Ricardo Louis Commits To Florida State Seminoles

ricardo louis

Ricardo Louis, one of the top athletes in Florida, has decommitted from the Auburn Tigers and committed to the Florida State Seminoles. Louis had been committed to the Tigers for almost a year.

Louis stars for Miami Beach High School. He is 6'2", 205 pounds. The four major recruiting services rate him four-stars and most have him as one of the top 200 players in the country. Louis holds offers from 15 BCS teams. Florida State had its eye on Louis for a while, and for good reason. Auburn is still without an offensive coordinator as well, which certainly did not help the Tigers' chances of keeping Louis.

Louis is an explosive athlete with an impressive vertical leap. He lacks track speed, but has excellent body control. He is very quick and hits his top speed immediately. Louis is a very aggressive player and a special athlete. He's raw as a receiver, but has all the physical tools. Louis will play receiver for Florida State, but is also capable of playing defensive back.

Louis was an Under Armour All-American and was quite impressive in Orlando.

Louis is the 16th commitment for the Florida State Seminoles, who have by far the best recruiting class in the country on a per-recruit basis.

With the recruiting we’ve done the past two years, we must have deep pockets to buy all these prospects. Who do we have a booster these days? Bill Gates?

are we outright buying recruits? unlikely.

are we fudging the rules, like everyone else? absolutely, or we wouldnt win more than 3 games a year and only the lifelong Nole fans or leftovers would commit.

Seems like there are alot of options with this kid. He looks really thick for 205. His frame looks like he could even develop into a freakishly athletic TE if FSU so chooses. I’d love to see him stay on offense, looks like a gamechanger. Just don’t know what that would mean for Los’ move to offense. We are ridiculously loaded at WR already w/o counting Los or Louis.

Some services have a hard time taking a posititon switch into account.
Harder for the services to look at a kid that had just a little over 400 yards as a top wr. Numbers mean more than they should to those folks. Like All Conference or All American selections.

The biggest argument you will hear to counter that is the fact that he is very raw at WR. I think he should be listed as an athlete and probably be in the top 150.

Nah man.

He’s the kind of raw that could see a translation to polished in a year, maybe two. Benjamin’s the kind of raw that might pan out.

Of course, this is my opinion… but he looked like what he knows he is doing to a certain extent on the football field. He seems highly motivated. These are two things that he has over Benjamin already.

He plays for a terrible high school team, who I believe hasn’t had a D-1 prospect in the past 5 years. Get this kid some good coaching and he has the potential to do some scary things. Elite athlete who timed 4.55 40, 4.25 shuttle(quickness), and a 40+ inch Vertical Jump(explosiveness) at over 200lbs.

Aside from the few freaks that are around each year

I love being able to redshirt as many players as possible even if they are 4* kids if we have the depth. All kids are in for a surprise hitting D1. Middle of the road teams that red shirt pretty much everyone may not have as much talent as others but can stay on the field sometimes.

You dont redshirt freaks that can make an impact from day 1. Like Jernigan, Clowney, Watkins, and just some freaks.

But if a position is loaded, A RSFr can get so much more valuable then a True Fr playing cause of need or just being a good athlete. I mean I see Casher or Fowler being in postion to Red Shirt. May not happen with such top talent. But its a waste for them to burna year when they are already going to be behind such depth this year. Even if they may start year 1 for many schools

by NoleLaw on Jan 20, 2012 2:36 PM EST up reply actions  

That he will be learning a ton from top coaches

That if he can play he will get playing time as a Red shirt and get quality snaps. He can see young guys play by looking at the team and who plays now. that he will have Coker throwing to him who he can take reps with all year. And then possibly have the best QB recruit throwing to him for a few seasons. Some kids know they are good. And they want the NFL ticket and most believe they have it. If a kid doesnt have a huge ego and is willing to learn. be a part of a special team and program that is rising to the top. And having an extra season to prepare while learning a ton from coaching and being that much better when he plays is something many are willing to do if they know it could get them to play on Sundays one day. Some kids just understand, its the Ego’s that need to start and play from day 1

Gotcha

Didn’t know he got hurt again after he came back from the hand injury. I’d like to see Dent stay (not necessarily over Haggins; may the best man win). I like our WRs as a group, but only a couple of them aggressively attack the ball in the air and he’s one of them. His blocking has improved and he’s played well on some special teams units.

If docs say he can go then he has to play. If sadly he gets another at that point its not a hard decision. But unless after a year hes still not cleared by the docs and their is legitimate concern dont see him getting chopped. He still has 2 years of eligibility correct?

I would couch my answer by saying…

Failing a physical is “easy” just as passing one is But to a larger point, you can DQ out of “risk of injury” in some cases – depending on what your program’s policy is. Not to mention a staff can just ask a player to take a DQ (under the guise of that potential risk).

Abram plays ST, but i want to see him beat Beverly for real PT on offense or let him go too. ST is for the youngins to get their feet wet, not upperclassmen.

Ah...

I thought you may have been referring to Brian Kelly…who actually DOES have the #1 QB in the country by some standards.

Formerly known as Randall W. Spetman.

Kiel

is a headcase, afraid of competition & not the #1 QB, IMO. Didnt he fold in the QB competition in Malibu w Winston?

Championship!

He didnt fold. Winston was just better.

Honestly I think he’s at ND to make his mom happy and not get grief from people in Indiana.

Actually

When Jimbo took over wasn’t that recruiting class ranked about #37 or so? We did finish with a furious flurry – using about half a staff.

by Invictus13 on Jan 20, 2012 10:30 PM EST up reply actions  

i did a breakdown about a year ago

it was still top 20 wih like 2 kids in top 150, first full ranking after we had like 5 and was up to 12 and finished with like 7 and #5 I think. Something to that effect

I think I see the difference

First off, I was recalling the Rivals ranking (looks like you were referring to ESPN). Second, you said “At the time Jimbo took over” and I was thinking of the day Bowden retired (a month or so gap there).

great last name

wonder if we’re related

a couple of plays with Karlos Willams on one side and Ricardo Williams on the other.

Hey Bud

Any chance we get some comments from Louis about his flip from AU to FSU? Or wil we likely have to wait until signing day? Just curious to see his perspective.

by TCHOP561 on Jan 21, 2012 8:48 AM EST reply actions  

What a pick up!!

Real physical.. I like how he never waste his time running east and west he always pulls it in and is going up the field before you know it..

by Kenow92 on Jan 21, 2012 9:02 AM EST reply actions  

Auburn.. What an epic fail..

They tried to steal our defensive coordinator and ended up getting one of their top recruits stolen lol Other teams beware

by Kenow92 on Jan 21, 2012 9:03 AM EST reply actions  

Just looking at Louis, he reminds me of one big WR from Miami, Andre Johnson

Louis is 6’2’’ 200 lbs.
Johnson is 6’3’’ 226 lbs.

Both are physical, have big frames, good speed, and good hands. Give Louis a few years and I could see him growing into an Andre Johnson clone.

I hope Jimbo works harder on timing and execution

With Los maybe goin 2 offense and greene,green,shaw and smith being the anchors,Jimbo should be ashamed if this offense is not in the top 10 in scoring and yards. Not 2 mention, bracy, louis and pender adding more depth and speed. Wow could be scary, I just hope jimbo’s offense runs with more efficiency and consistency.He really has alot of weapons at his disposal. IDK what u do with haggins and dent. Maybe unsung heroes on special teams?
