Alright, this is nothing personal, but sometimes I feel like people are too quick to post, and don't pay enough attention to context.
First, this is F$U Tears.
Second, I pulled an F$U post about it being a "false narrative" that F$U is "punting on 2026", when it is obvious that "punting on 2026" is actually true.
Third, the F$U post was about the Portal. It was not about the blue chip index, it was not about high school recruits.
Finally, the F$U post was forcused on the "names" they are "bringing in from the Portal". But as facts and results have proven, F$U substantially underbid for all the Portal "names" that they "brought in", particularly at quarterback.
Here is the reality. F$U had the 28th ranked Portal class in 2026. They had THREE transfers with a 4-star rating OUT OF TWENTY-THREE. That's not how you turn things around from 2-10 and 5-7. It's just not. The F$U post claiming a "false narrative" about 2026 was based on delusional hopes and dreams that the "names" F$U was pursuing would actually choose F$U for cheap, and that was never going to happen.
There's more detail. FSU has some blue chip players (moreso than all of the Miami teams of the 2010s), but the trend is
down.
2024: .8942 (46 blue chip players) (avg overall experience 2.04 years)
2025: .8924 (45 blue chip players) (avg overall experience 1.84 years)
2026: .8851 (41 blue chip players) (avg overall experience 1.40 years)
They're now a very, very young team. Younger than any of Miami's opponents last year, and younger than the Hurricanes themselves.
It's also where those blue chips are distributed:
WR: Eight blue chip players, but four of them are true freshmen. Are they playing?
TE: Three blue chips, with an average experience of 0.67 years
HB: Five blue chip players
OL: Three blue chips (out of 19 players)
QB: Two blue chip players (both HS recruits), but neither are playing
DL: Four blue chip players, but three are true freshmen
DE: Five blue chip players, with an average experience 0.8 years
LB: Three blue chip players
S: One blue chip player (true freshman)
CB: Five blue chip players
Florida State has no five stars on their roster. Their highest ranked player is true freshman Chauncey Kennon (.9730)
By comparison, here's Miami in the same time span:
2024: .9010 (41 blue chip players) (avg overall experience 1.81 years)
2025: .9036 (53 blue chip players) (avg overall experience 1.77 years)
2026: .9023 (56 blue chip players) (avg overall experience 1.60 years)
