Seems a pretty obvious offer.

Were we waiting on grades?

I like this kid

Very raw as a route runner but dang, what a physical talent. Is he being recruited as a WR?

About time we offered him

We were all created to be Seminoles. This is why we bleed garnet and piss gold.

i believe an official measurement over a recruiting site

"I guess they have a reputation of being more of a tricky team and not being tough. You hit ‘em in the mouth, and they don’t like it. Other teams that have beat them just hit them in the mouth, so that’s what we started out with.’’ - Nick Moody

Bryce Butler's HS

I live pretty close.

If you torture a statistic enough you can make it confess to anything.

Michael is very high on him and has been saying FSU should offer forever. Kid is worth going to see.

'11: Minimum Goal: Win 10 games again
'10: 7th in offense, 41st in defense. Division Champions. 10-4. (6-3)
'09: 3rd in offense, 107th in defense. 7-6 (4-4)

My alma matter

This kid is a stud. I watched him play last year. Good speed for his size and really good body control in the air

by MNonneman on May 31, 2011 8:41 AM EDT reply actions

Odds

Sounds like a good prospect…. anyone hear how good of a position we are in getting him in the Garnet and Gold?

by cdiss21 on May 31, 2011 8:43 AM EDT reply actions

Croom will camp at FSU on June 19th

I would say FSU is one of his top 5 schools. He is very high on Mississippi State and will visit them this weekend.

WR in Mullens O?

Seems like a stretch to see a reciever with his upside wanting to sign with that type of system. Thanks for the info Michael.

You'd think w/ a last name of Croom that he'd avoid Mississippi State

I’m just sayin’.

by lawdy15 on Jun 1, 2011 12:14 AM EDT up reply actions

Wow that kid looked like a linebacker lined up at receiver

I’m impressed with this kid, I had not seen any film of his up until now. But I am glad that FSU has offered him, he looks like he could be a physical force out there. His routes could definitely use some work, but a guy that big running a double move at the 1:17 mark and then blowing by the db(even though it is high school) is pretty impressive.
Two questions though Michael

1.Have you seen any film of how his blocking looks and how physical he is on running plays?
2.Any idea how we stand with him?

Other than that thanks for the post man!

Been waiting on them to offer this kid.

Fortson clone

by ryandinho on May 31, 2011 10:35 AM EDT reply actions

+10-15 pounds

And Fortson was like 3-5% BF, to boot.

I would enjoy seeing this kid knockdown 5'9, 175 lbs. CBs all day

G5

Could practice his signature “knockout blow” move on him in practice.:)

and bounce off

I didnt get a harrumph out of that guy!

by Dcubbienole on May 31, 2011 3:42 PM EDT up reply actions

Fortson? Calvin J?

I’m hoping more of an Anquan Boldin type out of his frame if he’s legit 6-3 227 with some burners. Route running and high pointing work and he will be a stud somewhere.

My coworker's son plays WR at Norcross

albeit, he plays JV I believe (but does dress with Varsity, policy of the coach to make the team look bigger). I’ll ask him for any inside scoop. But his son is not very good and I doubt they are friends, but since they play the same position, maybe he can find out something in practice.
