PrintSo I did a quick interview with Telvin after he picked Florida State. Before the announcement I was told by a couple who said they were VERY close to him (and die-hard Dawg fans) tell me they thought he was ALL NOLE. They loved the Dawgs but thought he was a Nole.
I was also pre-banned for saying that lol.
Anyways, here's the quick interview I did with him before he left.
Me: So what was the biggest factor that made you pick FSU over Georgia?
T: Well, it just seemed to me like FSU is really close to having everything together. Coach Fisher said he was really turning things around and I want to be apart of it.
Me: So what was Coach Fisher's best selling point to you?
T: The best thing he told me was that I had a chance to be a part of being something special, a NEW era at Florida State. He said he was getting all the pieces to be on top and he wanted me to be there. And with Greg (Reid) being there already and telling me how great it is and how the team has really changed since last year I wanna be apart of it.
Me: So what do you think about Lowndes and FSU? The last few years have been big with with you and Greg Reid from last year, what do you think about FSU laying the groundwork for a pipeline to Lowndes? AKA, what about Tyler Hunter for next year?
T: Well I don't know where Tyler is going right now, but me and Greg are gonna be going after him next year.
Me: So Telvin, you going to bring Florida State a championship?
T: I hope so, we're gonna have a great team,. I think we can do it.
That's all I got guys, there were a lot of disappointed UGA fans here tonight, the place emptied in about 3 minutes except for me, one other Nole fan, and his teammates and family. Nole fans should be excited about this kid!!!

impromptu interview on behalf on Tomahawk Nation?
I hearby lift your pre-emptive permaban.
Awesome job, Holmes.
I really wish the mindless pundits like Tim Brando could read these comments and portray FSU in the true light, not some unjustly biased comments based on a lingering erection from The Puntrooskie….but I digress.
He’s definitely not a thug? Love it. This team is constantly evolving into something refreshing. The Dekoda’s, Jermaine’s, Lonnie’s and Jacobbi’s have stormed the castle. Be gone, Sir Rouse and your boorish brood of miscreants!!!

Great work here, thanks for interviewing him!!
We were all created to be Seminoles. This is why we bleed garnet and piss gold.

Great job!
one of our writers will frontpage this once the ’’we’’ and ’’us’’ language is removed. Great job!
6'3" - 205 lbs. Any chance he could play safety?
Sounds like he has the speed, range, and desire to hit. Possibly Sean Taylor-esque?
Thanks for the scoop
& damn is our recruiting team kicking a$$. I love that FSU is out recruiting the best teams from other states.
Nothing can stop us....
That's a great video.
Some really nice footwork for a guy his size. Smart, too.

I was watching that video and had iTunes going. After a big tackle it focused in on Telvin and right then the song “Don’t Bore Us, Get to the Chorus” by Emery came on. For those that haven’t heard it, it starts by repeating “He’s never gonna go away.”
Either this is as comical as I think it is or I am too tired.

I keep trying not to get too excited
after too many years of having my excitement build only to be stepped on, but damn, it’s hard. I want so badly to believe.
Good Job
And that is what makes this a great site. Are you going to charge us for it?
" Fisher’s approach to building a winner is lifted from Saban’s playbook. Right down to the terminology such as becoming more "process oriented" as opposed to "results oriented."
" Nick and I are friends," he said. "That guy is one of the best football coaches I’ve ever been around. God knows he’s brilliant. … A lot of the things he believes are a lot of things I believe. We’re very similar!
The process begins!
Some people may have concerns over his size, but I think Viloria will be able to do something with him
He’ll be bigger than Geno Hayes. And besides, Sean Spence is 6-0 211 and doing quite well for scUM

Kid's got character it sounds like too
from the way he spoke. The whole class does it seems (except for maybe Dorsey if he commits?). Another good sign.
Brandon Jenkins came in at around 200 lbs.
Now he’s at least 240. They will put weight on Telvin.
SCALP 'EM SEMINOLES!
