Update: Josh Newberg is refuting the tweet by fellow 247 colleague J.C. Shurburtt. Newberg says Duckett is not coming.

Florida State is bringing in Adam Duckett for a visit this weekend, per J.C. Shurburtt of the 247 Network. Who? He's a 6'8", 340 pound offensive lineman out of Orlando East River. As a junior, he was out of shape and scored a 13 on the ACT (ouch!). As a senior, he apparently worked hard, lost 25 pounds, and says he has an ACT score of 20. None of the recruiting services are going to bother rating a kid with an ACT score of 13. Will the NCAA flag this test score? Is the score legit? How are his grades? I don't know. But this senior film is promising. I think at the very least, a sign-and-place could happen here. A 6'8", 340-pound 18-year old is just getting used to his body. There are definitely some tools here, and you have to like his energy. Many time guys this big play soft. He doesn't. I am not saying he is a superstar, and he definitely needs a lot of polish. But if he hadn't 13'd the ACT as a junior, this would be a kid with multiple BCS offers.

This is simply laughable. I like Bryan Fischer a lot, and I bet if asked privately, he'd tell you he thinks Max Preps' rankings are a joke. 86% of Florida State's HS (non-kicker/punter) commitments are rated four-stars or better. Miami? Only 32%. Yet Miami is ranked higher because Tom Lemming loves Al Golden.

Heather Dinich says it's time for the Seminoles and Tigers to translate the talent they have into BCS bowl victories. How about just making BCS bowls? I'd say Jimbo needs to win the division twice in the next three years, and think they will. Anything can happen once a team gets to the ACC title game. It's a one-game setting. Winning the division needs to be the consistent goal. That's an eight-game measuring stick.

Checking out ACC attendance numbers - ACC Blog - ESPN The NCAA this month released its attendance report for the 2011 season, and Sports Business Journal recently released three-year averages for each conference. FSU trails only Clemson, and even with the blatant lying done by the SID department at Miami, the 'Noles are still having 60% more fans attend their games than Miami did.
