The "TR" means transfer right? So based on this opening depth chart 10 out 11 starters on offense are transfers? Am I wrong? How is that even possible?

When you add in the defense they have 7 out of 11 starters as transfers for a grand total of 17 of 22 starters did NOT begin their respective college careers at FSU.

Just to put this in perspective Miami has 11 transfers TOTAL on both offense and defense listed as starters.

The media is sucking up to prison Mike as he is some kind of genius for assembling this team and beating Alabama however my interpretation of this is that it represents a complete catastrophic and epic failure of recruiting and player development.

Prove me wrong!

Maybe the NIL money grew out of desperarion allowing the transformation. More gaurantees with NIL versus recruiting, they seem to recruit ok but that doesn't always pan out whereas NIL players are mercenaries tested and ready.
 
Yup desperate last gamble that had an early pay off. Down side is what they like to accuse us of: team might quit if they go down early, and if the season starts to slide.
 
FSU's strategy: Why build a team from scratch when you can just DoorDash players from the transfer portal? To offset their inept recruiting.

If you watched the game last week against bama, the announcers after every play was like transfer from xyz with tackle, tansfer from abc with the catch.. seemed like most of team is transfers.. They had success with it in past so dont blame them

Its 4/11 starters on defense that are transfers, you got your colors mixed up. So 12/22 overall ... not sure I see a huge difference between our 11/22 and their 12/22...

Orange just means it was a 2025 off-season transfer. There are transfers in other colors still. TR means transfer. only 5 don't have the TR

Have you ever been to prison? Sounds like citizenkane has an ax to grind with the head coach at FSU. I find your name calling repulsive and disgusting. The product on the field is what counts today and we are in a new era of college football.

Cheaper to buy players than fire the coach.
