From what I watched, Milton will be better than what they had last year. McClain can play at WR, but may be another year before he really peaks. It's going to be hard to match how bad they were last year. FSU fans are as optimistic as they get, so they'll be singing Norvell's praises when he takes them from 3 wins to 7.

Not enough wins on that schedule to get to 7

5-7 best case scenario

Explain this to me like I'm five. Why is it brilliant to invite other schools on campus for a camp?

This isn’t factual but I think their claim is this:

the superior/elite team, FSU (insert laughter here) allows lesser schools to participate in camps on their campus. This will help get elite recruits on campus because they will go to help their lesser teammates get invited and looked at by those lesser schools. Then of course after seeing FSU how could they ever want to go somewhere else.

pretty sure we have allowed FIU or FAU to camps on our campus before. It’s a token of good faith for the community to help kids get scholarships. In theory we should never be competing with FIU for a recruit.
 
I think it’s to draw a large crowd of recruits to make it the camp everyone wants to attend. They believe they’ll get the best of them. Maybe they’ll find a few diamonds in the rough ar the same time.

You only do this if you have trouble attracting the elite recruits to your events and you’re bad at evals.

Well their OL and RB depth could be the worst in school history.

Remember when their players came out and said he doesn’t have a playbook or something like that? Classic

No. The Ephemerides of Phialo was what they called the playbook (actually three bookes). It was so complicated nobody could ever learn it. Even the Medieval English professor in the English Literature department tried to tutor the FSU players in it but they kept making fun of his lisp. Nobody learned anything.

wow.... some hot takes in their thread about Norvell's satellite camp this summer....

FSU announced the first 10 teams that will be a part of the Sunshine Showcase on Friday morning: UCF, USF, Power Five programs Minnesota and Washington State, FBS school Troy, local FCS program FAMU, regional FCS schools Stetson and Charleston Southern, and Division III programs Geneva College and University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point.

Their take:

Norvell is trying put a stranglehold on Florida recruiting. Man if he pulls this off. Might go down as one of the most brilliant moves in college football history.

Turn Florida into Louisiana where it's akin to a crime to go anywhere but FSU.

That would be reverse order. Nowadays, you usually go to FSU first then you commit the crime.

I didn’t think the FSU scrimmage looked anywhere near as physical as ours. Seemed like we had much bigger stronger faster guys playing much harder out there. They really do look more like a G5 team. They are a long ways off.

Is that too charitable?
 
Why are certain Miami fans so convinced that McKenzie Milton will be F$U's starter? Let's review what we saw in the F$U Spring Game:

---1st pass - incomplete (not shown for some reason, the TV cameras were too busy filming Kevin Knowles celebrating his INT)
---2nd pass - shotgun, 2-yard dropback, 7-yard completion to the running back out of the backfield on the short side of the field that he threw off his back leg, did NOT step forward at all
---3rd pass - shotgun, empty backfield, 3-yard dropback, tried to step up, 7-yard SACK
---4th pass - shotgun, 6-yard dropback, tried to step up, had to throw the ball into the ground to avoid another sack
---5th pass - shotgun, 3-yard dropback, 27-yard completion to the short side of the field to a diving McClain; yes, the play looked good and McClain is certainly talented, but look at the THROW again, it's his second completion that was thrown largely off the back foot and relied on arm strength, not the drive and weight shift to the front leg; his right (rear) leg was injured and his left (front) leg is fine, so I wonder if there is a fearfulness to drive forward
---6th pass - shotgun, empty backfield, 3-yard dropback, 16-yard completion for a TD to Robinson; I will give McKenzie credit for a strong arm, he threw the ball from the far hash of his 24 yard line to the near pylon of the end zone, across his body; on this pass, he only stepped forward (more like laterally) a bit more than on his first two completions; I honestly believe that when Milton has (a) his same OLs and WRs against (b) better DLs and DBs (c) not wearing padded foam helmets and (d) subject to real-world sacks, the outcome will be much worse

1st drive: 3/5, 1 sack, 1 TD, 2 good passes

---7th pass - shotgun, 3-yard dropback, 6-yard completion (across his body) to the midget RB coming out of the backfield, but 5 yards were YAC; no follow-through; yawn
---8th pass - shotgun, empty backfield, 3-yard dropback, Milton RUNS through a gaping middle of the field for 14 yards; interestingly, he just stops running (per the rules of the scrimmage), not even attempting a slide; again, an outcome that seems very unlikely in the regular season; announcers gush over Milton on this particular play, which is ridiculous
---9th pass - shotgun, play-action (first one), 5-yard dropback, 39-yard pass (8 YAC) right down the middle to Burrell; thus far, this has looked like the most natural passing motion; until now, I have been wondering why F$U won't put a back in the backfield fpr play-action purposes with Milton to at least give the illusion that they might run and to slow down the rush/blitz
---10th pass - shotgun, empty backfield, 2-yard dropback, incomplete
---11th pass - shotgun, 1-yard dropback, incomplete

2nd drive: 2/4, 1 fake-a$$ run that will never happen in real life, 1 good pass

---12th pass - shotgun, 3-yard dropback, incomplete to avoid another sack
---13th pass - shotgun, empty backfield, 3-yard dropback, SACK
---14th pass - shotgun, empty backfield, 3-yard dropback, incomplete

3rd drive: 0/2, 1 sack, 0 good passes

I'm just not sure why Miami fans are jizzing in their pants over The Great McKenzie Milton, who went 5/11 with 2 sacks and 1 TD.
