------- Last month, one of our FSU insiders, Josh Newberg, tweeted out that he did not expect Tyrek Cole to be part of Florida State's class, and he expected Cole to end up at Miami or West Virginia.
After speaking with a few people close to the situation, here is what I can gather - Florida State and Cole are likely not going to happen. The Seminoles are concerned about some off the field issues, and are actively recruiting other corners to replace him.
The seemingly obvious move for Cole is to just flip to the hometown Hurricanes, something he has already considered doing. However, those close to him feel that it would be in his best interest to follow former coach Damon Cogdell to West Virginia.
"Cogdell is probably the only chance he has to stay out of trouble," said one south Florida source, noting that Cole has some "bad influences" around him, and "it will only get worse" if he stays close to home.

I do see him flipping but not to us but to WVU. I've been told that he is a kid that does need to get away just for the sake of growing up and get away from negative influences. It will be interesting how his recruitment plays out.

The "getting away" thing always works out well for guys with sketchy situations. Worked well for Willie Williams and Grooms and countless others who needed to "get away". Bottom line: if you're a troubled guy (not saying Cole is), trouble will follow you even to remote locations like Assfck, WV.
P.S. thanks for another Cole thread. The first 30 weren't enough.
Was just going to say this isnt a kid like the wr from central who is from the city, that has legit concern. This kid probably a small issue in the grand scheme. Dont think this is kevin grooms, or willietype of deal. I'Ll take this kid alll day, just a solid natural corner. Fsu has bigger fish and probably dont want the bad press and concerns of a kid that was gonna flip anyway
How long do you give him until he flips to Miami?

can't believe fsu is actually concerned about someone's off field issues and if true makes it doubtful we would take him. our standards have to be higher than theirs.
