Tracking Expectations

We expect coach Fisher to meet or exceed these expectations. We will not set expectations for results in the post-season as it is stupid to demand a specific record when the opponent is unknown.

Jimbo Fisher 1st 4-Year Goals
Regular Season 36-12
Current 17-7
Pace 34-14
Need Remaining 19-5


Regular-Season ACC 25-7
Current 11-5
Pace 22-10
Need Remaining 14-2

Colin Blake Recruiting Update

One of the more interesting recruits in the 2012 class is cornerback Colin Blake of San Antonio Brandeis High School, who is originally from England. Brandeis High School plays against some of the top competition in Texas at the 5A level. Standing at 6'3, 185lbs with the hips and speed to stay at CB in a zone-based system, Blake is one of the hottest names on the recruiting trail. What's more impressive for a prospect that has over 15 BCS offers is that he has only been playing the cornerback position since his junior year.

To the surprise of many, FSU has been recruiting Blake since his Junior year. Blake, who recently de-committed from Texas A&M, recently announced his top three schools as Florida State, TCU, and Oklahoma. Credit the hard work of Florida State defensive end coach D.J. Eliot, who recruits the San Antonio area as well as anybody(Last year 5 star San Antonio RB Aaron Green had FSU as a finalist).

I recently caught up with Colin to ask him about his recruitment and his top schools.

There is a lot of data contained on these sheets that I'll be digging through in the coming weeks. In the first eight games, garbage time is indicated by gold highlighted cells. I didn't bother charting GT in the final four, partly in the interest of time and partly to avoid revisiting Miami's final scoring drive led by the potent spread flagging attack.

Florida State’s where it is today, knocking on the door of a title run, for one reason: because the Alabama board of trustees vetoed Fisher move to Birmingham.

Florida State is mentioned. A lot. But perhaps more importantly, this is a good chance to look at the kids from all across the country who will become the superstars of tomorrow.

Tomahawk Nation 2012 Community Mock Class Results


First off, thanks to everybody who participated. We had over 650 participants in each survey. To get to the point, here is the mock class based on the consensus of the community. Prospects in bold are prospects that are uncommitted or were uncommitted at the time the surveys opened.

QB Jameis Winston, QB Sean Maguire, RB Mario Pender, WR Marvin Bracy, WR Ricardo Louis, TE Christo Kourtzidis, OL Daniel Glauser, OL Menelik Watson, DE Mario Edwards, Jr., DE Chris Casher, DE Dante Fowler, Jr., DE Leonard Williams, DT Eddie Goldman, DT Justin Shanks, DT Dalvon Stuckey, LB Markuss Eligwe, LB Reggie Northrup, CB Ronald Darby, DB P.J. Williams, K Roberto Aguayo, P Cason Beatty

This is class of 21 total prospects, which falls right in line with FSU's available numbers. However, the community did have some prospects that were too close to call.

A breakdown of some of the more interesting results is after the jump.

ESPN 97.9 the new home for Jeff Cameron

@Corey_Clark: Just got word Jeff Cameron will be back on the air in Tallahassee on Aug. 1. When he starts new job at 97.9 ESPN Radio.

It would have been inappropriate to release the news with Ron Vitrano still on the air. 97.9 appears to have made a major, major commitment here.

This is great news for all Noles fans. Glad to see he came out on top. Advantage: Capitalism.

"But our conference fully expects West Virginia to participate in the Big 12, beginning July 1, 2012," Neinas said. "We've had continual assurances from [WVU] President [Jim] Clements and Athletic Director Oliver Luck [the Mountaineers] will be here to kick off the new year."

The Big 12 commissioner said his league hasn't made scheduling plans to move forward for 2012-13 without West Virginia.

"No,'' he said. "We have a schedule with West Virginia. We have a contractual commitment with our television partners that we must release a schedule by Feb. 1 and we will do that.

"Aside from our television partners, our schools are anxious to release their schedules and we'll meet the required deadline."

As you know, Florida State has a game with WVU scheduled for September 8. I am told that FSU wants out of this game, and WVU certainly wants out if it goes to the Big XII, as it will play nine conference games.

Let's see if the commissioner is correct.
