Are you assuming we don't land TV?
I'm assuming we don't land anyone worth getting excited about on NSD, i.e. TV, JC, Gaillard, Ross, etc.
Until he wins 6 games next season.

You know its bad when its hard to tell the difference between the Work and blackverns Bleak Visions.
Like I said the school is trying to claim. Perhaps there is some appeal.
you know i don't understand why everyone is THIS gloomy this offseason.
yes the bowl game was bad.
sure the team threw away a shot at the ACC championship game.
and sure our rival won the national title.
but as far as recruiting goes, we were on a false high last year until signing day where we got kicked in the nuts.
this year, we are just getting our nuts kicked a little bit earlier.

No...I'm simply saying Golden has failed in recruiting PERIOD. I'm not saying Corn is a bad player.
Guy is a HORRIBLE gameday coach. If you want to sell me on a model where you can win in spite of a horrible gameday coach by supplementing the situation with knock out recruiting...I still wouldn't be thrilled but I'd at least withhold judgement.
Now we have a scenario where the underqualified and substandard gameday coach isn't killing it in recruiting...it's a recipe for 3-4 more years of being stuck in mediocrity.
When you take into account how LOADED south florida was this year...this class is an absolute, postive disappointment. Anyone who says otherwise is blindly defending the fat guy.

Top 10 is considered a fail?
This isn't a top 10 class if we miss on all the remaining targets.
We will let you know on Thursday which hurts more.
I'm ****ed as **** at the state of this program too, but this class is not a disappointment. If guys like Thomas had come into the class in December instead of June, people would be talking more about them.
Where this team has struggled is at QB and then non-glamor positions. This class is very solid with Kaaya, McDermott, Darling and Thomas being MAJOR gets up the middle at positions we desperately needed. The class is not the home run that it could have been had we closed another running back and Valentine, but it is sitting at a solid B-B+ right now. Tone down the rhetoric a bit.

Class is still a relative disappointment when you consider how loaded our own backyard this year. This is one of those years where we should have had a top 5 class , even by accident.
When you can't coach...I expect you to recruit like an animal. Recruiting like an animal doesn't mean missing out on ELITE players in your own backyard. If we have any hope of overcoming the deficiencies of that crappy *** defensive scheme a "solid" or "good" recruiting class isn't going to cut it.
They did, and the NCAA said no.

There was an article a few days ago that stated the school was still had hopes that decision would get reversed. In was in the Herald I believe.
Not sure why people are bashing our recruiting class when it's in the top 10 in the country. Should it be in the top 2 coming off a 9 win season, where FSU won the title? Just seems unrealistic to think that anything besides top 3 is an utter disappointment.
Understood, didn't know they already ruled. My bad.
Completely agreed, it is a relative disappointment. We should have had Valentine. We should have JC Jackson. We should have had ONE of Dixon/Lane/Rudolph...we should have had ONE of Michel/Cook...etc etc.
But it isn't an "absolute, positive" disappointment. That would be true if we hadn't gotten blue chips at QB, Running Back, Pass Rusher, Left Tackle, Right Tackle, etc. Essentially, if it was the class of 2011 all over again I would agree with you.
