Tears Nole Tears (“Offcial”)

everybody wanted the players THEN. They simply worked extremly aggressive and consistently back channelled guys in the portal or INTO the portal. Thats how they grabbed Darrell Jackson from us they had him locked in probably weeks before we even realized.

For some reason folks thing the portal is NEW....No kids could always transfer.

The issue is.......The portal isnt hs recruiting...it isnt playing the long game or the way Mario likes to do it. Its sa sped up form of recruiting...you get in to contact the kid (or back channel the kid) and get him an NIL offer or a ball park to see where its at thats before even a visit.

For example im going to use us as a case (if i was on the recruiting staff)
We lose a few edges....Mainly we lose Alston at that JACK SPOT. We have a guy currently progressing in Moten at dt....just so happens Moten has a close friend who plays end at Texas adjacent sec school and is a terror of the edge...There e should be no reason this kid shouldnt have a FEELER OUT CURRENTLY for that particular kid.

Verse said Mike Norvell was the first coach cto contact him in the portal. Thats why they got him


You are correct, the Portal is not new.

However, certain coaches were "early adopters" (Prison Mike Norvell) and some coaches are "never Portalers" (Dabo).

I'm not knocking F$U working hard and being aggressive when the (not new) Portal exploded at first. But what I am saying is that F$U did not have the same rapid and aggressive COMPETITION from other schools that they NOW FACE.

You are also correct, the Portal is speed-dating. Mario's coaching hires and high school recruiting have shown him to prefer a long, romantic courtship. Perhaps we need to delegate the Portal game to another coach.

I can’t even put it into words how bad it is for Mike. They shouldn’t fired him, there is no recovering from this. They are now years behind.

He has no 2025 class. No portal kid will want to be there and his roster is straight 💩

Haha this is simply amazing
Anybody on his roster worth anything will leave to the largest NIL offer they can get, even if it means taking a pay for from the Noles.

What's happening at FSU is literally a sinking ship.
 
I absolutely wouldnt mind taking Conrad Hussey and Edwin Joseph as GoGeta already said. And both probably wouldnt mind coming home either.

I’m just amazed by the ineptitude of this coaching staff. They said they want to get back to recruiting high caliber players and then develop them, but they just can’t. FSU is have about 15 recruits, mostly three stars and they will struggle.
 
Take their dbs from soflo if they pass the “screening process” as I don’t want any fspoo stink ruining our situation. Hussey and Joseph if they are actually good. But literally they don’t have another guy I’d want.

Of course the ncaa probably made up a rule to prevent it . I hate them POs
I don't know that the rule actually prevented it. He was an on the field coach at that time I think so should have been legal. The rule as I remember it just applied to off field staff recruiting former high school kids they coached. Think we just whiffed or we wouldn't have wasted the time recruiting him all year.

I loved his high school film. Apparently did good year 1 and struggled year 2 at FSU. They said he was a headcase and had a penalty every time he was on the field. Headcase bit could just be sour grapes coming off a lousy team this year. Wouldn't hate the take, has upside.
