So with all the recent portal action, I started to think about FSU and the state of their program. We all know they had a historically bad year, misjudged their portal guys, and ended up having their HC take a pay cut because they couldn't afford to fire him

I think they don't care about anything other than getting out of the ACC tbh

This brings me to now, they grabbed a slot WR, 5'9" QB who got demoted at Boston College and largely had more names portal out than in. In short, are they just broke now?
I'm stunned they didn't try to land a better QB?

I like Castellanos more than most on here. He didnt fit Bill O'Briens offense at all. That was never going to work. He will fit Malzahns offense much better therefore he will raise FSU offense and floor. I like their 2 WR portal guys big outside WR Robinson and slot WR Squirrel White. White could start at slot for us right now, wish we wouldve gotten him.

I really like their DC Tony White. He will elevate the defense even though they lost some pieces on defense.

They open with Alabama, then they have @Clemson, Miami, @FLorida. I think those 4 are losses. Other than that they drew a decent ACC schedule. No Louisville, no GT, no Duke, no SMU.


@Clemson
Miami
Pittsburgh
Wake Forest
VT
@N.C. State
@Stanford
@UVA

I can see 7-5 season for FSU.
 
Duce Robinson was a great get. I also think Castellanos will be decent. They’ll be fine. Probably a bowl team. Maybe a little better than that.

Free Shoes been broke as a joke for awhile now, where you been? Their entire basketball squad is suing Ham for getting stiffed on their NIL payments. Also, Castellanos quit on his team halfway through the season so he’ll fit in perfectly in Tallahassee.

My best friend is a FSU fan so I’m always hearing about them. They’ll definitely have a better season, how better is the question. I see them going 7-5, or 8-4.

I feel your pain, partner. I’m surrounded by delusio-NOLE fans on a daily basis at my job. Over the last couple of weeks they’ve gone out of their way to brag to me about their elite portal class(like last year?), their incredible QB pickup(like last year?), and their excitement and belief that next year will be different. As long as cornrow Mike is there nothing will change, which is good for us. You would think our two biggest rivals would be a tad more humble after the absolute beat downs we inflicted on both of them, but they’re actually doubling down on the stupidity. One things for sure: After a season which was one of the worst in their entire program’s history, there’s nowhere to go BUT up.

Clarification - They have 6 more commits so maybe that’s why. Not sure how they calculate it. Our avg is higher though

we have the 2nd highest average slightly behind Oregon in terms of quality in the top 10. Getting XL will probably push us over the top.
