Yes
We were on probation with limited scholarships and despite that Butch left a spot empty for him to see if he could get a qualifying score. Butch felt he was worth it and he was right.

Miami admissions kept a lot of guys out of here. Coker didn't have the guts to have that bs Changed. Ricky Jean Francois would have been here had it not been for Miami's sorry *** admissions dept.

Okay.
Was misinformed on that one.
Don't recall him being recruited at all until very late after Coker had taken over.

Losing Collins sealed Golden's fate. Had he gone here, Alex would have been in Tally the night Duke went down as we were driving. Collins was a beast and at that point nole D was sucking for air. Those fresh legs, speed, and power might have won the game for us, took us to 8-0 and ruined noles' NC. That was THAT recruit who use to come in and make you forget the great he replace(nothing against Duke who is my favorite Cane after The Stork). Golden still suck but beating gator and noles in same year might have started a fire even he could not have put out. Win title that year and Al jumps to NFL immediately and we have change to revive again. Alex Collins, to me, was the single biggest lost recruit we ever had.

It's confusing because none of the recruiting databases list where he prepped to get his scores/grades in line after they were flagged. We usually sent people to Milford in New York but I don't know if that's the case.

I remember reading an interview with Hester after signing where he talked about Bobby Bowden ****ed up his pitch and it played in our favor. Bobby kept telling him Miami's depth chart was too loaded and he should come to FSU where he'll get playing time earlier. Hester took it as a slap in the face and said, "If you don't think I'm good enough to play early there, why are you recruiting me?"

i always loved the story about Graig Cooper going on an OV to Tennessee and Fulmer kept calling him Craig and calling his dad Mr Cooper even though that wasn’t his last name.

You could easily be right. Old memories suffer from being old to have them.
