How Screwed is FSU Recruiting?

[Astcloud11]

But UM had much more talent and got their butts handed to them this past season. Recruiting is only part of the game. Cristobal is another Willie Taggert. Hyped over insignificant accomplishments but never proven to be worth his contract. Keep the faith though. LOL

Lol. Funny you say this. Taggart won 7 games at Oregon, then bolted for FSU. Mario proceeded to win 9, then 11 games with most of the same players.

No way do I think FSU will be able to get much of anything with their current staff and with what’s happening at UM and UF. While I do actually respect Norvell in a vacuum, he is blind to what it takes to succeed in Florida recruiting, and now it’s really too late for him and FSU.

As bad as UM has fallen over the years, we’ve never been that bad. What say you maniacs?

Deion on deck??

Deion on deck??

I honestly think so.

I actually talked to an FSU fan about this who I THOUGHT was always a smart opinion.

I’m like, hey, I think Deion would be a slam dunk for y’all.

Fan is like, naw, Deion can’t call plays and he doesn’t have enough experience.

I’m like, my guy, are you WATCHING what he’s actually doing for a tiny school in comparison to FSU? And he can hire coordinators you know?

Fan doubled down and said he trusts Norvell and. They can wait on Deion.

At the moment I realized the convo needed to end.

 

[Angry Ibis]

Man even the FSU trolls have fallen off

Sad time indeed

garnetandgoldvern is still a 4-5 star, just lacks the talent around him to compete..

Their downward spiral will play out similar to ours. And it will all set up for Sanders to come in and assemble a huge staff, like Mario is doing, and it’ll be FSU/Miami battles for ACC supremacy just like the good old days. Bookmark it

This has been my same thought process… curious to see how Deion progresses at JSU (beyond recruiting) and if that timeline is accelerated (I.e., next year)

one thing that isn't talked about that helps support FSU in recruiting, is FAMU.

for decades, the FAMU community has played an very outsized role in creating an environment and culture for black athletes at FSU.

News flash: a large part of the social and cultural collegiate life for FSU black athletes is not happening on the FSU campus. the powers that be at FSU don't like to advertise it, but it's a fact. when a black athlete recruit comes to FSU on an official, they are not hanging out at Recess or Baja Beah Club with a bunch of guys from boca raton in abercrombie & fitch jeans. they are at the alpha ph alpha house, or frenchtown rising, or chillmatic.

FSU is a low level university, not well integrated, in a nondescript small town.

however, it does happen to have one of the oldest and most established HBCU's in the country just down the street. Because of that, FSU can easily offer an environment (although not really part of FSU) where a large percentage of their black recruits and athletes can feel accepted and comfortable. and thus, there's a bit of a floor to how bad their recruiting will be. although they do seem to be testing that floor regularly.

This is the truth right here. Only the basketball team hangs out in the traditional fsu social scene

They will have to pay unprecedented money to assemble a great staff under Deion Sanders. You are dreaming if you think big-time coaches are lining up to work with head coach Deion.

I don't think there's another board that hypes this guy up more than here.

Any coach that signs up to be with Deion becomes a “Prime”. You’ll even have Optimus and Rodimus on staff as analysts.

Does that make Mario into Megatron on PEDs?

There a reason why jimbo left..the same reason why Mario wasn’t coming unless he got what he demanded

At Disney a few years ago, buying ice cream at the place across the street from the hot dog place on main st. Girl taking my order had FAMU on her name tag. When she answered yes when I asked if she went there, I said FAMU is the number one reason FSU has a great football team. She stopped, looked at me, and said I was completely correct.

Drop dead beautiful girl, by the way.

The Portal is what is saving them by a thread. They are able to be competitive, but I don't think you can build a good program relying heavily on the Portal year after year.

They had good use of the Portal for the 2021 season and they still won only 5 games.

 

[GojiraCane]

More like Unicron. And in full possession of the Matrix of Leadership.

 

[Hegemon]

Jimbo asked for support.

Did not get it and left.

FSU has had 4 losing seasons.

Let that sink in.

FOUR

How is Florida's staff bigtime?

Let it become forty.

 

[Hegemon]

Let it become forty.

Preferably endless

 

[kryptonite]

Yeah we see a lot of coaches bail just as things are falling apart

**** Urban Meyer has a patent on it

Hey! Just because the man has had multiple health “emergencies” that required him to leave jobs and this programs subsequently went in the sh*tter is no reason to accuse him of bailing.

 

[kryptonite]

You respect Norvell in a vacuum? That makes no sense to me. Why would Norvell be in a vacuum, and why would you respect that?

He’d probably rather be let back into the spaceship than have anyones respect at that particular moment.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

What’s considered a “good” year at this point for them? 7 wins?

7 wins would be improvement. It would be bowl eligibility. It's probably the best they can hope for.

Sounds like some Miami fans that porst on CIS...
