Biggest Recruiting Misses?

Dalvin Cook. He was the reason FSU beat its in-state rivals for three straight seasons.

Period.

But at least we landed his teammate Joe Yearby I don’t remember, was Cook ever really interested in us?

Yes. It was always going to be a tough battle-- and we recruited Cook hard-- but it's worth nothing that James Coley preferred Yearby.

They aren’t misses if we recruit them and they don’t want to come.

then what are they????

I can remember numerous posters on the old site YELLING at me "YEARBY IS BETTER!!!! HE WAS THE STARTER AT MIAMI CENTRAL GUY!!!!!!!!!!!"

Devonta Freeman

Amari Cooper is the biggest one because he started an entire culture of elite south Florida wide receivers going to bama and being first rounders. Ridley jeudy and now brooks. Just my opinion but I think that miss has the biggest impact long term

this ... kids gotta see it and amari showed it, he went got drafted and then it's been off to the races ...
cook was another one ... i don't think anyone knew he would become what he became

the bosas hurt too

Devonta Freeman

I sort of remember Dalvin Cook saying Devonta Freeman going to FSU was part of the reason Cook chose FSU.

People don't think 1 guy makes a difference but look at the list I posted. We get get 4-5 of those guys (Dalvin, Teddy B, PJ, Amari) and we will be talking many more wins.

We never had a chance at them

For me it's the local stars who potentially could have put us over the top and back on track. Teddy Bridgewater, Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy, Sony Michel. I think the first 3 really could have opened up eyes locally for 5 star kids.calvin

calvin ridley also

I’d say Cook based on how badly he killed us. The negative is we probably would’ve had Golden around a few years longer. Bridgewater is up there too.

It all started with the blatant bribe for Patrick Peterson. His father is a scumbag.

Patrick Johnson, that was an odd recruitment

We need camp szn & June recruiting to get here already. Between the weekly “recruiting sucks not just now but for the last decade too” threads & gooner throwing ***** on the wall in every other thread, this place is more insufferable than a mental asylum right now.
