Will Muschamp: "Recruiting's Kind Of Like Shaving..."

And the classic quotes keep coming. Will Muschamp on recruiting, via the Orlando Sentinel's Rachel George:

New one from Will Muschamp: "Recruiting's kind of like shaving. If you don't do it every day, you look like a bum."

That is, of course, exactly right! Also, if you cut it too close, you can end up bleeding, and if you go without doing it for too long, things get hairy.

Jokes aside, I'm glad that Muschamp keeps talking up recruiting in his various trips to Gator Clubs across Florida. We may all realize that Muschamp and Florida might struggle in 2011, but if he can at least establish the Gators as a force on par with Jimbo Fisher's resurgent Florida State and Al Golden's rejuvenated Miami on the recruiting trail, the future will remain very bright for Florida football.

It's not quite Muschamp living up to the reputations of his lippy predecessors, but I will take it. And I can't wait for his next bit of home-spun brilliance.

I’ve heard a version of that from Trooper Taylor, who said that recruiting is like shaving because if you don’t do it every day, people notice. I have a feeling it’s an old phrase that surfaces every once in a while. There’s not way that Auburn’s towel boy is clever enough to have come up with that.

Tooper Taylor. I’ve always wished the Gators would pick him up and throw him somewhere on the staff.

The take that I heard:

UF’s offer was not legit as they want to see more of Kirby. He is very small right now and not a great player. But the plan was to commit tonight, Muscham would not give him the green light to commit, so he chose Miami— a place that just offered and where he has not visited.
