It's a loss, no way around it. The coaches prioritized Briggs far more than they did the guy from nowhere that Brock now says had better film than Briggs.
Today on paper, the DL recruiting is a mess. It has been a mess since Kul got here, by far the worst on the team.
Just the other day, people penciled him in here. Now that he's gone, the dialogue is that he was always going to FSU.
Nobody wins every single day in life. Why is it so hard for a lot of you to admit a loss???? There isn't any need to spin it, it is what it is.
So what do you consider a loss in recruiting? If by your definition its a kid that we wanted even though he was an uphill battle because he clearly OPENLY favored another school the ENTIRE PROCESS then you might as well stop following recruiting because we will be habitual losers every year according to you. Briggs is not a loss to me. Hes not a SoFla kid. And he favored FSU the entire process and didnt hide it one time. We took our shot and missed.
Tyson Campbell is a recruiting loss. Chatman at this point is a recruiting loss. Nesta would have been a recruiting loss. PS2 is a recruiting loss. Briggs and Peters are not. They are casualities of recruiting war.
It really isn't difficult to say what a loss is and there really isn't any room to split hairs over what the definition is.
Time, effort, and money. That is what recruiting is about. We have invested all three in trying to land Briggs. We lost him to FSU, its a loss.
Will there be bigger losses in recruiting? Sure, but Briggs was a priority and he won't be here.
We've had almost nothing but losses here under Kul and company. Nests is great, but what if he gets hurt? This position is razor thin that it's almost laughable that they can't seem to get people to fill those spots. I hope there's some surprises come signing day or some big transfer news.
