I don't think his words hurt us at all. What I think hurts us with him is this kid has been recruited by now 3 seperate wr coaches in the last year & 4 total if you include stumble****... We have to show kids stability if we really wanna Excell. As I said I think relationships matter more with this kid from what I've seen out of him and the two times we talked. I know he loves Mario and I'm hoping gattis is everything he's said to be. I haven't had a chance yet to chop it up with him. If he is then we've still got time, but we gotta stop allowing any negative recruiting by showing consistency and winning. That'll go a long way in general.

And that’s why Mario been putting out that “don’t commit to a position coach, commit to the school” If he loves Mario I like our chances cause everybody knows Mario ain’t leaving anytime soon. Gone be a beautiful sight when Mario shoves Bmac in the locker for some of these south Florida WRs.

WTF can Donk Duggans say to him?

“We ain’t got no offense, we ain’t got no QB, all our WR’s suck & you ain’t gon get drafted, so come to FSU & waste a year so you go in the portal after witnessing this dumpster fire up close & personal..”

“Oh and our Head coach is getting fired this year too, so I’m probably not even gonna be here..”

“Coach Haggins’ll be here though, so that’s good..”

The real question is: When Memphis Mike gets canned, does FSU give Haggins the interim sombrero or Randy Shannon? My vote is for Shannon. He'd be the first person to ever be head coach at UM, FSU and UF.

My two cents and alot of people won't wanna hear this, it's either UGA or fspoo. But there's a ton of time for gattis and Mario to get right with him and if he's a priority we can repair the relationship. What bmac did hurt us alot with this kid because you can tell with him it's not as much about the schools as it is the relationships. Dugans is a good recruiter and a very likeable dude for these kids. Bmac will play on the relationship he was establishing here and chunk some bread at him. Now we'll see what kind of recruiter gattis really is.

WR was like the number 1 priority for FSU in the 2022 class.

Dugans missed on literally every single target. Went 0’for.

He’s not a good recruiter.

I love Hykeem, but even local HS players/coaches don't consider him a complete WR. He's a go-route specialist. And people talk about him being kinda soft, like he doesn't respond well to DB's getting physical with him.

I know when we played Stranahan, he coincidentally hurt himself in practice the day before, so he sat out. (who hurts themselves during a Thursday pre-game practice?) Maybe it was just a coincidence. But I can tell you that nobody was surprised.


Yall get hyped off of highlight tapes and don't know what other traits these kids have behind-the-scenes.

Innis scares people. And he's a bully at WR. He's tough and ultra competitive. He's been dogging varsity competition since 8th grade.
Hykeem is not in Innis' stratosphere as a total WR.

This. this, this. .... and this.

it's why evaluations are not always about what's on a highlight tape.

All it means is the kid may need sometime. Doesn’t mean he’s overrated. Imo it’s obvious the kid raw but highly talented. If he enrolls early with a year without much pressure, he’ll be good.

I don’t think so either but based on the film, I THOUGHT I had seen a big fast physical kid that needed refinement but I didn’t see soft.

U can't just have a go route u better develop routes cause that's how u get open. Who's to say he's even high on Mario's board? We will know when recruiting really kicks off cause Jeans a keeper and Innis over everyone.

Hykeem claimed Mario said he was #1 on their board. Now Mario might have been gassing him about #1but I’d assume he is in fact high on our board

Can't go wrong on any of the big 6...It's really that simple. 4 pure WR, 1 a possible APB, 1 a possible corner

2 Expected...3 excellent...4 of the 6 an absolute home run.

Ya I think Inniss is the safest and best. But any of the 6 are huge gets...Honestly the Lakeland kid is in that group too if you can get him, and Fowles isn't far behind.
 
I forget the kids name but hes the wr on same team as Young I believe. That kid is another kid that I wouldn't be mad at if he got offered. Kids tape looks great.
