The dead period is upon us and in this edition of The Nolecast Bud Elliott and Ingram Smith discuss Florida State football recruiting in the wake of FSU failing to secure the commitment of Devin Bush Jr., a Seminoles legacy at a position of need.
Questions explored: Is FSU doomed at linebacker recruiting? How much can the linebackers FSU signs in this class actually expect to play as freshmen, and what impact does FSU need them to have? Who else is on the board? If FSU doesn't sign who it wants to sign, is it worth reaching for a player who might not ordinarily get a scholarship to play for FSU?

Also discussed: New offers to a defensive end and tight end and the reason why they are coming at this late date, who is lining up visits, how many recruits FSU will sign in the class, prospects I saw in person at the FHSAA State Finals, and if FSU strikes out on National Signing Day, whether it would make sense to shake up the coaching staff.
