Article about Eddie Gran on ESPN.
Good article on new hire Eddie Gran about his recruiting prowess in Florida.
Some quotes from the article and click the link above for the whole story.
"The Seminoles now will have one of the country's top recruiters in the area, one that has more than a decade of experience building relationships with coaches and families in South Florida."
"By the time he left Tennessee, Gran had six prospects with South Florida ties committed, including four-star receiver Ted Meline (North Miami, Fla./North Miami), four-star jumbo athlete Delvin Jones (Palmetto, Fla./Palmetto), three-star offensive lineman Jose Jose (Miami, Fla./Miami Central), sleeper linebacker Ralph Williams (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep), defensive tackle Calvin Smith (Hialeah, Fla./Hialeah) (assistant head coach Ed Orgeron had a lot to do with this one) and junior college receiver Kembrell Thompkins (El Camino Community College), who played at Miami Northwestern."

I agree
Gran is a huge pick up for FSU and he has long ties in Florida via his days at Auburn. I think he also makes Jermaine Thomas a monster.

p.s.
Thank you TN for promoting this article to the front page. It really gives some good insight into our new hire and the job Jimbo Fisher is doing in hiring the right guys for the job.

I would like to hear from the college coaches
what school has the best recruiting infrastructure in place. (I know that as soon as Jimbo got here he implemented a philosophy of locking down talent within 150 mile radius of FSU by building relationships with local HS coaches.)
- Saban and Co.?
- Urban revitilization?
- ButchUNC?
Looks like Gran was recruiting Gainer pretty hard too....

Gainer says his final three are FSU, TENN, and Rutgers. So one would think we would now be in the drivers seat if we wanted him.

I wonder if Jose Jose is the son of the famous Mexican Tex-Mex singer.

Any chance FSU wants any of his Tennessee commits and any chance
they get them to switch?
I did not know if coaches tried to sway commits to their new team after working so hard to sell their old place.
Just off the list in the fanshot I want Calvin Smith
But I don’t think we can turn him back. It also doesn’t help our chances with Lemonier.
well that sounds good to me.
I feel like the wind is starting to blow the other way. I just hope its long enough so we can catch up with UF.
Why is the sky blue? Because, God Loves the Infantry
Just hope that his visit in Tallahassee isn't a short one
According to
http://footballcoachscoop.com/Scoop.html
Murray State:
FootballCoachScoop sources tell us that University Officials are moving closer to identifying their Head Coach for the vacant position as South Carolina
Assistant Shane Beamer seems to have emerged as the leader. Among other finalist for the position are Randall McCray (Former Racer Assistant
coach/current Wisconsin Recruiting Coordinator), Justin Fuente (TCU Assistant Coach/Former Racers Quarterback), Dan Werner (Former Racers
Assistant), Chris Hatcher (Former Georgia Southern Head Coach), Eddie Gran (Florida State Running Backs Coach/Special Teams Coordinator) and
Hugh Freeze (Lambuth Head Coach). According to our source there will be a Head Coach by December 20.
word now is MS is closing in on Chris Hatcher.

there was talk of chris hatcher coming to FSU before fisher was hired...
wonder if he was even a legit option from a DII school…well, probably under Bobby.
Silly Question
Should we be concerned about what is happening at Tennessee with recruiting practices and the recent hiring of Coach Gran?
What we do in life, echoes in eternity.
I wouldn't be.
Gran will no longer be an employee of Tenn. and he left before this story broke. I highly doubt as well that a rb coach went rogue and sent girls to high school players schools.
