From NOLES 247 board:
I don't think the scenario of McCoy departing the class is as likely now. I'm told the strength of McCoy's commitment to FSU has improved a sizable amount. That's due to a few factors...
McCoy is in communication with the FSU coaching staff more now than ever before. I'm told recent phone calls with head coach
Mike Norvell, wide receivers coach
Ron Dugans as well as other members of the staff have gone over extremely well with McCoy. That's not the only thing that has improved FSU's chances of keeping him in the class.
I'm told a Facetime call took place between a few of FSU's top 2024 commitments and McCoy. I've confirmed one of the members of that call was FSU's newest and most highly-ranked pledge, five-star defensive back
KJ Bolden. The communication between McCoy and other members of Tribe24 has also been positive in helping FSU's attempt to prevent a flip.
I think another vital factor in McCoy's recruitment is that FSU was one of the first big time schools to heavily recruit him. The 'Noles extended him a scholarship in July of 2022. UCF's scholarship bid didn't come through until a few months after. Miami didn't offer until January of this year.
While my feeling on the strength of McCoy's pledge has shifted, I don't think his recruitment is shut down. I expect him to continue to field interest from other programs and wouldn't be surprised to see him get on a few other campuses this fall. Nevertheless, the recent intel on McCoy is an encouraging sign as the 'Noles look to hold onto the nation's No. 161 overall prospect and No. 11 athlete.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if McCoy is in attendance for FSU's neutral-site season opener against LSU on September 3.
