2015 (6): Milo, St. Louis, Jones (JC), Loftus, Mahoney, Gauthier

Mario's 2 months class:
2022 (4): Cooper, McCoy, Denis (T), Sagapolu (T)

Can't wait for these guys to get here, we need them...
2023 (5): Mauigoa, Tripp, Lew, Kingsler, Tinilau

Projected Returnees prior to portal and NFL Draft:
T/G: Nelson, Rivers, Campbell, McCoy, McLaughlin, Washington,

Hopefully 6 with Samson

Just garbage recruiting

BUT BUT OUR BLUE CHIP RATIO

 

[mirvin88]

What a disaster. Realistically Mario probably has at least two more seasons to just get the roster close to par.

 

[Yoyo82]

What a disaster. Realistically Mario probably has at least two more seasons to just get the roster close to par.

He'll have turned over 75+% of the roster by the end of this portal cycle in May..
26 last cycle (15 commits + 11 portal)
40 this cycle (25-30 commits + 10-15 portal)

That's 66 new players in 18 months. 66/85= 77%.

Just garbage recruiting

BUT BUT OUR BLUE CHIP RATIO

Our blue chip ratio is bad when looking at the lines. Two on the OL: DJ and Seymore

Atrocious OL recruiting.

A monkey with a dart could have selected better linemen.

 

[Gi0logy]

We need a big time OT transfer in the portal IMO. Instant impact veteran that can stabilize the line. Mario can completely turn over this line in the next 30 days.

LT - Transfer/Campbell, Samson, McCoy
LG - Rivers, Traore, Kinsler
C - Clark, Denis, Lew
RG - Cooper, Sagapolu, Tripp
RT - Campbell/Mauigoa, Tinilau

Transfer/Graduate: Chris Washington, Laurence Seymour, Zion Nelson, DJ Scaife, Justice Oluwasean

12 months into the job that would be a really nice transformation but depth is still concerning considering the youth. Would be another year away from really having a solid line.

 

[supacane]

This is the route of our offensive issues. One thing about Golden he knew offensive linemen.

 

[Rellyrell]

I would like to know John Campbell’s & DJ Scaife’s QB Pressure/Sacks Allowed & Run Blocking/Pass Blocking grades. Scaife is supposed to be our highest ranked OLman, Campbell was raved about as a sleeper, yet these two have looked atrocious.

People make more excuses for Scaife that any player I can remember

Man I never forgave Scaife after what I seen Will Anderson do to him last year

 

[supacane]

Scaife is terrible.

It wasn’t even Anderson who smacked king

 

[Odysseus]

It wasn’t even Anderson who smacked king

Oh it wasn't I know it was Scaife who gave up the sack

 

[88]

Scaife might have been a decent center like he was originally projected if our O-line wasn't such an abortion.

We need a transfer replacement for Clark. He just doesn't have the body/athleticism and there's even a drop-off when he's out.

 

[BoxingRobes]

OL recruiting has been horrendous. Legit negligence.

We've had one of the worst OL in the ACC for years now and these guys have played a lot together...and never got better.

We've been plugging holes with mid G5 talent, too. Justice Oluwaseun and Jarrid Williams were average players at the G5 level and they were starters and regular players for us for more than one year. Transfers like Isaiah Walker, Osmane Traore, Tommy Kennedy and others were attempts to cover up poor recruiting and none provided us with much of anything. Most of the freshmen that Justice and Diaz recruited were very far away from contributing.

The OL is in bad bad shape and outside of the players Mario and Mirabal got...maybe Rivers is the only decent building block.

 

[Highline17]

26 last cycle (15 commits + 11 portal)
40 this cycle (25-30 commits + 10-15 portal)

That's 66 new players in 18 months. 66/85= 77%.

We are also in the ACC (atleast for now) it should only take a single full class + bump class to get up to par

 

[M3N]

If FSU can flip their OL… anyone can. This current OL class is good. Need to the same again next season

By far the single biggest factor in FSUs turnaround is the OL play. If they lose Adkins it will have a huge impact
