I agree! I wouldn’t give up on any of the local kids till the ink is dry. But this should be a layup. No excuse here. By the way, hire a read DT coach!! The fact this program can’t land elite D tackles is beyond belief.

FSU’s NIL budget this year is actually less than it was last year. But it’s reliable and being wholly subsidized by one guy out of Atlanta.

Last year they had a ****** class. Their portal class was strong as **** if that counts also in this.

When I was in HS I was a very tall, dark handsome young man. I played sports, had the gift of gab like nobody's business. The girl's want to be with me (all the fine ones), because, as I said, I played football, basketball, baseball and excelled in all 3, not to mention I was gorgeous. Bo Nix' grandfather was my HS football coach. So one day my buddy says, "Bro, which one of the cheerleaders are you going to take to the prom? Well, I wasn't so great in the classroom but the teachers passed me (barely) so I could play sports. I ain't the greatest with the books but I made out OK. Thank you Lord. Long story short, I was about to fail this geometry class and I would not have been able to play, but this rather (uh hum) large girl said "I'll make sure you pass if you take me to prom." So I said to her, Nah, I won't take you to prom but I'll date you all the way up until prom". So I did. The school was in bewilderment but I kept up with my part of the deal. When it came prom time, I took the finest chick in the school. Sound familiar. That's what you call insanity.

FSU has dramatically upped their bag game.

If FSU lands Patterson, then, to me, it’s undeniable proof that we’re currently behind the ball in NIL and that the loss of Ruiz is hurting us big time.

I suspect that’s the reason we’re doing much worse this cycle. Winning will help some, but winning doesn’t replace $10/mil a year.

It was ten mil a year when this started. If our budget to pay current players and recruits is not significantly higher then yes we are in huge trouble. Hopefully it is.

Norvell was a dead man walking after leading them to their first back to back losing seasons in 40 years. His 3 classes were ranked 18, 19, and 20th. But all is forgiven after one good season and recruits are back on board? I call bull****.

One good season and some upward trajectory is all it takes. Hopefully we can find that out for ourselves.

Buddy is renovating a golf course too. Think it’s a $14M project he’s financing himself.

Yes. Got trashed on here before my last ban and told I knew nothing when I warned about Ruiz and informed everyone FSU has a real billionaire ponying up. Dude just told FSU, don’t worry about raising any more money, I’ve got the bill covered for the next two years — all of it. Think they are ~6mm for NIL. The delta between last year’s numbers and this year’s is yuge — the market has corrected significantly, and you can pull a nice class with that budget.

It does. The NIL budget covers those matriculating from high school, retention, and transfers. Allocation is a matter of preference. I’ve heard, for example, Michigan allocates almost its entire budget to retention and transfers (which may explain why we flipped that kid recently, although I’m speculating).
 
You must be kidding me. I grew up in Maine. I know what birch tree bark feels like off to Alaska in a week to do my sixth float trip. I started with nothing and I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished, and on the way up I was a Golden Cane and living scholar Not to mention presidents council
