Rising Spear concludes at The Battle's End.
 
Going thru a lot of FSU videos and comments, they weren't happy with the recruiting and didn't understand after coming off a 10-2 and 13-0 seasons that Miami, Tenn, Florida and Auburn were out recruiting them. Cause they suck


They weren't happy WHEN?

Was it right after they signed everyone, and they were ecstatic over their rankings, and they were ****ed off at Mario for pointing out that they were so reliant on transfers?

Or was it right after they lost their first two games and realized that they couldn't dump all of their portal flops in favor of their high school recruiting class?

What don't they understand? Their coach doesn't place the same value in HS recruiting.

I'll tell ya, if I'm a college athletic administration I'm not giving anybody an extension until they are successful with two different QBs.
 
Funny how “culture” is now a huge problem this year at FSU when last year it was their big selling point. It’s almost like culture is always bad when you lose and always good when you win.


It’s their own fault they allow players to strong arm them for NIL money because they have no other option. Last year, we had to throw a bunch of money at TVD to keep him around because we had no other option. This year we let a pretty solid starter, Colbie Young, chase a bag to UGA because we have guys who easily replace him. If you don’t recruit depth, you get stuck having to overpay for mediocre players because you don’t have any other choice.

Exactly. Culture is one of the dumbest talking points ever. Yes, if you have a bunch of me-first kids, you're probably not going to have a good team. You need leaders. But more than that, you need good football players to be good at football. You know what breeds good culture? Winning. You know what fractures it? Losing.

FSU isn't losing this year because they have poor culture. They didn't win last year because they had good culture.

They're losing this year because they have a lot of really ****** football players playing major snaps.

They won last year because they had a lot of really good football players playing major snaps.

Funny how that works, isn't it?
 
FSU fans, I mean writers, are obsessed with “Mike’s culture.” Don’t you all remember the articles written last year that Jordan Travis wished the backup QBs good luck in the ACC championship game. Culture!
Who’s a leader like Travis was on this team rn? They have no one even remotely close to the team mindset that Travis brought and it’s all falling apart

We saw the ****** job that Slingblade Billy did with his "#6 Ranked Portal Class of 2024" last week. Disastrous. Barely any of that Gator Portal class saw the field, and if they did, it wasn't to do much (sorry, Pup Howard).

So now let's take a look at Prison Mike Norvell's SemenHole Portal Class of 2024, which was ranked #7 (just behind The Gator) with 17 transfers (just one more than The Gator)...

1. Marvin Jones Jr - Edge - Georgia - 4-star transfer - 0.9300 rating - FIRST STRING - 77 snaps - ONE TACKLE, ONE ASSIST
2. Jalen Brown - WR - LSU - 4-star transfer - 0.9200 rating - FIRST STRING - 68 snaps - THREE CATCHS FOR 26 YARDS
3. DJ Uigalelei - QB - Oregon St - 4-star transfer - 0.9100 rating - FIRST STRING - 116 snaps - 40/69 FOR 465 YARDS, 1TD/1INT
4. Malik Benson - WR - Alabama - 4-star transfer - 0.9100 rating - FIRST STRING - 73 snaps - 7 CATCHES FOR 72 YARDS
5. Roydell Williams - RB - Alabama - 4-star transfer - 0.9100 rating - FIRST STRING - 51 snaps - 15 RUSHES FOR 48 YARDS, 1TD
6. Shawn Murphy - LB - Alabama - 4-star transfer - 0.9100 rating - OUT
7. TJ Ferguson - IOL - Alabama - 4-star transfer - 0.9000 rating - "OR" STARTER - 52 snaps
8. Earl Little Jr - CB - Alabama - 4-star transfer - 0.9000 rating - SECOND STRING - 19 snaps - TWO TACKLES, ZERO ASSISTS
9. Sione Lolohea - DL - Oregon St - 4-star transfer - 0.9000 rating - SECOND STRING - 46 snaps - ZERO TACKLES, 3 ASSISTS
10. Tomiwa Durojaiye - DL - West Virginia - 4-star transfer - 0.9000 rating - OUT
11. Jaylin Lucas - RB - Indiana - 3-star transfer - 0.8900 rating - SECOND STRING - 18 snaps - 2 RUSHES FOR 13 YARDS
12. Davonte Brown - CB - UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI - 3-star transfer - 0.8800 rating - SECOND STRING - 56 snaps - FIVE TACKLES, TWO ASSISTS
13. Cam Riley - LB - Auburn - 3-star transfer - 0.8700 rating - FIRST STRING - 50 snaps - NINE TACKLES, EIGHT ASSISTS
14. Richie Leonard - IOL - Florida - 3-star transfer - 0.8700 rating - FIRST STRING - 116 snaps
15. Grady Kelly - DL - Colorado St - 3-star transfer - 0.8700 rating - THIRD STRING - 30 snaps - TWO TACKLES, TWO ASSISTS
16. Omarion Cooper - CB - Colorado (from FSU) - 3-star transfer - 0.8600 rating - OUT
17. Jacob Rizy - OT - Harvard - 3-star transfer - 0.8600 rating - OUT



So FSU, which had MASSIVE losses to the NFL draft last year, and has had terrible HS recruit development, needed a massive infusion of talent.

4 guys who have not played
1 third-stringer
4 second-stringers
1 "OR" first-stringer
7 first stringers

While F$U did "better" than Florida in identifying starters (as many as 8, compared to 6 for Florida), those starters are:

Marvin Jones Jr - terrible
Jalen Brown - not heavily targeted
DJ Uiagalelei - terrible
Malik Benson - fine for what he is
Roydell Williams - fine for what he is
TJ Ferguson - terrible
Cam Riley - playing half the snaps, and outperforming everyone else on a per capita basis
Richie Leonard - starts and plays every snap

So, yeah, F$U is ALSO fuuuuuucked on their Portal Class this year. Yes they have starters, but their starters SUCK.
They're chasing star ratings in the portal instead of actual on field production like we got in the portal.

Culture IS important. A winning team SHOULD have a good culture around it. It may not be the most important factor, but it is a factor.

But both UiF and F$U are using "culture" as a crutch. A few weeks ago, they were telling us how wonderful everything was. About how Slingblade Billy had created such an amazing family-friendly culture, and how everybody loved everybody. And Prison Mike had created C.L.I.M.B. and had instilled such an amazing culture that it led to a (fake) undefeated season.

And then after a couple of losses, they try to tell you the culture is toxic and broken.

Yeah, "culture" doesn't change that fast. And if it DID, then the culture was terrible from the beginning.
