Jameis Winston commits to Florida State

Jameis Winston, the 5 star QB from Alabama, has committed to Florida State. Since the summer, Winston has been debating between Florida State and Alabama. The belief is that he was debating between playing in his home state of Alabama and playing for one of the best QB coaches in the nation in Jimbo Fisher. He made a late visit to Alabama in late July. Florida State finally won out.
Jameis has very few flaws to his game. He's rated the best dual-threat quarterback in the nation. He passed for over 2300 yards and rushed for another 800 in his 13 game junior season. He only threw three interceptions on the year. His arm strength is good, his running ability is tremendous, and his leadership is one of the most impressive things about his game. During the summer, he was paired up and was buddy-buddy with what could be his future mentor EJ Manuel at the Elite 11 QB camp. His accuracy might be his one downfall. Still, he was the best QB at the Elite 11 camp, and Jimbo Fisher is getting a good one.
The only downside to Winston is the potential that he could play pro baseball. He has the potential to be drafted high and stiff the college team he signs with, e.g. Joe Mauer. He could also play baseball in the spring, and football in the fall. Nick Saban is against his QBs playing any other sport, this probably helped lead Winston to pick Florida State. Nonetheless, this is a great signing for Florida State, and the highest rated QB signing for FSU since 2004 with Xavier Lee (hope I didn't just jinx it). Check out film after the jump.

He likes FSU and the college game so much, he’ll stay for his SR year.

As a Patriot/Bucs fan living in DC
I agree that he wasn’t here. But I bet he does better (small task) in New England
I don't think the Pats will ever be the worst team in the NFL, not with Bill Belichick as coach. Say what you will about him being a dick, but he can coach him some football.
I guess they could trade for the pick.

I just wish that he had put it together
when he started out HCing with my Browns. I started calling him Bill Bellacose (sp?) back then because he always looked dispeptic. Then he went to New England and suddenly turned into Bill Walsh 2.0.
You know why he got great when he went to New England?
Tom Brady. Bellicheck is the same coach as he was with the Browns, and he was terrible at NE until Brady got into the lineup.
Backwards.
Bellicheat figured his stuff out, which is what made Brady “great.” Put Tommy boy on any other team and zzzzzz.
They won 11 games the season when Tom Brady got hurt in the 1st game, and somehow didn't make the playoffs.
As with all great teams, there are many factors that go into them being great. Both Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are among the best that have ever done there job. I’m not a Pats fan, just someone that respects greatness. Like them or not, they are both great at what they do, period.

Bellicheck is great at a few things
Wheeling and dealing draft picks and players, maximizing value, assembling top flight coordinators, attention to detail…but for the most part, he’s the same coach as he was in Cleveland. The main difference is that the players he surrounds himself with are vastly better. Tom Brady included.
Football is won with players, not plays.
I have no opinion on what he did in Clevelend. If you say “he was terrible” while he was there, I will neither agree or disagree with you. But if what you say is correct, somewhere, somehow, on his way to New England, he became a great coach. To bad he didn’t become more likeable.
As for “Football is won with players, not plays.” Football games are won by a combination of many things. No football team, or any team for that matter has ever won a championship without exceptionally good coaching. I have seen many teams loaded with talent, squandered by poor coaching (See F.S.U in “the lost decade”). I have also seen teams without any superstars, but with exceptional coaching, and a will to win; become champions, and superstars (See the New England in 01-02 season, playoffs, and Super Bowl XXXVI).
When a coach is able to
A- Wheel and deal for draft picks and players.
2- Bring in the right players with his wheeling and dealing.
D- Then get the maximizing value out of the players he brings in.
8- Assembles top flight assistant coaches, and coordinators.
H- While always paying close attention to detail.
Then that coach has done an exceptional job. When that coach continually does an exceptional job year after year, that is what people call a “Great Coach”. The reason so many people are so excited about F.S.U and where the program is going is because we see CJF doing all of these things (replace drafting players with recruiting players). He is doing an exceptional job (and by all accounts, he is an exceptionally good person too). If he continually does an exceptional job for a fraction of the time Coach Bowden did, he will be considered a great coach also.
One last point, If you think coaching doesn’t matter, just look at the difference Coach Fisher and company had in 1 year. There is on one person that has more to do with a team winning and loosing than their head coach.

For those who are wondering
this should not affect Sean Maguire’s commitment status with FSU. You never know in recruiting, but our coaches have been up front with Sean all along that they would continue to pursue Jameis.

This article shows he is a 5.
I liked it (for younger folks anyway)
Probably because it wasn’t the ugly, drab crap that NIKE puts out for FSU (I’m talking fan gear…our football uniforms are still sweet). Most FSU stuff needs a serious makeover from the dark purplish maroon and beige stuff that NIKE makes.
I wish we wore our ProCombat unis on a full time basis, rotate between all Garnet, all Black, and all White...that would be sick!

How come Florida State?
Comfortable there
Best thing Fisher said during recruitment?
Fisher and Martin had a great relationship. Said it and prove it.
What kind of reaction do you expect from Alabama fans?
They’ll probably hate him but his focus is on high school
What is the likelihood he’ll pursue a MLB career?
He’s thinking about that but is focused on high school right now.
He plays Defense too? Any film of him playing Middle Linebacker?
I’m pretty sure we keep him at QB.:)

Not entirely true about Richardson
He’s from Pensacola, which is traditionally Bama country. But, with the way things are going now, that could change…
Pensacola is in LA
Lower Alabama, almost equally divided between Aub, Ala, FU and FSU. Which is one of the reasons Aub and Bama are tied for 3rd on my most hated list
3 hours from Tallahassee
4 from Tuscaloosa, more from Auburn. FSU should be getting every single top recruit from this place. And trust me, we HATE it when people think we’re part of Alabama :)
Auburn is definitely closer than 4 hours from Pensacola
Not exactly sure of the time, but it only takes ~2.5 hours to get to Montomery.
The LA talk is irritating.

But that’s nothing but a rumor.
Why else would he all of the sudden move his verbal date up?

I think Black commits to FSU...
Alabama is not necessarily at wide receiver friendly school or a quarterback friendly school for that matter…
We haven’t been either. One first rounder (Walker) since Warrick, and he was a JUCO. Our best receiver in 10 years was Anquan Boldin and we did the best we could to squander him. I know, I know, new staff etc but I wouldn’t say HS receivers view us any better than Bama.

He was
and played a darn good Sugar Bowl against UGA that might have been different had Talmon Gardner not dropped 2 sure tds. Oh and the exponential dumbness of Rix and McPherson.
Gardner
My buddy works at a sprint store here in Metairie, LA and he had Talmon Gardner as a customer and he gave him the Tomahawk Chop. Said Talmon was amped up about the Noles this year and will be making a few games this year for the first time in a few seasons…. Even the fellas of the dark ages are getting amped up! Said he was a really nice guy.
FSU, home of the Bandit! Enough said!
Yep.
Competed with Rix for the job in fall practice of ’01 (and was said to be in front in that competition), even though he played WR the year before. Then he tore his ACL.
Who knows how history would have changed if Boldin is the starting QB instead of Rix.
You realize we had Adrian McPherson, Joe Mauer, Chris Rix, and Anquan Boldin
in like a four year timespan? I really think all four could’ve at the least won All-ACC.
33 days till the season starts.

Yes, it's very depressing. I was there from '01 to '05.
But let’s be honest, McPherson kinda did it to himself. He finally got the starting job from Rix (probably just an attempt to cover JB’s deficiency as OC, him hoping AD could make him look good). Caught a severe case of knucklehead-itis or else it would have come to fruition.
Oh I agree. and Mauer should've went to MLB.
Still, all four of those guys are extremely talented. Xavier Lee was too.

Can make very good cases for Craig, Coley, Odell and Gran. That’s to say nothing of Jimbo’s (already) proven ability to be a closer and the job that DJ and Dawsey have done in their respective areas along with the upfrontness that Coach Trickett brings to the process and jobs that Hudson and Stoops done in showing recruits that if they come they will prosper in just 1 year at FSU.

Yes, good point. From what I have heard he had a lot to do with it.
I think keeping the players that you currently have on your team happy has to be one of the biggest pluses you could have in recruiting, and it appears CJF and company do a great job of that. EJ surely seems happy, and JW being paired with him at the E11 had to help.

Our current staff has to be considered one of the strongest groups of recruiters ever put together.
To put it in perspective, as damn good as Bobby was as “the closer” and all that jazz…I’d still take this group over any of Bobby’s groups. I think their analysis/evaluation (big key), aggressiveness, persistence, etc. is simply unmatched, and they’re incredibly focused. You can see the type of player they’re going after at just about every position, much unlike the old glory teams of FSU when we had a tendency to go after guys in all shapes and sizes as long as they were athletes and could run.
getting such a staff was not by accident.

“He recruits our area,” Scott said. “Obviously he had an impact there. Ain’t no question about it, they worked hard recruiting him. The last two years, especially last year, he was here a lot. That definitely made an impact, there ain’t no question.”

It's obvious that a lot goes on behind the scenes that we peons know nothing about.
Thanks Mr. Craig.
Honestly
If you broke down the amount of time, effort and energy it requires per top tier kid. It would blow you away. That’s why it was always entertaining the “close fast” like FSU did during the Bowden days. It’s counter productive because you can divert more time to early evals.

The best part is they are so mad
I have seen a couple different Bama fans say yea they play in the weak add ACC let them play s. In my head I think we won the SECe last year and in our lost decade, the second half of it. We beat Bama. A game we basically forget about cause it was in our zombie years

That play fake at about the 5 minute mark was just unreal.
I had to rewind it a few times. You just don’t see ball fakes like that at the HS level.
Baseball sucks
everyone here knows that no sport holds a candle to the sensation that is football. You may make good money in baseball but baseball is dying a slow death (or for people like me, is already dead); playing in the MLB doesn’t even compare to the phenomenon that is college football… moreover, NFL.
just needed to be said…
Championship!
p.s. I'm talking about popularity here
which is measured by TV ratings, total revenue generated, etc. Hell, women’s soccer destroyed baseball TV ratings… as does many other stuff on TV.
Championship!
Yeah, I like the game and really find the history of it fascinating.
That said, I agree baseball is dying. At least for me it is. I haven’t watched 9 straight innings in a couple years now. I’m not even entirely sure why, but I know I’m not the only one.
FSU games are the only thing I will watch straight through without flipping channels on the commercials
definitely can’t do 9 innings straight.
The pay's better in college football too.

25 game season
Play a 25 game season in baseball and it would reach the popularity of football. I agree football is much better, but I refuse to let baseball go. Same goes for the NBA, with a 75+ game season interest is just lost, because not every game matters.
FSU, home of the Bandit! Enough said!
25 games would be way too few for MLB
That would essentially be a crap shoot
by nolesblogger on Aug 4, 2011 10:50 PM EDT up reply actions
Would weed out the non-elite
with 25 game season staffs would only carry the best of the best. Guys like Oliver Perez wouldn’t have 10 year careers. Wouldn’t be a crap shoot if there were only two starters per team it would even out the competition. Pittsburg could afford to pay two pitchers, because as it stands now the Phills and other big spenders just have the ability to outbuy pitching which causes a gap. Yeah 25 might be short but 50, now that would be reasonable.
FSU, home of the Bandit! Enough said!
It would be a crap shoot due to the statistical variability that is inherent to baseball.
There’s a reason why teams like the Indians can go 30-15 and immediately followed by 23-36. 50 games is just too small of a sample size.
by nolesblogger on Aug 5, 2011 10:40 AM EDT up reply actions
Boston started off what 0-8
So they would be almost eliminated in a 25 game baseball season. And we know where they are now. Takes a month to even get started half the time

I’m glad Jameis made the right decision for himself. If your a qb, I can’t think of anyone else you would want to play for other than Jimbo. He sounds like a great kid as well.
