I bet the FSU coaches troll this board heavy. It seems like every recruit we're going after or that we had committed has change their mind all of a sudden... A lot strange things have been happening lately.

Boosters watching FSU practice

"Boy, #23 runs like a deer, who is that?"
"Alex Collins. Guy is a horse. Could be the next great one."
"Well, who's that small guy over there?"
"Oh, that's his best friend, Sprinkles. He's 5'5, 144 pounds with a prosthetic leg."
"Hmmm.."
"Yup"

I don't think any of these prospects (Coley, Collins, KB, Thomas, Green, Kirkland, Williams, Bostwick, etc.) are 100% to anyone right now. In the next couple weeks, they will flip flop what's best for them, multiple times. It's all about closing, something AG has shown a knack for. I'm sure he's got a plan and will play all the angles. If we see it, they see it. The news sucks, but we'll see how things play out.

Nothing is set in stone, but the giving scholies to their buddies thing is going to hurt us. These kids are naive and foolish. They dont know any better. People here thinking that this is going to bite FSU in the @ss? Why? They can just cut the JAGs next year and send them home. Not like most of next years kids are going to know jack about it. There are lots of ways coaches can shove kids out the door without it being overt or scandalous. By then they have the kid they want, and they know that kid isnt going to transfer now.

Why it hurts us, is that Coley is not some UM die hard kid.. He's probably about evenly split right now, so anything that helps tilt the odds in FSU's favor is going to hurt us. I just hope Al is ready to fight dirty against Jimbo. If we do lose kids like Coley over these "package" deals, I hope he keeps tabs on all of it, and uses it to F8ck Jimbo next time he pulls this sh8t, because you have to believe Jimbo is going to cut those "buddies" loose as soon as he can.

Package deals rarely work. Honestly the only time I remember it working is with Jamie Harper and Clemson. Coley will be a cane.

The thing I hate about it is that it seems like the type of things So Fla kids would do more than any other area of the country. The diva factor is off the **** charts down there.
 
All you need to do is look at this:

and then this:

http://espn.go.com/nfl/players/_/position/players?college=497

Why would any RB or WR think they have a better chance to get to the NFL at FSU than at Miami?

Even our recent, non-stud WRs and RBs from some of our worst teams in school history -- Damien Berry, TB3, Javarris James, Laron Byrd, Tommy Streeter, etc -- found places on pro teams. I don't see nearly the same kind of production at FSU.

Both schools have hot girls, great (albeit very different) nightlife, Miami's academics are far superior, and FSU's gameday experience is far superior. But if you want to make it in the NFL, you play at Miami, it's as simple as that. The rest shouldn't matter.

Hope Collins & Coley both make the right decision and play for this U.

The 2 for 1 deals FSU is handing out like candy may hurt us now, but it's guaranteed to hurt them later. It's a practice and precedent I'm glad we stay away from.

False

FSU will push the frineds out of the program either by seitching their positions or redshirting them to Bolivian.

FSU will not allow John Franklin, Estime, and Jackson to remain on the team past this season. Scholarships will not be renewed I imagine. They've done it before.

So as kids hear about FSU's willingness to put their boys on, they will start requesting scholarships for their friends in exchange for their commitments. FSU is a few years away from 40 good players and 40 guys who should be at FIU.

The funniest thing that could happen is all these dudes come to UM and FSU has a handful of kids they don't want but are stuck with.

FSU won't honor any LOI that are faxed in without the LOI of thier blue chip recruit friend's

Package deals regularly never happen.

Ariz needs to bring us some good news for once. Starting to sound like Criag Langston on FSU site.

Update:

"FSU is landing everyone, no scholarship limits".

LOL

UNLIMITED SCHOLARSHIPS ONCE WE CUT YOUR FRIEND AFTER NEXT YEAR!!! WELCOME ABOARD!
 
Im sure the Golden one is telling Coley exactly what we are saying on here. Al will play the game with James Coley and Jimbo
 
As great as it would have been to get coleys commitment, doesn't the whole commitment idea seem so flawed now? Honestly it doesn't matter to me that he didn't commit because it wouldn't have sealed the deal on us having him sign come feb 1.

That's not me bashing coley, he's my dude and honestly he's one of my top 3 favorite recruits in this class I really want this bad *** ****. I hope these kids, like another poster already said, realize how great the U is in terms of putting kids in the league as well as our bright *** future. **** our future is so bright I can't see my hand on front of my face.

These kids need to see that golden turned down the Wisconsin job (which, believe it or not guys) is just as good if not better them ours right now with sanctions looming and an empty *** stadium.

These kids need to hop on board, and we need them too, because were about to be a force to be reckoned with. So pumped for what the future holds.

Btw message to Keith Bryant:

Ummm.. Lets go man? Why troll us so hard when you could be the staple of the class? We need a DT and we know how good you are but these antics are not that cool and quote frankly they're pretty disrespectful to the progr that was built by some of the best to ever play the game. Commit to us, or go elsewhere, but don't try to embarrass our program because you are not bigger than it.
