-Stacy Coley was NEVER offered by the staff. They are still in the stages of "evaluating" his character issues, which the staff is very concerned about. So basically, you can completely forget about him being in this class.

-95% chance there are no receivers in this class other than AJL. Cunningham does not have an offer.

-The staff heard the rumblings of a possible Matthew Thomas silent to FSU like a lot of people have, but looked into it and found out it was a bad rumor as we have suspected.

-Throw the possibility of AJL possibly playing some DB out the window. He will be a receiver all the way here.

-This isn't a surprise, class will DEFINITELY have Prep/JuCo guys at the DL. The staff has made this a priority and is currently in the evaluation stage for a bunch of these kids.

-Something else we've talked about on here, but don't expect very much movement with the class until around signing day. The staff is pretty much wrapped up with 2013 except obviously holding onto Collins, staying on Thomas, and the D-Line stuff I mentioned. They are already focusing on 2014 for the most part.

Thomas just doesn't seem interested in us from what I have seen in videos or read. Maybe he is trolling us.
 
So does that mean no kirkland in this class?
Really wish Cunningham was in the mix he's a smart kid good character guy.. I guess remaining schollys going to Dline and that's it.

With the holes on the DL I am all for just taking AJL this year at WR. Until that side of the ball gets fixed we won't see any progress in the W-L column. Not to mention 2014 WR class is much stronger.

Didn't ask about Kirkland, but last I heard he is still a Cane in all likelihood

There is still a lot of dead weight on the team that quite frankly can not play at a high BCS level. Golden should be signing 20-22 kids and let a number of them go...i.e. Rodgers, White, Williams, White, Perry, and Crawford...

What is the personal stuff with Coley? Just lazy, or extra curricular stuff?

Don't think it's anything extracurricular, just overall attitude and laziness, like you said.

Look, there's no doubt the kid is an absolute STUD talent-wise, I just don't think the staff can take a chance on a kid like this who is so high-risk, high-reward. Limited scholarships lead to tough decisions that need to be made.

I like all of this.

Not a Cunningham fan and I would rather Bains scholly get used on JuCo guys. People love Bains upside but he is very underwhelming a la Grimble IMO.
 
I'll believe AJL plays receiver when I see it. Our secondary needs help more than our WR corps does.
 
I'm currently on the field, and cunningham as well as Sonny are sure getting the vip treatment from golden and staff. Long conversations with golden, and those two were the only recruits i saw treated that way.
