Trequan ***ans Decommits

[TC@ne]

In the wise words of The Weeknd: it has begun, again, my friend

 

[Odin]

I would sacrifice the entire class if it means we get the HC and AD moves right

Exactly and not only that, if Diaz were to somehow win a couple meaningless games and survive another season these guys would still decommit.

 

[htownkidd]

Was going to happen whether we keep Manny or not. Kid aint stupid and he won’t be the last one.

 

[miamian01]

They should’ve let the Sanford twins commit.

 

[who]

Y'all want to fire the entire athletic department (and I can't really argue against it). Well, this is what happens when you do. Remember, firing coaches in 2021 is more painful than it was in the past due to ESD. You used to be able to fire a coach after Thanksgiving and hire someone in December and salvage a class. All the timing is now moved up. So, firing Manny and everyone else and not hiring a new coach until December/January essentially kills an entire class.

Am I reading this correctly? You’ll lose commits if you fire the entire department right now? Last I checked, this kid decommited with no one fired yet!

We’d have a better chance of getting some of these kids to stick if the move is made right now. It signifies a change and these kids aren’t dumb. They hear the rumors and the potential names.

 

[M3N]

8 commits is very reminiscent of Randy’s last class.

 

[bdcane4eva]

warning ya'll now...we will lose many more...
even with a new coach and the portal...missing out on classes adds a couple years to the rebuild due to depth and unbalance..
ripping the band-aid off was never going to be painless.

 

[Burricane]

I saw someone else say it on Twitter, but how the **** is FSU keeping their class together?

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

See USC. You get a valuable head start in the search for the replacement and you might even salvage some* momentum if your current kids rally around the interim.

I guess. But what value is this head start? You can't interview candidates. And again, who leads up this head start? Blake James? Your premise is correct, and I'm not arguing with you. I just think you're stuck completely between a rock and a hard place right now with a lame duck coach and no leadership.

Norvell still has some new car smell to him.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Would you want to take a free cruise on the Titanic?

 

[kanin81]

I'm not too surprised he decommitted. He is a 4 star CB from Alabama, no way he doesn't go to the SEC.

 

[GOCANES05]

As @PSU Cane stated , this is just the beginning

 

[can4life]

Call me crazy but I really don't care about recruits right now I just want us to get our front office and coaching staff in order.

 

[We’reBackCane]

I guess I was more indifferent on timing before this but if he loses this weekend I think you make the change now. Better for certainty - a new regime eventually coming - than in than dealing with the uncertainty narrative as we recruit going forward.

When USC fired Helton, I voiced the same. However, I entirely get why you cut bait now that I am seeing what's going on with our program because of inaction. It is toxic, people, recruits, current players are left in limbo in that toxic environment. You have to give people the one clear sign and hope that things will turn around, let the current players not be surrounded by everyone talking about how terrible the current staff is. Don't forget, with the portal, you also now need to keep the current players engaged and together.

 

[hoops156]

sucks -- we will loose everybody if we dont have a new coach asap

no coach is taking. a job midseason lol

Ohhhh, I essentially agree. We're fizucked unless they're willing to move on from Blake too. Both him and Manny should've been canned going into this bye week. Hire a new AD quickly and let them take advantage of the head start (there's a lot that can be done even sans interviews but remember Golden secretly interviewing at Pedo State?).

 

[N.M.B. Cane]

This is indicative of the programs current state of stagflation. At least when you fall, you have an opportunity to pick yourself back up. Nothing is worse than paralysis.

 

[nycane]

thats why he needs to be canned sooner rather than later.
