Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

The 2013 Recruiting Targets...from a fan

https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B8IGTTAr6jijNjY0NGQwOTEtYWQwNS00MzAxLWI4ZjEtZjM3YzgxOGUzZTVm

So you are awaiting for FSU to become the 2013 #1 recruiting class? And you say you NEED to have a good understanding of what is happening behind the Garnet and Gold curtain? Well, not to worry my fellow Seminole; I am but a fan, but I hope to give you some clarity to whom our beloved coaches are recruiting to make that happen...

1QB / 2-3RB / 2-3WR / 1TE / 2-3OT / 1-2OG / 1C / 3-4DE / 3-5LB / 2-3DT / 3-4DB (my estimated class numbers)

There is no way to know which 21-30 players the coaches will take out of this (these) lists. Hopefully you now have a good grasp on how the Seminoles are shaping a monster class...can we take the top of the recruiting world yet AGAIN??? Stay tuned...

Thank you for taking the time to read it!!!

It would have been easier if I could have presented it in its original spreadsheet. It also has ht/wt 40time, bench, shuttle, GPA, and recruiter on either site if anyone is interested.

So where's your predicted class finish?

I’m only half-joking. If you’re going to go to this trouble…why not, ROFL.

by lawdy15 on Feb 13, 2012 1:39 AM EST up reply actions  

only half funny...so I say its a draw...not everyone can be DRusso

when i did the 2012 prediction before NSD, not too many people were keen on it…

Truthfully, I could come up with one, but its accuracy is degraded because of the services that rank these young men. Moreover, the only service I am providing here is assistance of knowing who’s interested in, been offered by, and who will give us the top class in 2013.

Wouldn’t mind this being part of or linked with DA-2’s 2013 recruiting thread so all of our Noles can see the compilation…

by DRusso97 on Feb 11, 2012 1:16 PM EST reply actions  

we didn't offer nkemdiche...

…and with everyone trying to jump in regardless of commitment these days, added to the fact that we aren’t on his list at all, he didn’t make my recommended list. It is early yet, though, maybe we can steal him back like MD did Diggs (i thought he was going to come to us, but in the end, I just didn’t see him as a Gator….but I digress…)

Ask MEj how much push-and-pull he got being the #1 player…

Thanks for mentioning him though; I kind of figured someone would…

Side note @DRusso: you ever been to Sacketts Harbor? there’s a comedy club there, would love to watch the show…

by RobbSeminole on Feb 11, 2012 1:40 PM EST up reply actions  

lol FSU most certainly offered. And he already mentioned us by name in a vague top10. Seemed a little apprehensive about our depth chart early on.

by SteadfastNole on Feb 11, 2012 1:51 PM EST up reply actions  

well if he did...

i was unaware, as both rivals and 247 have us not on the list. Having said that, I know that such rating moguls as these and Scout have absolutely no credibility other than on paper (see: 2012 Number 2,3,4,5,6…whatever recruiting class we were when we have a LOT of talent)

If you look at it, defensively we are going to scare anyone wanting immediate playing time with the star caliber defense we obtained in 2012, added on to what we currently have…

If he is smart, he’ll bide his time and wait until we destroy opponents this year and see this is where he wants to go, not BAMA or LSU…

by RobbSeminole on Feb 11, 2012 2:05 PM EST up reply actions  

Bud shows him with an FSU offer

http://www.sbnation.com/college-football-recruiting/2012/2/6/2774790/2013-football-recruit-rankings

And I read somewhere on 247 that he’s most interested in Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Oregon. I think most almost consider him a Bama lock at this point, but obviously we are no where near signing day. Like you said, it will be interesting to see how dominant our Dline is in 2012 and see if maybe that’s something he might want to be apart of.

thanks for the link...

I missed where he had offered. Looks as if the recruiting services buried us on their respective sites…

As with most of the drama this past pre-NSD, no one knows until the fax comes in…and even then…

thanks again for the help…

No reason to be apprehensive about the depth chart when FSU loses 3 NFL DE's before he signs.

as of 4 days ago

In the AJC:

“Nkemdiche: What’s the latest with colleges? It has roughly been the same 5-6 all along – Alabama, LSU, UGA, Southern Cal, Oregon and Florida. There are never-ending rumors that he committed to Alabama last year and will sign with the Crimson Tide next year. Nkemdiche, who often wears Alabama gear to school, has denied the rumors.”

by whodoes on Feb 11, 2012 8:30 PM EST up reply actions  

Hopefully get him here for a visit

but, IMHO, it’ll come down to a Bama/UGA battle. High school coach that bleeds crimson vs. 40 miles down the road.

by law74 on Feb 12, 2012 11:20 AM EST up reply actions  

Nope--never been upstate, but willing. You talking about Lake Ontario Playhouse?

I’ll look them up. Of course, if you know anybody who works there—that would help.

Back on subject, if FSU didn’t offer Nkemdiche, the entire staff should be fired right F’n now.

and rec'd for the truth in not offering...

As Bud had us offering him, I’m sure at one time last year he probably was…offered…to which he declined…

This is all early, but a collection by any means. As MEj didn’t equal a #1 recruiting class for us, whomever gets him will not equal one by himself either. Gas station “fans” UNITE! Make sure he sees FSU everywhere he looks…which won’t be too hard being as next year’s defense will be on ESPN on a regular basis…

When I get back, I’ll talk to some people, see what I can pull…its not NYC mind you, but its NY…

I know.....Upstate is cool with me--once it warms up.

I’m pretty regularly booked through April as it is.

ESPN

says we are in his top 8
“Nkemdiche said he doesn’t have a favorite college at this point. He said he’s most interested in Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Oregon”

Michael Johnson

Michael Johnson – DB unrated 247/Rivals UnO 5* CB FL FSU offered 10FEB (no other offers) (UF/UGA/MIA/KAN/WIS) Probably will commit soon, probably 13/14 FEB (if rumors are true)

Johnny 5 (5th commit)…alive!

There was no mention of Derrick Green, RB from VA, in the “who I want FSU to go after” category. His size/speed combo is nuts and he should be a five star IMO.

Derrick Green

Derrick Green – RB 4**** 94 247/RivalS#64 4* RB VA FSU did not offer OSU lean (22 schools, 19 offers AUB/ARK/MICH/MISS/NCST/OU/PENN/PUR/RUT/USCe/TENN/USCw/VAND/UVA/VT/WASH/WV/WIS {BAMA/MIA/ORE})

I'm telling you he is overrated.

I go to his school. Funny guy, just don’t think we have any shot at all. He wants to start as soon as possible.

You're so wise. You're like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair.

by Nole93 on Feb 13, 2012 2:14 AM EST up reply actions  

wasn't on my want list either...

Green has people wanting him on their team, but I just don’t see him waiting behind Pender.

Pender is going to be our rocket this year and maybe for the next three; a diva on the squad, thought talented, is not what the team will need, ESPECIALLY during the down year of 2013 (I’m already sad knowing we will have a NC chance this year, but it may crumble immediately afterwards…

I don’t think Green is overrated, per se, because until they are tested at the college level, any HighSchooler can just be better than the ‘normal’ kids and will look like NFL stars. That you have personal interaction with him is a great stabilizer for opinion.

Moral of the story: Green isn’t just going to pick FSU, who did not offer, over 19 schools that did…

Good info Nole93, but he 215 and runs a 4.31….I just can’t see how that won’t translate. That is the same speed as Ronald Darby with a lot more weight. His cuts are tremendous without really losing any speed. I understand why he wouldn’t be looking at FSU and at the same time why FSU hasn’t offered if they wanna go after Keith Ford and others but I just can’t see how he is overrated.

by bobbysura on Feb 13, 2012 12:15 PM EST up reply actions  

In the film

It is very obvious that he is fast. He runs straight up, can he be coached to change that??

Tunsil

I see you say FSU #1, as in number 1 target? He gave a top 5 a month ago and we were not in it, and last week he gave a top 3 and we were not in it. We are not #1 for him, although he may be for us.

Tomahawk Nation- Great FSU football and English lessons!

yes, thank you...

I meant he should be our #1 target…

I would love to see us get this guy.

Derrick Griffin WR 6’7" 210lbs, check out his blocking too.

He has got to be able to get up to 235lbs, easy.

When ahead never let up. When behind never give up.
It is hard to overestimate how significant the advantage you gain from being underestimated.

Thanks for the lists Robb

I love lists. Also, I really like your demeanor in the forums. Thanks again.

by NoleadgeIsPower on Feb 12, 2012 3:56 AM EST via Android app reply actions  

Lists ARE good, huh...

I know when they catch up, however, the editors will produce their own list…just glad I can be of assistance…

demeanor? do I need to tone it down? lol

no problem really…

by RobbSeminole on Feb 12, 2012 6:46 AM EST up reply actions  

Was not sarcasm

Seriously, you avoid trolls well. Wish more people on here followed suit.

by NoleadgeIsPower on Feb 12, 2012 7:26 PM EST via Android app up reply actions  

oh I'm sorry, i meant no accusation of sarcasm...

i just thought the list would work, since the table/spreadsheet didn’t…

regardless of trolls or FSU fans who just have negativity to throw down in the forums, I am, and always be, a Nole through and thru, garnet and gold. So it really is no problem to produce something of this manner with no expectation back; in fact, it feels pretty good to know that it is appreciated. The love and respect that Bud and Co get in here should be embraced, and we all have zero time and effort to focus on the jacka##es.

(Some of you will find this funny, or shameful, but I was going to apply to FSU to finish my bachelor’s degree, and tryout for the scout team…lol…btw, I’ll be 36 this year)

What about RB Lorenzo Woodley from Miami Columbus?

Didn’t we offer him?

Thanx for posting this btw.

thanks for the update

somehow he fell off my list…on the 2013 recruiting forum he was said to have wanted to commit on Jr day but was told to wait (unknown source)

Lorenzo Woodley – RB 3*** 86 247/Rivals UnO 4* RB FL FSU offer late (13 schools, 7 offers CIN/PUR/RUT/USF/TENN/WV {AUB/UF/MIA/MICST/ND/WIS})

I have no doubts about Jimbo & Co.'s ability to recruit

If they can finish near the top of the college ranks this year, the sky’s the limit…
