Here's a quick translation for those that didn't get it:
Northrup has been to FSU various times throughout the season. They weren't recruiting him until recently and have been using sanctions as negative recruiting against Miami. Miami didn't pull his offer, and they didn't mind him looking around at other places including UNC and OSU. However, because of the personal nature of the negative recruiting against Miami, they were not happy with his official to FSU recently. Since that is the case, they are taking a devil-may-care attitude to his recruitment, indicated by the fact they have not really followed up with him since his visit to FSU.
In other words, if he comes, great. If not, no sweat off our backs.
