Ha Ha!
I was wondering when this was going to be addressed. It got out of control for a bit there…I just figured the powers that be were busy eating Jimmy Johns or something

Quite some time ago.
They’re club but they are pretty damn good. A couple of firsts for them this year too. They recently played an indoor game in Orlando against UF before the Orlando Titans NLL game. Don’t know the score, though.

We ended on a nice high note with Green.
Top to bottom the class is a success. Would’ve liked a few more, but I guess we can’t be greedy.

Greed is good

Got the 2 I most wanted...
and I’m now very pumped about Bjoern. Lemonier won’t pan out (my prediction).
Okay, so is there going to be any glaring depth issues with out defense from this class
Not sure of the numbers off my head from FSUUncensored articles but is there a position that could be a problem in the coming year with depth.
I imagine the charts will be updated soon with the new recruits.
It’ll be easier to analyze then. I can’t think off hand how many “2010 commit” placeholders were present for each position.
by Randall W. Spetman on Feb 3, 2010 4:03 PM EST up reply actions
We look solid everywhere. D-end would be my only worry.
We need a guy to step up & get a lot of sacks.
GO NOLES!!! SCALP EM!
trust me the potential is there
and they will finally have coaching and a decent S&C program, plus new nutritional program as well
We have quality, but youth, at both DE spots.
You could slate them in differently, but we have something along these lines:
SDE:
Dawkins
Cummings
Werner
Hicks
WDE:
White
Jenkins
Stevens
Jackson
Jones stays at LB
and I think Dan Hicks is the sleeper in that group. He has a great frame to add muscle, good pedigree (dad was Dan Footman) and he was a hurdles champion in HS. For those of you that don’t remember his dad, have your friend get in a large SUV and hit you with it. That is what Footman was like.
For next year i dont think we have any
if we can’t sign some DL and OL next class than we start to look a little thin. But after seeing what Jimbo and co. did the last 2 months I can’t imagine they will screw up next years class
Of course, recruit rankings mean nothing.
As much as he has done for the program, Rolle was the #1 consensus recruit but didnt have a huge impact. Now we have to hope the players have the talent and desire and the coaches can get the most out of them.
Signature space available for rent - Got to pay the bills somehow
Won't go into it here too much
But Rolle I think should have been made apparent that he was a standout player by seeing what an average talent like Mangum was able to do there, or his backups.
Rolle has proved to be a potential 2nd round pick, with a year off from football, with a average statistical career. I’d say he’s pretty sensational as a player.
Ponder was a 3*
And IMO he’s one of the best QBs in the game (if healthy)
I like how Auburn's coach admitted that
on ESPN. He said they would not know how their class would be until 2 – 3 years down the road. He started babbling coach speak at first, but then he seemed to get real when it came to the final rankings.
Of course stars aren't the end all be all, but if you're not consistently
bringing in elite classes, you’re not going to be winning. It’s a combination of proper evaluation and coaching, but don’t kid yourselves saying that rankings don’t mean anything. You need elite talent to compete for mNC.
Tools Whore
I am no finding it either
I don’t belive he will be on until later tonight with the other coaches
It's a beautiful day in Tallahassee
Just one comment on PC
Jimbo just said “Size Matters!” Mr. Fisher, you have done your TN homework sir. Well done.

CONGRATS
to FSU and TN on a monumental effort today. All NOLES should proud of the results, and the effort put forth by the coaches and this Top 5 class, and the TN staff for covering this NSD.
I am going to the gym to burn off some lb’s and the Patron from today.
THANKS

what was up with coley and all the 305 cuban coffee bs
we went homeless in the 305
chalk me up as disappointed
For all we know some kid probably told the coaches they were committed
Then flipped. These kids don’t care too much IMO

So it doesn't count if you lock them up early?
If we can take the top 2 out of Dade every year, I won’t complain.
He's technically from Port St Lucie

by FtLauderdaleNole on Feb 3, 2010 4:19 PM EST up reply actions
South Florida is usually Palm Beach, Broward and Dade Counties (in descending latitude).
There’s still Martin County north of PBC before you get to St. Lucie County. It’s north of Lake Okechobee, so, imo, it’s not south Florida.
Time for Coley and Jimbo to take some heat for that. They need to know they aren’t going to be getting the fanboy treatment from us without results.
Yeah
A top 5 recruiting class isn’t good enough. They need to know we won’t stand for that.

So now it not only matters that we get results
It matters where we get the results from. Got it.

It matters that he talks the talk, but failed to walk the walk
Smack talk against UM is no good if you don’t back it up.
Seriously?
This goes back to everybody thinking Coley’s tweets have literal meaning. They’re fluff and hype that aren’t tangible to anything, necessarily. Oh, and we smoked UM in recruiting South Florida this year.
>>---l>
He's just hyping FSU
People really need to pay less attention to what Coley says on twitter. The recruits can think it’s cool or whatever, but it probably shouldn’t be considered relevant.

Lol say whatever you want to UM fans
It isn’t really relevant to what we should expect. They’re in a bad place now and it doesn’t matter why they think it to be the case.
>>---l>
I’m saying don’t beat the drum about South Florida, fail to deliver, and expect to get treated like a god.
I’m still very much on board with Coley and Fisher, this is a small point for me.
They Irk EVERYONE who isn't an FSU fan.
Trust me. I take my fair share of abuse from Coley’s caffeine induced, all capitalized, misspelled tweets.

there’s a link on the front page
So which of our recruits are potential qualifying issues?
Any more Downs or Mizells in this class?
I think Rays mentioned we had one question mark
Assumed to be Tye, I think. I could be wrong. Hopefully I am.

Top 5 recruiting class???
who is ranking us top 5?
the real rankings Rivals will have us between 9-11
rivals vs espn
as we moved up three spots on ESPN we dropped one on Rivals. I love the differences in the two rankings.
Maybe because....
one dont rank JUCO players……..and a couple of our players were sleepers……the kid from South GA…..
ESPN ranking more important
ESPN is the one on TV all day and the website will get more views than RIvals can ever dream off. While I do think Rivals is more spot on in their player rankings, ESPN produces more pub.
by osceolafan850 on Feb 3, 2010 4:45 PM EST up reply actions
And Rivals did not seem to do their homework on Smiley, McCloud.
Rated both of them as low as possible (5.6) on their scale, in terms of a school with offers from big programs.
They both sat out this year
You can’t rate a kid you can’t scout.
by osceolafan850 on Feb 3, 2010 4:49 PM EST up reply actions
He made a good point
about how athletic our freshman are and how their athleticism should be helpful in special teams right away. And not just in returns but coverage.
I think it's probably Willie Williams.
Also, did Mizell go to Washington State? I musta missed that.

Is anyone else happy we did NOT get Demar Dorsey...
I love our newly added Christians and people like them and Ponder representing OUR university instead of…
i wouldnt say im happy
i would have liked to have his talent, but with all the character issues im not bothered by the fact that he did not sign with us. So im in the same boat your in
We'll all have to wait 1-2 seasons to know whether we were happy with Dorsey's decision
Same for everyone we did get. But in the end, I believe more is better in creating depth, and if Jimbo wanted him then we should trust he was worth it.

Crown, I'm not happy with us not getting him...
if that makes sense. I’ll keep my reasons to mahself.
by Randall W. Spetman on Feb 3, 2010 4:21 PM EST up reply actions
I basically agree with NoleLaw
High risk, high reward. If he gets in trouble, its another black mark on the program. If he succeeds, everyone forgets what happened in his HS days, and gives the program credit for taking a chance on a young man with character concerns.
When you have a kid like that, and you don’t know if he will pan out, it hurts a lot less than losing a 5 star, high character guy. It alters the projection on the guys projected benefit as a player.
This is great!
I haven’t been this pumped for FSU football in a while… It’s a great day to be a Seminole!
Definitely. Can you rec a screenname?
well done, NoleySmokes.

Or Mangum...

Can we talk about Copeland?
Did the staff miss on a sure thing (Lemonier) in lieu of bringing in Copeland?

I'm really excited about...
Foose. I really felt like we needed an O-lineman in the class. I know we would have been ok without one, but I think it hurts your depth when you totall whiff on one position in one year- even if it is a team strength. Of course, very excited about getting some guys in real positions of need such as Werner and Jones. All in all, very solid class. Much to be excited about for the next few years!
Mrs. Trickett
She deserves credit for helping us close Werner and Foose. Foose’s Mom was worried about her baby being so far away from home and Mrs. Trickett got on the phone with her and assured her that she would make sure he was taken care of!

That's awesome.
The best recruiting story I’ve heard.
My values: I love my wife, admire my dog, and believe very deeply that Bobby Bowden and Paula Dean were separated at birth.

Fisher just said Craig will be the new RC
But Coley will continue to support. Called them “Tubbs and Crocket” (Miami Vice reference for those that don’t get it).

why would he do that?

Darious Cummings at 277 lbs already....
Jimbo really talking him up….
If only we had a Jimbo Fisher Drinking Game
He’s said “He can run fast, change directions” more times than I can count
Does it worry you that...
our rivals at UF got 12 top 100 players and we get 4 (per Scout)
or that we’d have zero shot at Chaz Green even though he is in a position of need for us and is teammates with Christian Green
mark me down for thinking we still have some work to do
They took a knee in the first half against us.
Do you expect us to be able to pull in the same level of class?
Who’s saying we’re on their level yet?
We also just finished 7-6
And we have a first year head coach and a buttload of new coaches. I think we’ve done more than what was expected of us this year, given the circumstances.
This year’s recruiting is a success no matter which way you spin it. Remember we were like 37th before Bowden retired.
It worries me a little Crown,
but, recruiting is only a piece of the puzzle. What is more important is what we do once we’ve gotten them. Coaching fundamentals (S&C, and schemes) is huge. Without, players don’t get better from year to year (see Chris Rix). How often do you see 5*’s flop and 3*’s play on Sunday. Recruiting is VERY important, but coaching is even more crucial.

Jimbo mentioned him by name during his press conference.
Per NCAA rules, he couldn’t do that unless he has faxed his LOI.

Sounds like we have Luc and Joyner to thank
for the recruiting momentum. Jimbo says they “opened the door.”

I sense Jimbo is trying to show the media he has the “charm” as well.

It's all about discipline.
I’ve seen High School defenses shut down the option. It can be done.
by mountain renegade on Feb 3, 2010 5:18 PM EST up reply actions
I get the impression...
that Fisher is handing the keys to Luc and Joyner to become the leaders of this team. Maybe not immediately, but at some point, and soon.
Only been on TN for a few months...
What do we do and talk about for the next 7 months now? I think I’m going to have withdrawals.

Then your in for a treat
Just wait until you see how ridiculously in depth this site goes in the off season. I learned more about football from this site last off season than anywhere else.
DE Ray Dew
Maybe our top target this year. He is probably a 5 star.

Lot of dead days...
A ton of articles going in depth about things. Basketball takes over big time, as does baseball. Still though, it’s not as fast moving.
SCALP 'EM SEMINOLES!
Great Recruiting Coverage
Best signing day program I’ve seen in awhile. Keep up the good work.
Jimbo
Said it was only one recruit that we didn’t get that he thought we would have gotten…….I think he’s talking about Corey L.
LOL
miami fans are trying to justify how its a good thing they don’t have a top recruiting class this year!
