(I’m positing this here because its really related to the dialogue on potential candidates for FSU more so than just recruiting.)
I read in the Leach to FSU rumor thread that when ppl said Leach “wasn’t a recruiter” others countered with “FSU recruits itself”. I.e. the program will build itself and on brand alone provide any coach with a loaded roster...
to an extend that is true but.....
Canes should know differently.
In this big money era of CFB it’s not just about getting 4* and 5* it’s about getting the right 4* and 5*.
If Golden signs Dalvin Cook instead of Joe Yearby, he probably could have made it at least another year. Cook was just that good.
The Narrative surrounding last years FSU team was that they had “no talent” really...in Jimbos final 3 seasons his composite class ranking were 3 and 3 and 6.
In 2015 be signed 4-5* alone players that were to be JRs and SRs Willies 1st year. Now the story of those classes are “they were loaded with bust”
Larry Coker thought Miami Recruited itself and wound up with bust and bust.
Mark Richt thought UGA recruited itself and lost the top QBs to out of state rivals.
If a program is going to build a contender in today’s game. It’s centered around getting “your guy” not just a high ranking for fans to brag about.
