I like that hat on you Jameis.

"If you want to understand a society, take a good look at the drugs it uses. And what can this tell you about American culture? Well, look at the drugs we use. Except for pharmaceutical poison, there are essentially only two drugs that Western civilization tolerates: Caffeine from Monday to Friday to energize you enough to make you a productive member of society, and alcohol from Friday to Monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison that you are living in."

Thank God.

I don’t think I could have dealt with 10 more days of idiots like Tom Lugenbill and Mike Farrell pontificate and speculate on where he signs. I can see the tweet now:

Jameis Winston to decide between Stanford and Bama… FSU may still be a factor #signingday

If he signs, will his 5-star rating gives us the #1 class?

by CCDFSU07 on Feb 2, 2012 4:10 PM EST reply actions  

I think all the rating services are already including him as ours

by ajm05j on Feb 2, 2012 4:12 PM EST up reply actions  

I terms of average player rating? No doubt. In terms of the way some calculate it, however, no.

by Bud Elliott on Feb 2, 2012 4:13 PM EST up reply actions  

As I said, Scout’s system is just beyond stupid. FSU has 6 of the top 50 kids in the COUNTRY, by their own ratings. Yet they say this is not a top five class?

by Bud Elliott on Feb 2, 2012 4:14 PM EST up reply actions  

Antiquated.

They’re largely irrelevant. Lack of analysts, can’t see enough prospects, so everyone is a 5 star.

IMO shouldn’t even be factored into composite rankings…3 is fine

by CornNole on Feb 2, 2012 6:40 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

I just looked at their rankings

According to them, FSU has 21 HS recruits and 0 Junior College guys.

…….right. Yeah, you’re not relevant anymore.

And now I stand corrected because the link on their home page

I followed took me to 2009’s rankings. That would qualify as antiquated as well.

MaxPreps' Jon Buzby reports that Winston

has narrowed his choices down to:

1. Auburn
2. Alabama
3. Stanford
119. Florida State (minor league program compared to the rest)

Football is my favorite show.

But Mama Winston says FSU is the best place for him.

maxpreps is awful.

espn loves our classes, the other services are less ecstatic. i trust the coaching staff’s decisions on kids, which espn agrees with and reflects, so im monitoring espn more closely than the others.

You forgot MLB

Which I think is FSU’s only true competition. Maybe he will pull a Weinke, which would be OK by me (versus 1 through 3 above).

And don't forget...

Joe Mauer. Winston would be the 3rd #1 QB prospect to pick the noles and go Baseball. I’m hoping he doesn’t, this would really round out the class nicely and provide needed/future depth at the QB position.

by Matthew Juaire on Feb 3, 2012 10:38 AM EST up reply actions  

uneasy feeling

if he’s all Nole and jsut wants to be with his family and have a chance to have their approval before he signs, I can understand that, but why all the attention and publicity?

by sovnole on Feb 2, 2012 4:19 PM EST reply actions  

Because he is 18?

Because he's the #1 QB.

I can remember buddies having public signings back in the 90s before they were broadcast or anything. I wouldn’t read too much into it.

by LilburnNole on Feb 2, 2012 6:29 PM EST up reply actions  

I would be much more uneasy if he hadn't so emphatically been all Nole on signing day even stating he wanted Darby and Agholor to sign with FSU.

unless he really want to make a splash

reassure and confirm, drag it out, and then flip … I really like the kind and would hate to think anyone would do something like this … but he is 18

yes, i know

and it makes perfect sense to do that when you get home … get home ask mom and dad if that’s the right thing to do get approval from everyone you feel is necessary … sign and fax … be a nole. But instead you get,Oh, I’ll do it tomorrow or a week later and do it at 11:30 on the radio … wtf!

Depends on what he wants to study

Is he majoring in something that Stanford excels at? A sociology degree is is a sociology degree is a sociology degree.

hope someone tells this kid

that 90% of undergraduate degrees don’t really mean much in the sense of specialty and mostly general education

by sovnole on Feb 2, 2012 4:37 PM EST up reply actions  

I think I know the answer but...

If Winston doe sign with FSU as it sounds, is he obligated to play football at FSU or can he leave if drafted by MLB. I am guessing he can leave but was curious. Then if that happens is it too late to offer his schollie to someone else/

by Noles93 on Feb 2, 2012 4:35 PM EST reply actions  

He can choose to leave if he’s drafted, and it would be too late to offer the scholarship to someone, unless we wanted to give it to a greyshirt.

agree completely with the trust statement

but i am going to worry until he signs … mostly because i like the kid a lot and think he will be a good fit for the team in addition to his talents

by sovnole on Feb 2, 2012 4:49 PM EST reply actions  

It would indeed suck if he flaked out on us, but..

I have faith that we built a strong enough relationship with Winston that he stays true. If he doesn’t, too bad for him because we are about to F’ng ball out in the next few yrs.

Doesn’t he need his guardian’s signature on the LOI? Might that explain waiting until he gets back his parents? Calm down.

I know a 'turd who is convinced Winston will be signing with Stanford.

This same kid, however, assured me FSU would lose to UF over the past two years, and also insisted Brantley was going to be a 1st round pick before he took over.

Shouldn’t he be in school? Just sayin.

So if he comes and redshirts for football and plays baseball as a freshman

how would his 2nd year be considered. a RS-Freshman qb and a sophmore outfielder.
