2012 Recruiting Discussion Thread #40 [CLOSED]

PrintWelcome to the recruiting discussion thread. Please refer to the Recruiting Board for information on prospects. We are asking readers comment here instead of the recruiting board so that the recruiting board will load quicker. Feel free to talk recruiting news, rumor, information, etc. Amateurs and experts are all welcome. No question is too simple. Have a projected class? That's fine as well.
Once this thread fills up, we will start a new one.
If you post information from another site, please indicate from where you read it.
Specific Player Questions (Check here before asking)
- Mario Edwards Jr.- Michael@TN reported that Edwards commitment to Florida State is again solid after the Unofficial Visit during the NC State 34-0 blowout. Edwards Jr will Official Visit Florida State on January 13.
- Dante Fowler- His recruitment has been very interesting. He's grown up a Florida State fan, but still has ties to Florida. He's taken multiple visit to Florida, including this summer when he was rumored to be leaning toward Florida. He also took in the beating Florida received from Alabama in early October. He's remained a Florida State commitment, but is scheduled to take official visits to University of Southern California, as well as Louisiana State. Those schools should not matter though, as he's been quoted as saying it's down to Florida and Florida State. His recruitment should be something interesting to watch.
- Dorial Green-Beckham- FSU is not in the race for this receiver from Missouri. His brother is very sick and he wants to stay closer to Arkansas. That means Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, etc. Not FSU.
- Andrus Peat- One of the more intriguing players in this class. Although at first glance you question why a kid from Arizona with a brother at Nebraska would go to FSU, there is some interest here. Peat's grandparents surprisingly live in Tallahassee. FSU still isn't the favorite to get Peat, that's probably Nebraska, but it's not impossible for Peat to be a Nole come signing day. And there is no question that FSU would take him if he wants in. 1/4/12 update: Corey Long of ESPN.com is reporting he plans to visit FSU the weekend of January 20th.
- Jameis Winston- is a Nole. There's no talk of him switching to hometown Alabama. There's no visits scheduled to Florida State yet (that are known of), but there are none to Alabama either. No need to worry about this point.
- Mario Pender - from all our sources, he's enrolled and attending classes.
Official Visits
1/13/2011
WR Nelson Agholor
OT Menelik Watson- Juco OT who has been playing football for only a year. One of the best athletes you will find on the offensive line, but is just learning the game.

Update 1/16
- Added the 2012 recruiting board.

Been saving this comment, but with the Leonard Williams saga heating up this weekend, I think it is timely
I think I now realize what the coaches did last year. They got two OL recruiting classes for the position in one year. We took enough guys to use some as Freshmen while also redshirting a few. Now there will be several Sophomores next year and several Freshmen. The cost of course is that this year we had to depend on True Freshmen that otherwise would have been Redshirt Freshmen.
I think that’s almost exactly what we’re doing this year. We missed badly at DE in 2011. That was a crucial year because of what 2013 is going to look like. I think the idea behind going after a 4th dE here is to fill twp recruiting classes worth of DEs at once in order to provide the depth we will sorely miss in 2013 should we only land 3 (or even 2) DEs. This year.
What’s ridiculous is that we’re gonna be in the same crap position with OL next year.

I've considered this as well.
Perhaps we will be in better shape in 2013 due to some on-the-field success, etc.
Formerly known as Randall W. Spetman.
Chewing this over a bit.
Which OL took shirts?
And which of the 4 DE’s are you proposing take shirts?
I think Pettis was the only OL to redshirt
I know matias, hart, lovelady, Barron, and Jackson all played.

We would have liked to hae had more shirts
But that injury luck cost a couple. I am sure they really wanted to shirt Hart

And if rumors from other sites are true.
we’ll have had another OL red-shirt in Derick Mitchell

by BenDNole on Jan 17, 2012 11:47 PM EST via Android app up reply actions
Numerous scouting sites
mentioned Mitchell as having the prototypical raw skills for being a left tackle. Rivals for one did.
by Wild@Heart Nole on Jan 18, 2012 9:31 AM EST up reply actions
Mitchell led the state in sacks as a senior why would you move him to a position he is not even as close as good at? Newberry was a stud DL/OL but Mitchell idk

The Dynasty called...
It wants its ridiculous wealth of DL talent back. But seriously, what a luxury to switch a kid who’d probably start next year for quite a few teams. Our DL depth is just filthy.
Control the Sunshine State & sooner or later you'll control the country.
Casher, Fowler, Williams
Take your pick of any 2. We don’t need an 8 or 9 man rotation at DE. If we don’t redshirt any of them, it doesn’t per se change the depth situation in 2013, but it does speed up the clock on us bringing in more DEs in the future.

Rumor is that Hicks may move to TE
If that is the case then when Werner bolts earlier that leaves us with Newberry (if he is still at end) and whoever we bring in for 2013

Disagree with your assesment of the OL in the Future
We will have the following SO and FR. Orelus, Pettis, Carter, Matias, Lovelady, Jackson, Barron, and Hart. That’s one hell of an underclass. With Stork, Krug, Glasier, and Faircloth and most likely Watson. As long as we get 3-4 in the next cycle, we should be Just fine. We paid the price this year but should reap the benefits for the next 3 years.
by MeBeFirst on Jan 17, 2012 11:47 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
OL
IMO, OL is a position that requires RS in order to be able to compete against the best teams. Therefore, we should bring in three OL each year, RS one year, get their feet wet one year, and then work in. A position needing to redshirt, signing 5 one year 1 one year, 2 one year, IMO just doesn’t work.
By going on Rivals, you can look at a team’s recruiting for all of the prior years and click on POS and it will put in in order so you can check who has been signing what position and how many every year. Alabama seems to sign 3 every year.
Anybody else find it strange..
Aaron Lynch and Gunner Kiel both spurned a team late in recruiting and then ended up enrolling early at Notre Dame.. I think thats kinda fishy..
I'm going to delete anything regarding Aaron Lynch
Time to move on…..

Working in Warner Robins, Ga today and a Vols fan almost wanted to fight about Pender coming to TENN. He said there was noway he could be EE at FSU. I will show him the green screen tomorrow. Any big news other than Pender today? A friend left me a message to check out what Auburn is doing with no OC? Any big news for FSU?
If there is, it'll be on our front page once verified.

I would like to see FSU take another respectable TE if there’s a scholarship open that won’t be otherwise filled by a need. Looking at his film, he moves like a WR.
Isn't there another recruit game coming up?
Which of our targets are playing?
Roses are red, Violets are blue, If it wears orange, Kill it.
The international Bowl. Feb. 1st
I believe Winston is the only Nole playing in it
I think Darby mentioned it to
Said if he does it, his decision will be pushed back. I’m not sure of that has changed.

the announcement will be after NSD.
Sean Maguire is playing in it
for those interested in our backup to Winston
Winston is too
Tomahawk Nation- Great FSU football and English lessons!
Bjoern Werner played in it a couple years ago
Maybe their is a couple of international sleeper recruits – hopefully on the OL that may earn a very late in the game scholarship.
Their is actually a lot of good players in that game. Winston, Darby, Malcome Brown, Noor davis, Marcus Maye, Todd Gurley, Devante Harris, etc. Im interested to see how Maguire does.
There is the game at FAU's new stadium this Saturday.
Bobby is coaching one team and Howard Schnellenberger is coaching the other team. It is for Florida or Florida connnected seniors. It is a nice showcase for kids who are not high on the recruiting boards. Is that the game that you were thinking of?
You are right.
I re-read the article in the Sun-Sentinel. The game is for college seniors and is a showcase for State of Florida college seniors and Florida connected seniors who are not high on the NFL draft boards. I am an idiot. Thank you for correcting me. There it is, seven years of college wasted.

This recruiting season
Has probably been the most frustrating for me. In years past when FSU was down so were my expectations, so UF pulling top guys didn’t bother me as much. Now after two pathetic seasons and coaching turnover their class is outstanding. Them getting Humphries, Dunker, and possibly Avery where we cant get 1 highly touted impact lineman confuses me. I know we have Peat visiting this weekend but we’re hoping JW convinces him. Now their fully confident their closing with Diggs, Howard, Hamilton, Algholar, etc is unreal considering previous issues. Their class is extremely well rounded aside from QB (taking 2 last year) and RB where they missed on Davis. Between listening to them trying to flip Fowler every day for 6 months and deciphering what’s true or untrue about FSU recruits commitment status I’m ready for Feb 1st. Although having a good friend who happens to be a UF fan probably compounds all of that.

'Gentlemen, it is better to have died a small boy than to fumble this football.' John Heisman
To be fair...
…even when we started the slide, we still got some big recruits based on past success/reputation. I think we had top 5 classes in 2004 and 2005. Not that they necessarily panned out…
They definitely didn't have the skid that FSU had but
I still love our class more than theirs, we pulled in a ton of OL last cycle we don’t need many this time. We are addressing our needs and so are they.
Lasy year UF felt the same way
They lost Timmy J, JWJ, Waisome, Kelvin B to us and all had been considered UF locks at some point. We can only bring on about 20 while UF can bring about 30 depending on EE’s. This was going to be their year no matter what happened in recruiting.
Addressing the O-line i think a number of poeple are frustrated with that. R.T. is on the hot seat and another year like last year and he won’t have a seat at FSU. Man has been recruiting is tail off to try and make things look better.
Yep
Losing jernigan was a gut shot.
And FWIW, We’re not getting Hamilton or Young.
Agholor and Diggs are more possible, and that would be tremendous.

They are continuously visiting him and he’s bringing a lot of family members this weekend to UF, which he hasn’t done on previous visits. Like most of he chooses AU I’ll be interested as to how.

There's few dominoes left to fall with Blake
Devante Harris (who decommited from OU) committed on monday to TAMU leaving them with six DB commits currently. I think he’s possibly Blake’s replacement. Long story short I think the competition for Blake might come from OU as opposed to A&M. Just don’t see the Aggies keeping six total DB commits

I'm not worried at all.
Our coaches have recruited him in both Baseball and Football forever. There is continuity between both staffs. Both staffs know how to handle two sport athletes. FSU has a phenomenal history with 2 sport athletes (a fellow named Deion would like to remind you).
We have one of the top QB coaches in the country as our head coach, a guy Saban trusted.
Mike Martin and Jimbo are friends, apparently, and have both been very open about how Jameis can play 2 sports at FSU.
Jameis has spent plenty of time explaining to ALL media, ALL reporters, on Twitter, that FSU is where he’s going. How many times does a kid have to say he’s solid before Bama fans believe it?
And honestly, are you really naive enough to believe he’ll switch for a QB coach introduced to him 2 weeks before NSD?
You’re pretty reasonable, overall, but I think it’s been gone over many times, Winston is a Nole. His twitter constantly mentions his annoyance with local people, talked plenty about FSU, etc.

My photo appeared in the Nightlife photo collage of the FSView for six weeks in-a-row. That’s who I am.
And your d line
Is just simply sick. Add the current recruits if they all stick, throw in Goldman and your rotation will be as good as lsu was this year.

I'm hearing if Agholor's trip to USC doesn't sell him, FSU may lead UF for his services.

cool
where are you hearing that??
"Recruiting is like shaving. You better do it everyday or you will look like a bum"
Can't disclose. But I've read multiple places that his trip to FSU really put us back on the map.
Bud once said something like, “If Agholor leaves the state, he goes to USC. If he stays, he goes to Florida.”
This may still be the case. But I get the impression it’s now a UF/FSU battle, should Agholor decide to stick around.
Why can't you disclose this information?

Because somewhere a puppy would die.
“Premium” info from paid sites is frowned upon. We do our own thing here.

And if it’s frowned upon then he shouldn’t have said that here in the first place

I'm not saying I know where he got it from.
I’m saying if he says he can’t disclose it, that could be a reason.

you are correct
the logic to the USCw visit going bad scenario is flawed

If Agholor is visitng USC this weekend...
It is supposed to start raining Friday night and rain all weekend…FWIW.

If we whiff on some of the big name guys
(hypothetically, since it seems we’re looking good to close strong)…in that case would we have some guys waiting in the wings we would “settle” on? If Darby/Goldman/Watson/Northrup were to go elsewhere? Or do we save a few schollies?
No settling
Jimbo wont hand out schollies just to fill spots. They must be FSU caliber

Of course not, I didn’t mean signing SCRUBS…I was wondering if there’s a 2nd tier to “FSU caliber” if the top dawgs don’t work out.
No second tier
Jimbo is not in the business of recruiting back-ups with back-up level talent. He recruits 1st teamers across the entire depth chart
"Recruiting is like shaving. You better do it everyday or you will look like a bum"
I think he means some diamonds in the rough like Austin Barron
that we may like, but, haven’t given a commitable offer to yet because we don’t want to have to tell them to take a hike like Bama did. Like maybe a Lavatiae Kelly if he can qualify. On one of the threads Micheal said he claimed to have an FSU offer. Or someone like that?

Didn't notice this anywhere on here, but..
Is there any updates on us flipping Northrup from “thee you”? Is he a priority or is he more of a backup if someone else falls through?
If life gives you lemons, go ahead and watch some FSU football.
Northrup is a priority and the magic 8-ball says all signs are pointing to "yes"
'Gentlemen, it is better to have died a small boy than to fumble this football.' John Heisman
Excellent.. I heard he grew up a 'Nole fan, so it probably shouldn't be too hard.
If life gives you lemons, go ahead and watch some FSU football.
I think he could commit as soon as this weekend, personally

Plus, it would be good to keep a pipeline in Jacksonville.
Even if some of the most recent Jacksonville players haven’t worked out so well, withholding certain names here.

I really feel bad for Cal Bear fans now (even more so, I should say)
To find out that a guy who grew up near your school & stared there not only left just before singing day for an in-conference team(as you are assembling an epic class), but also was recruiting players for UW while still officially part of Cal, left while he was supposed to meet with a top recruit along with Tedford (did not tell Tedford he would not show up or be leaving at that time), and didn’t tell his current d-line. What a slimy bastard. I truly hope this kind of thing never happens here at FSU. I’m glad we have a whole crew of great recruiters too, and are not just dependent on one guy.
"I spent 90 percent of my money on women and drink. The rest I wasted!"
Recruiting Question Need Some Help On
When a player committs then signs LOI to be an early enrollee, then that prospect is counted as a recruit in the previous year’s class? If so, we then currently have 12 committments thus enabling us to land a few more prospects in the class. I just didnt know for sure so any replies/comments are welcome. Thanks alot tomahawknation!!
It depnds on if you have roster spots avaliable on how many we can take but the EEs for this year class will be -3 toward next years class not this years
Correct me if I am wrong but I think that is how it works
GO NOLES!!! SCALP EM!
Most elite teams oversign and cut the fat and greyshirt to fit them all in. Saban is the king of this
GO NOLES!!! SCALP EM!
IIRC
Roster turnover was a major goal for CJF when he assumed the role. If I understand this correctly, schollies are awarded on a year to year basis so there is a very good possibility that Jimbo doesn’t renew the schollies of a few underachievers. This would make room for some and mitigate any oversigning. I can predict a couple that wont get their schollies renewed, but this is a recruiting thread. Saban absolutely believes in roster turnover and I think Jimbo does too.

I hope you are right
what position are we taking Louis at though?
Me too.
WR, however I heard that Karlos Williams may be switching to offense and Newberry to offensive line. I have learned that FSU will take Louis either as WR or DB. With Newberry switching to oline and reported that Dan Hicks may switch to TE, frees up a spot hopefully for Leonard Williams at DE position on d.
what's an LOL that these players sign?
just messing; but they don’t sign a LOI, they sign grant papers
That'd be one hell of a class!

Other Targets that will land elsewhere
Tracy Howard
Nelson Agholor
Josh Harvey Clemmons
Andrus Peat
Would love to land these guys, but hell who wouldnt? LOL. All 5 star recruits according to Rivals.com. I think just my opinion, Howard and Agholor will be Gators, Peat off to Nebraska and Clemmons staying home to be a Dawg.
2 to Switch otherwise I buy it all.....
Call me crazy but…..We land Agholor in a photo finish but lose Leonard Williams. That dog will hunt!
Obsessed with Seminole football!!
Hope your right
Be awesome to land both, but ill come back to reality, lol, be a great if we were to land 1 of the 2
Remember this.....
If you always go by the book, you will never be in the book! Said another way, you can’t always pick the favorite, got pick a few flyers, I choose Agholor as my flyer this year!

Howard’s better now. But it will be interesting to see what the story is in 3 or 4 years.
Darby looked great in the UA game. I wasn't even looking for him and he kept making plays
Not sure if Howard played as well in the Army game as Darby did in the UA game
