2011 Recruiting Discussion Thread #17 [CLOSED]

Welcome to the recruiting discussion thread. Please refer to the Recruiting Board for information on prospects. We are asking readers comment here instead of the recruiting board so that the recruiting board will load quicker. Feel free to talk recruiting news, rumor, information, etc. Amateurs and experts are all welcome. No question is too simple. Have a projected class? That's fine as well.

Once this thread fills up, we will start a new one.

Also, please don't fish for information from subscription websites. Do not post premium information as well. Violators will be banned from this thread.

FAQ:

1. What's up with Tony Steward?
This is a Clemson-FSU battle. Clemson is in desperate need of linebackers because its current crop lacks both quality and numbers. Plus, Steward's idol is Ernie Sims, who was coached by Clemson LB coach Kevin Steele. Despite this, we are confident in FSU's position with him. While we are mindful that Clemson can promise him an immediate starting job playing for Ernie Sims' former coach while FSU cannot (FSU is loaded with linebacker talent), we think FSU is in good position at the present time and that FSU's position will only improve from here. It will really depend on whether the kid prefers immediate playing time or the better program.
2. How many recruits does Florida State take in its 2011 recruiting class?
Bud Elliot believes that the numbers should reach 25-28. Don't expect Florida State to oversign weak talent, e.g. the 2010 Miami recruiting class. Florida State does not need to reach 25, but it's fairly certain that Florida State won't deny high talent that wants to commit.
3. Any new news on Nick O'Leary?
Nothing but good news lately for Nick O'Leary. O'Leary recently attended the Florida State-Miami game. After the game, he didn't spend time in the locker room of the hometeam (Miami) but rather spent his time in the locker room of Florida State. Nick O'Leary's High School football coach recently said he believes that Florida State leads.
