F$U Recruiting Class

Canes2082 said:
Id also say wait till the big boys in recruiting come after their guys..

Wins over Jax St, UMass and Syracuse aren't gonna move the needle...

theyll possibly lose to Louisville, Wake Forest, NC St...

We will beat them, UF will beat them, UNC, ND, BC and Clemson may score 100...

Dabo hasn't forgotten that **** they pulled last year. He will have Clemson pumped and completely embarrass them. FSU will be the new decommit U.

The Noles are putting together a really nice class on paper (emphasis added). They currently have two 5 Star recruits in Travis Hunter (absolute baller) and Sam McCall and just recently added an OL from IMG who was being pursued by several SEC teams. They might also benefit from landing several highly rated legacy recruits from South Florida as well.

I recognize as soon as they start losing games, especially those games where they are expected to win, their class will fall apart. Ironically, it reminds me of our classes in the past that were ranked Top 5 or so heading into the season and then we would suffer 3 or more consecutive losses and the decommitments would pile up. We did that for several years.

I do not expect F$U to finish with the #1 class in the ACC. But, we cannot ignore the fact that Norvell has quietly assembled a staff of very good recruiters. That cannot be denied from what we have seen so far. Norvell has added several South Florida connections and the program undeniably made an early impression on Kelly and currently has Mortimer (an underrated but very good WR) committed. They are effectively selling playing time to big time players and it is working despite the product we all saw on the field last year and the spring game. Ultimately, success on the field has to be shown or players will stop buying into the story they are being told.

With Taggart, I was never worried because despite his early success recruiting (remember those corny "ring ring" tweets), he did not give me the impression that his staff could develop players and Taggart did not have a history of consistent success from prior stops. Norvell did more with less at Memphis and his offense was exciting.

There is no reason to panic because we don't know if FSU's current recruiting success is sustainable. It is much too soon to determine if Norvell and staff can develop these players. With that said, we need to keep our enemies close and do our part in keeping them down.

I think the exodus starts preseason. We and others have so much ammo to recruit against them. These kids will see the light.

Hunter is not flipping. The rest may flee but he will stick it out. He’s solid enough that other boards- UGA and Bama - acknowledge it. It was said on the UGA board by a poster who knows of the kid that he doesn’t take Kirby or Saban’s calls.

I can respect that kind of loyalty. Same as Duke. Unfortunately Duke never played on a great team and neither will this kid

Not worried about potentially one great class. They need 3 solid classes in a row to get out of the current dumpster fire they’re in.

Who says that they can beat Jax State, Umass, and Syracuse?
 
They were bound to get a new staff bump at some point. I don’t see McCall sticking and I’m actually shocked hunter has to this point.

The big thing for me is Norvell may improve the offense but he’s never really had a good defense. Think about most of his teams at Memphis, they had to out score teams. Just don’t see that happening which will lead to a lot of losses.

They had 2 kids decommit after attending their spring game. That is how bad it was. What the **** do you guys think is gonna happen when they start playing against decent teams during the regular season?

FSU can't even beat FSU.

Come on, man, settle down. Sam McCall is already heavily rumored to be leaving the F$U class.

Also, please stop the Norvell Fellatio. He didn't build Memphis. He (somewhat) maintained Memphis on a semi-occasional basis.

I wouldn't care if some of the F$U recruits stick with F$U because of not being massively concerned with the losses, but I'd be surprised if most of their recruits stick when they see F$U give up easily in most of the losses.
