PrintNot much news today. We have the Jeremy Deering signing at 6pm tonight and will post a live-stream for that (Channel 8 in Tampa). Deering is a 6'2" 205 lb athlete who can be a great safety or wide receiver.
Our staff is hard at work pursuing last minute leads and finishing the signing day page. Here's a sneak preview:
Click for a bigger image. The players will be in order of signing time. And we'll let you know where a kid chose even if his destination is not Tallahassee. We hope to be your destination for signing day.
Scalpem.com has been killing it lately with a new site re-design. Check out their Jimbo Fisher meter.
Chantrant.com tells us Telvin Smith looked 6'4" and thicker than he did last year.
There's a report out of one of the Herald that LB Darrin Kitchens is no longer considering the 'Noles after FSU retained Telvin Smith. Smith is the better player.
ESPN says Jimbo Fisher, who just replaced Bobby Bowden -- one of the all-time great recruiting closers -- will establish himself as a fine closer as well. The Seminoles are in a good position to potentially add several prospects by the end of national signing day, including four ESPNU 150 players. Look for FSU to sign the top defensive class in the country.
Taiwan Easterling might be switching to baseball full-time. It would be the smart move. The 6th round draft choice out of high school has a future in baseball, not football. This all depends on how much promsie he shows on the diamond.
As for money, apparently people were holding their money until FSU could get rid of Bowden:
The excitement building behind the Seminoles' 2010 season doesn't stop with the arrival of another celebrated class of players. Early returns on the behind-the-scenes efforts of Seminole Boosters and the Florida State ticket office indicate that Seminole fans have a renewed enthusiasm for the program's future.
Based on year-to-date comparisons, renewal of booster membership is up 90 percent from this point in 2009, while they are enjoying nearly a 17 percent increase in monetary gifts.
Season ticket renewals and new season ticket purchases for 2010 are even more impressive statistically. The ticket office is reporting an 80 percent increase in new sales over the total from this time last year, while renewals, bolstered by an early push, are up from 423 to a whopping 2,327. That's a 450 percent increase.

Awesome. NSD blew up last year on TN.
This year looks to be even better. I’ll be here when I get out of my Da*! 2 hr meeting.
hahaha...
Financial Accounting and Reporting I test. I figured there had to be another accountant here. Guess not.
SCALP 'EM SEMINOLES!
I graduated Accounting/Finance in Spring 09
I feel you on the FAR tests…which FAR you taking and who’s your teacher?
Accountant here.
VERY exciting field.
Yes, sarcasm. actually did Finance but my first job offer was in Accounting so I took it. Looking to get into a strictly Finance job next.
I oddly enjoy it right now.
Is that abnormal? I like watching the numbers move.
SCALP 'EM SEMINOLES!
I'm suppose to be double majoring in finance and accounting
but I’m more worried about accounting right now. Accounting is so crucial to business.
SCALP 'EM SEMINOLES!
I STILL need to consult my debit/credit worksheets
I’m just now starting on maintaining my company’s GL, so I need to refresh on that stuff.
Debit and Credit worksheets?
"I am the way, the truth, and the life...no one gets to the Father but through Me"
Gotcha.
email me if you have questions.
Dr. Cr. Cr. Cr. Dr.
Assets = Liabilities + Equity + (Revenue – Expenses)
Assets: Normal Balance = Debit
Liabilities: Normal Balance = Credit
Equity: Normal Balance = Credit
Revenue: Normal Balance = Credit
Expenses: Normal Balance = Debit
Sorry if that is obvious to you but I hate to think the books are being kept otherwise.
"I am the way, the truth, and the life...no one gets to the Father but through Me"
BTW, what company do you work for?
What kind of Accounting Information System do you have? Usually systems today do the Debit and Credit action “behind the scenes”, that is, unless they are asking you to keep the GL and review for adjusting and closting entries, etc.
Are you on accrual basis?
"I am the way, the truth, and the life...no one gets to the Father but through Me"
Our Finance major is a joke. A complete joke of a program.
It’s easy to pick up the double major though, although I heard they are going to make it tougher. If you are serious about wanting to actually LEARN something useful take James Doran. He is the best Finance professor at the school. He is tough, real tough. Bong-Soo teaches you the fundamentals well, and he’s hilarious. Kind of a dick though. As for accounting, Lulu is your only option for cost, but not easy. I liked Billings for FAR, his tests are challenging but he will help you as much as you need him too, and he is fair. Prof. Atwood was horrible for tax.
Nah I'd be more than happy to help you with whatever
Hit me up anytime
Don't recognize those names
Had Nagel, Nast, Turner (poor guy had a heart attack while I was there), couple others but I forget their names. Pierno for accounting along with some chick who looked like a burnt out hippy.
Accounting
Accounting major as well here, taking FAR I next semester.. It’s interesting to see all of my fellow accounting/finance majors on here haha..
Yeah bro, hit me up when you're done with Pierno
LMAO @ him looking up at the sky every time he hears the chime at 12PM.

Not bad, not bad at all.
by basbalstr101 on Feb 2, 2010 12:38 PM EST up reply actions
It will be interesting
He hasn’t played competively is a few years. Lots of rust to get rid of IMO and Martin will not just give him the job.
It's a beautiful day in Tallahassee
IF it's between him and Danesh I'd "just" give it to Easterling.
There’s that one guy last year who played fairly well in limited time. Name escapes me at the moment. And I’m not sure how any incoming freshman have performed so far. I’m not a Danesh fan.
I'm not high on Danesh either but he is a SR and we all now what that means to MM
You are thinking of Ramsey, kid played well in limited ABs a freshman and had a great offseason, I would expect to see him in the lineup 1 or 2 days a week to start. There are also a couple JUCO transfers that will get a shot too.
It's a beautiful day in Tallahassee
Easterlimg
Probably not a starter off the bat, especially with our outfield depth. Danesh is alot better than many people think. Juco transfers also help this team. Tye Buckley transferred in from Seminole and could help. Good lefty bat and arm, will also pitch.
by Cody@TN on Feb 2, 2010 1:45 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Danesh does not put up the numbers you look for in a corner outfielder
He will lose his job
It's a beautiful day in Tallahassee
And who on our roster is gonna put up better than danesh?
If you think easterling is gonna play like he did in high school after not touching a baseball for 3 years, you are sadly mistaken. It will take him time, especially to adjust to the pitching
by Cody@TN on Feb 2, 2010 5:53 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
I'm not saying that danesh is amazing
By anystretch of the imagination. I’m just saying that easterling us not going to start in right. He’s just not there yet, my friend went to the scrimmage on Sunday, said easterling is an athlete, just isn’t quite there yet with the bat. He looked overmatched. I do like the Ramsey possibility, just don’t know if you’ll see him there to start the season, especially considering 11’s love for the seniors
by Cody@TN on Feb 2, 2010 11:58 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Danesh will only play against RHP, if at all.
Even doing that last year he wasn’t very good. Pretty lousy, imo.
Tend to agree
Still think he starts the first 10 games, it’s that whole “it’s the seniors job to lose” kinda deal. Either way I’m pretty pumped about baseball season. And for the next couple years as well, 2 pretty solid recruiting classes lining up for 2010 and 2011
by Cody@TN on Feb 3, 2010 6:43 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Love recruiting, but you guys are getting me pumped for baseball...
and my 8 yr. old, whose team came in 3rd in the SSeries 8U World Series last summer (he hit his first out of the park HR to win the game) has decided he wants to play for MM, so were looking good in 2019!!! He is a middle IF ;)
You are not the only one
I am more optomistic this year than in year’s past
It's a beautiful day in Tallahassee
When we push out MM in favor of MMjr in 2016...
Will you be so upset with our actions that you pull a Willie Jones and force him to rethink his decision?
by basaltrock on Feb 2, 2010 2:33 PM EST up reply actions 1 recs
Yea, Ramsey.
And I haven’t heard much about any juco OF, but I’ve heard Kevin Jackson, from Boyd’s high school. I pray someone is good enough to start over Danesh because I wouldn’t take that as a good sign if he is the starter after the first couple weeks.
Jackson will probably get some looks at 1B
I am going up there this weekend to do some scouting and should have a better idea later next week of how we are going to shape up.
It's a beautiful day in Tallahassee
Agree
Kid can mash, could have a good year, especially with more ab’s
by Cody@TN on Feb 2, 2010 11:59 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Does that mean Easterling might not play in 2010?
I hope he plays another year or 2 on the gridiron, though I’ll completely understand if he switches to baseball.
Speak softly, and carry a big Spear
+1
I want to see him on the gridiron also he came up with some big catches
Easterling...
I think he should play- wouldn’t he start in the slot as the 3rd wide- I see it as him, Fortson and Reid with Haulsteas and some Kenny Shaw this year. I think we need Easterling for at least this year!!!
I think we will be fine
The WR corp did great last year and I think next year should be more of the same. We had guys who didn’t even see the field last year that people were drooling over in HS.
by osceolafan850 on Feb 2, 2010 1:20 PM EST up reply actions
I'll miss Easterling playing football.
Hard worker, nice hands, kid can block also. Couple long runs by JT in the bowl game were helped by Easterling blocking downfield.
Season ticket holder increase.
I have mixed feelings about this. I just bought new season tickets, and although I want Doak to be sold out for every game, I want to get good seats ;-) Maybe I’ll just up my Booster contribution.
by Nole Holds Barred on Feb 2, 2010 12:38 PM EST reply actions
First Time Booster
I made my first booster contribution (a small one) not long after Bowden retired. I refused to give $1 until he was gone. I imagine there are and will be a lot more similar stories.
And then there is the guy who cancelled all of his FSU credit cards, his FSU license plate, etc because
Bobby wasn’t treated fairly… blah blah blah…
I think overall, they’ll net more support.
The signing day page looks awesome.
Then again, this is TN. It’s to be expected and the staff always delivers!
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
"But How will I know limits from lies, if I never try."
"Bobby Bowden is FSU"?
From reading the above information it seems that FSU it doing just fine and in some cases better.
Great job FSUn!
Easterling persuing baseball full time is definitely best for him IMO. The plus if he decides to give up football is that we are loaded at the WR position and it wouldn’t kill us.
Non Mollare, non mai mollare!

Finished commenting in another thread, clicked on “Home” and boom…another post by the moderator is up. Amazing.
Best of luck to Easterling, and great to hear about season tix commits. Those are fans that wanted change and made a huge sacrifice in giving up their place for the sake of a new regime (I know 6 of them, and it was very tough for them to do it).

The thing about Easterling
is that two seasons ago (08-09) he seemed to be that 3rd down receiver that always got open and made the really tough catches (VT TD catch comes to mind), I don’t recall him having any of those types of catches this past season, so I guess the move to BB makes sense to allow us to get more PT to the up-and-coming WRs.
That's right
He had to have surgery last spring right? I completely forgot about that. How has that not negatively impacted his BB game?
not as much continuous fast-twitch change of pace moves in baseball.
More streamlined and less quick-change of direction
by freshcollegeboy on Feb 2, 2010 3:14 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah...
the college game seems to be impacted more than ever by the guys on the DL…sure hope Trickett is preparing. That being said…IF we sign who we expect to…I wouldn’t trade our class with anyone…including UF. IF…
Throw in our DL and their CB and they have the advantage IMO
But if we get all of our targets it’ll be damn close
by westcoastnolefan on Feb 2, 2010 2:03 PM EST up reply actions
On paper, I have to go with 3 top 10 overall recruits on the DL, every time.
I don’t know enough about Floyd, Easley, Powell specifically to know whether I would trade them individually for our potential top trio of Joyner, Jones, Luc, but just as a general rule I would take the strong DLine class. Considering needs, it would certainly leave us thin at LB next year, but on the whole, I think elite LBs are easier to come by than elite DLs, just as a function of fewer superior athletes as you go up the scales (literally talking about pounds here).
Maybe throw in some Ferguson (along with Lemonier, who I assume we’re already including in our lineup) and I’ll be harder pressed to make this trade.
Easterling moving to baseball...
Is this something that is pretty much official? And if so, does that fact help us land Sanders? Do we even have room for him with the other the possible signings on NSD?
Yes he's playing
I would think that if he does well, he’d probably concentrate on just baseball. He could be a very high draft pick. 6th round out of high school, as RaysnNoles said.
>>---l>
A lot of guys end up getting picked later out of college than out of HS. It all depends. They don't automatically move up.
Hope he does well though.
2010 AD = 1 AB for FSU
Yeah
But a guy with a successful college career doesn’t have to start out playing seasons in rookie ball. Often, the seasoned college player can jump right into A ball in a very short amount of time. Definitely a risk in not signing out of high school though, and Easterling probably could have been drafted higher if not for signability concerns.
>>---l>
I like our DL class they have some studs be we will have some too…Darious Cummings and Corey Lemonier plus some cloggers im the midde…our LB class and DB class is no joke either…I love our Defensive class..
best defensive class in the country
dunno how they did it…. but they did it!
by numberonenole on Feb 2, 2010 1:32 PM EST up reply actions
Probably had something
to do with early PT. A defense that bad, basically all positions are up for grabs.
Gripper
That makes a lot of sense really
I really believe his best chance for a big pay day is in baseball. I think he was sixth round at one time. He cannot afford another achilles injury.
He was there when it counted and we had no real receivers and he won the VT game almost single handily with the circus catch at the goal post. I think he could be a journey man type receiver in the NFL but do much better in baseball.
" 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!
So who starts at WR this year?
Fortson and Reed??
Or...
Haulstead- Shaw and Green are probably a year away!
lol I was joking.
Waiting for someone to follow it up, but nobody hit this one out of the ballpark.
SCALP 'EM SEMINOLES!
I think were all locked in on NSD
Besides, if I typed what I thought I would be banned for life or worse…I would be forced to wear jorts.
If Easterling switches full time to baseball
Does his Scholly then become a baseball, which frees up another football spot?
It automatically
becomes one for baseball? Doesn’t 11 have to approve it? I doubt they give a full baseball scholly to Easterling unless they have one to spare…
Easterling is on a football scholarship for the 2010 baseball season.
If he drops football prior to this fall’s season, he would then be on a baseball scholarship for 2011. That is my line of thinking.
I think this is the current rule...my understanding is that unless he quits football altogether, he will be on a football scholarship

the Bear Bryant rule
When the NCAA limited the number of football ships allowed per year, the Bear found a loophole and just started giving football players ships in other sports…if for now other reason but to keep good players from going to other teams.

Maybe you've seen this on ESPN by way of Scouts, Inc.
The Next Charles Woodson?
The top prospect in Florida State’s class, Lamarcus Joyner (Miami, Fla./Saint Thomas Aquinas), could very well turn into a defensive Heisman dark horse during his stay in Tallahassee. He is an outstanding athlete who will make his impact on defense, but like former Heisman winner Charles Woodson, Joyner also has the tools to make an impact on offense and in the return game, which could help him gain attention.
Two of their ten fearless predictions are pro-FSU. Excuse me while I finish off this cup of Fisherade.
Lol, as good as that sounds
its a little too soon to be giving Joyner heisman credentials. Let’s get these guys on the field and win some games first.
True
I think it’s too soon to call any of these guys the second coming of (insert legend’s name here). I’m just happy we’re getting positive press.
Could ESPN be jumping from the UF bandwagon to the FSU bandwagon
Bashing Tebow, pumping FSU’s recruits. Hmmm…
Sorry... one second....

Anyway, yeah. As live as we can get depending on what authors are on the site at the time.
Just became a booster today
Had to wait for Bobby to leave and see which direction Fisher was going before I truly bought into the program. These last couple of months really have given me permanent G & G glasses and the future looks really bright. Glad to see more people buying into the change and minor fallout from the change in guard.
Off topic but I had a chance to play soccer with Recardo Wright last week and he says all of the players are really excited about the direction of our program and that they too see the great potential in the new staff and the direction we are headed.
Luc looks huge in that photo...
Can’t wait to see him and Bradham on the field at the same time.
If they can shed blocks well, they absolutely can.
My hope is that we don’t have to rely on the blitz too much…that’s were poor play from the DL can really hurt us. I do think our DL plays better next year, if we can avoid injuries.
by mountain renegade on Feb 2, 2010 3:09 PM EST up reply actions
my guess is a lot of zone with some zone blitzes on appropriate downs, occasional man
I’ve been watching our DVR’s on 2009 Defense. I think the line has more potential than people realize. They just need some help with play calling and Technique to put them in a position to make plays.
this years calls And Techniques were SOOOO Bad that they actually took them out of position most of the time.
Yeah, right!
I agree
Last year’s footage definitely shows at ton of talent and speed on the DL, just a lack of an effective coordinated effort. With the new coaching staff and elite recruits we’re bringing in on D, not to mention the elite offense we have returning, the Noles look primed to return to national prominence relatively soon.
I think the only reason people keep their expectations on here modest is due to the past decade of disappointments. Takes its toll…
We do need more beef, but that is already in route with (McDaniel and Mcray)
We just need the added depth that should come over the next couple of years with the big guys we sign TOMORROW
Yeah, right!
I agree too

absolutely...
but didn’t want to count that egg before it hatches! It will be fun to see how these guys compare to great FSU LB’s of the past (Shade Tree, Brooks, Ernie, etc).
I can't believe how many FSU targets are left undecided
I’d sure get a lot more work done if there was like only 1 or 2 left still having us in the running and the rest had already chosen us, lol. At least TN is here to tell us what’s up. Love it. Tomorrow could suck or could be sick!
I can't help but to remember how everytime
it was between sick or suck it has always sucked, but there is definitely a different feeling this year. Maybe I need to look past my G&G glasses but everyone thought T. Smith was the least likely of the big names to stick and were pretty confident about the others so the fact that even he chose FSU makes me feel really good about tomorrow.
Sick or suck
2005, 2006 thought was sick… sucked
2007 sucked
2008 more sick than suck
2009 Sick (but small)
Still, I’m more optimisitic than usual too. I don’t think this one is gonna go from sick to suck cause of the character being brought in vs the Marcus Ball, Rouse, parker issues we had in the ’05 ’06 sick to sucked classes.

Auburn poster conceding Corey Lemonier to FSU on TR.
Also, footballcane, who was historically thought of as an “insider” on the miami scout board, but who’s connections are now questionable, is reporting Miami will miss on all remaining targets…. in which case, Ego may be FSU as well.
Here’s what TR mod said about footballcane, though, so take above with grain of salt:
Don’t read into that.
footballcane is a GA that worked for the staff. He would go thru the boards and get reads on what other teams where doing and he would throw info out there to stir the pot.
He was supposedly hired by Clint Hurtt who obviously is no longer with Miami. So you can guess as to where FBC employment currently lies.
Needless to say, he did not post anywhere near the amount of info as normal for him and he has been a pretty bitter poster for the last couple months. He’s become a pretty big Randy basher.
Anyways, I stopped following him a couple months ago. He lost his connections to Miami awhile back and uses his name and rep just to slight Randy Shannon at this point.
The many followers that Shadow has on here can back me up on this.
Read somewhere that Cal is still a player for Ego.
Not sure where, or if credible. Ego has been a mystery.
Yes, Cal, ND, and TTech also have come up.
But most speculating it was FSU-Miami recently. The TTech thing relates to his Hargrave coach being pulled onto the TTech staff, though, so that might have legs.
fans conceding a player isn't that telling
half of the FSU fans yesterday had conceded Telvin to UGA.
Fans are conceding that CL called their coaches to let them down.
When those types of more specific rumblings start to proliferate, you can often read into it (i.e., smoke—>fire). Not saying it’s gospel but it is a new wrinkle, and “higher quality” than most of the recruit rumor-mongering.
Good point
A lot of FSU fans did concede Smith..

Hmmmmm
“An onomatopoeia or onomatopÅ“ia, from the Greek ὀνοματοποιία (ὄνομα for “name” and ποιÎω for “I make”), is a word that imitates or suggests the source of the sound that it describes. Onomatopoeia (as an uncountable noun) refers to the property of such words. Common occurrences of onomatopoeias include animal noises, such as “oink” or “meow” or “roar”. Onomatopoeias are not universally the same across all languages; they conform to some extent to the broader linguistic system they are part of; hence the sound of a clock may be tick tock in English and tik tak in Dutch or tic-tac in French."

I bet he reads TN! his thoughts and line of thinking are in line with what is published/shared on TN.
Yeah. I've often thought that either he is straight ripping off TN for a program outline, or he is TN's source for 90% of info.
I picture him with his laptop dialed in to TN just as the show gets underway…hmm what will we talk about today… a ha!
Yeah, right!
He sounds well balanced.
Not overly excited/dejected, ofcourse opinionated but balanced.
Wow!
Virginia Tech plays Boise State – Labor Day 2010!!
Boise is loaded
9 starters on D and 8 on the O (with the QB)

I'm looking around for it
So far, all I found is this article
http://www2.tbo.com/content/2010/feb/02/letos-deering-ready-make-his-pick/sports-prepsports/
This is all I could find
Deering will announce his college decision during the 6 p.m. newscast on NewsChannel 8 and on TBO.com.
Announcing during 6:20pm sports segment. Anyone live in Tampa??

Kid from my HS in winter haven went to Rutgers

Thank God for the men and women who stand tall in the night to protect this great country we love so much
Hopefully he isn't a fan of Fat Bitches
For those of you unfamiliar with Rutgers, its a type of sandwich
im not from NJ
is the the ratio?

My high school had that beat.
We once did a blood drive against our rival and we “won” … until 60% of it had to be tossed due to STDs. They had a ton too but we had more.

Scary
I honestly was starting to forget how real and common STDs are. Birth control is not the only reason to wear protect.
According to article
Deering was first player Fisher visited when he become HC. He’s been all over him.

He's nuts...
in a good way. What a character.
Is Deering an underrated kid?
Didn’t seem to be too coveted…a miss by the recruiting gurus?
the gates wanted him
had over 30 offers…
by garnetandgold on Feb 2, 2010 6:20 PM EST up reply actions
UF offered him
They knew how much we wanted him. I thought they were gonna use him to cover their a** if Dorsey couldn’t get in school
by westcoastnolefan on Feb 2, 2010 6:22 PM EST up reply actions
Is he announcing at the same time as other kids, because I thought we would have
heard something by now
no other kids
channel 8 just dragging it out
keep showing him in the studio with rutgers and noles hats in front of him on a table
by garnetandgold on Feb 2, 2010 6:22 PM EST up reply actions
he actually picked up the Rutgers hat?
golf clap.
http://www2.tbo.com/content/2010/feb/02/letos-deering-chooses-scarlet-over-garnet/sports-prepsports/
looks like TBO dropped the book
or let it out of the bag prior to his verbal..lmao
Rutgers??
the scarlet knights? stinkin’ NJ? honestly?
here is the intro to the article they posted and quickly dropped
Leto’s Deering chooses scarlet over garnet
Leto High senior running back Jeremy Deering announced his verbal commitment to play for Rutgers. …
works now
Jeremy Deering was going to burst somebody’s bubble.
He surprisingly popped Florida State’s.
The Leto High senior running back announced his verbal commitment to Rutgers during Tuesday’s 6 p.m. newscast on NewsChannel 8. He chose the Scarlet Knights over the Seminoles.
The 6-foot-2, 206-pound Deering will sign his letter of intent to Rutgers on Thursday during a ceremony at Leto.
“I felt like it was the place for me and the best offer,” Deering said. “I feel like I’ll get the most playing time there my first year.”
Buckle your seatbelts
I think most of us were surprised yesterday, and most of us were surprised again tonight.
Exactly,
Playing time. It’s all good, RU is getting a good player and that’s better than him going to UF! Tomorrow will be nice i suspect.
"I feel like I’ll get the most playing time there my first year."
well that about sums up his 4-year decision.
Says he wanted a place to stand out
and thought he could play many positions. Oh well, good luck to him in Jersey.
He's going to a first year starter...
for the Fist Pump team.

how sad
that coaches all over have to raid Florida. Do all the athletes up north play hockey?
Only Cali and TX.....
can dispute what im about to say. Florida is THE BEST state in the country for HSFB talent IMHO. Population, days of sunshine and/or warm temps. (Making outdoor training possible)etc. Just my opinion. Granted Fl. rarely produces the top flight QB’s.
Did he take a visit there?
Does he know it blows up there…especially during most of the school year?
hope TN is more accurate in picks tomorrow.
they are 0-2 so far. I know its hard to say who goes where and it’s a guessing game but this isnt very good guessing so far.
My mistake
I read the ThaRingers picks.. thought they were TN’s – I stand corrected.
Who is a better Safety prospect?
Deering or Abrams?
so you're hoping we don't get him?
just curious…we don’t need any more bad apples.
Unfortunately now, Dorsey is almost a must get for us
by westcoastnolefan on Feb 2, 2010 6:32 PM EST up reply actions
I still thing one of the small Ath switch
and are placed at safety.. or we dont move Moody and keep him at safety and we get two more LBs as in Akuna and Jones
We need athletes at the safety positions.
Let Harley, Demps, and Parks dude it out for the two spots. Moody would be a better ‘Will’ backer. QB’s might have a field day with him out in zone
by westcoastnolefan on Feb 2, 2010 6:42 PM EST up reply actions
Maybe he'll wake up tomorrow...
and realize he doesn’t want to go to sinkin’ cold NJ…and fax his LOI to FSU.
Oh well..He'll regret it when were hoisting our 3rd BCS championship trophy..
and hes stuck in the armpit of America…
perhaps sooner...
when his classmates (and other recruits chirping in his ear)…remind him that Rutgers is in NJ. New JERSEY. Yikes.
Deering has more options for PT at Rutgers
WR, RB, etc. At FSU he would only play Safety and there would be some fierce competition for PT at Safety for Deering. I don’t blame him.
Does this mean that we’re basically loaded at Safety?
Nothing can stop us....
@ DB period....
T-rex dip because of Pt and Deering…….we have a good problem at FSU……Potentially the #1 ranked Def. Class for 2010…….if 2morrow goes well, these latest decommits won’t hurt us….
The Luc image doesn't open for me in Chrome.
Anyone having a similar issue? It works in Firefox.
And Warchant is closing their “free board” for NSD. Haha. Crashing and burning, anyone?
Real shocker...
Is WC the only rivals board where posters can’t freely talk about recruiting??
by SeminoleGrad'08 on Feb 2, 2010 8:22 PM EST up reply actions
Rivals, as in the company?
A lot of Rivals team sites don’t have any “free” boards at all. The mod that posted they were closing it down for NSD also said they may not ever re-open it. Not a big loss. Most the posters on there are idiots and the threads are beyond stupid.
And I don’t know why you’d go there for recruiting news when you can come here or to the Scout board (don’t hate) and get open discussion for free. Without recruiting talk, off-season discussions blow.
i can always tell
when a it’s a TN poster on a diff site b/c the comments contain logic and reason, makes me laugh
