like JoMo has, or stay exactly where we are, which is (at best) 3rd in the West.

JoMo is obviously very spatially aware. Not sure Mullen ever had that quality.

Hells yeah. I may start following and liking recruiting again. Some obscure 4-Star recruit who has never visited Oxford and will never end up stepping foot on their campus is about to get paid!

JoMo also grew up in a household that valued hard work. Good blue-collar upbringing. Don always seemed the type of northeaster who was born privileged and arrogant. Having to constantly fly all his Uranus college buds down to congratulate him on his accomplishments was weird. Why not seek the gratitude of the people of Mississippi? Nope, he couldn’t stoop to “our” level.

Right. We all know both programs are going to sign 12-13 3-star players. Just getting the 4-stars out of the way so we can start focusing on the 3-stars later. **

Cohen can actually evaluate a coaching candidate as a coach and recruiter. Not many can, even former players and coaches like Cohen.
