I think the reality is that FSU probably needs to double its NIL spend the year to right the ship. They need a portal QB next year and heavy investment now in high school players to attempt to make some late, overwhelming outbids. Or skip the portal and use most of their NIL to go after high school kids and “resign” core existing players. Consider 2025 a rebuilding year where they try to develop a new OL and get Luke up and running as their QB.
They can spend a lot, but one of the issues they don't want to admit is prison mike isn't very charismatic. The gift of gab goes a long way. He doesn't have it. If you don't have it as a HC, you need to make sure your staff does. For a non-charasmatic HC to have a robot like Randy Shannon on staff makes absolutely zero sense. He might be a *****, but that newberg guy touched on it the other day. fsu staff does not do a good job building relationships with recruits and their families
