Ingram Smith and Bud Elliott return with another episode of The Nolecast. We recapped the class last week, so not going in-depth on that again. Listen to previous podcast for details on currently committed prospects. Here is the general outline of the discussion.
Recruiting
-
QB
-
-
Commit Henry (EE)
-
-
RB
-
Commit: Amir Rasul, Gabe Nabers (new)
-
Rasul is not Alabama's top option for a No. 2 back and might be its third choice for that spot.
-
Nabers 6'2, 238, fullback.
-
Taking a ⅔-star this early could signal that FSU's close is not going to be as strong as the fans want.
-
-
-
WR
-
Targets: Keith Gavin, Nate Craig-Myers
-
NCM named Auburn his leader
-
Not visiting FSU, not visiting OM even. #Tampa
-
-
Gavin visited, went very well, now we wait
-
-
No need to reach -- many asked what does FSU do it it doesn't sign a WR
-
-
TE
-
Commit: Naseir Upshur
-
-
OL
-
Commits: Josh Ball, Baveon Johnson, Andrew Boselli (EE), Mike Arnold
-
Baveon's mom on the cupcake game
-
-
Targets: Landon Dickerson, Juan Williams (not looking for another guard)
-
Dickerson liked his Alabama visit, still think Tennessee is the bigger worry
-
Williams named A&M as a co-leader, every new visit is his new leader
-
Loved LSU, too.
-
Twitter ?: Would you rather have Williams or Dickerson?
-
-
Stewart Reese
-
Rescheduled visit, does seem like is is a backup plan
-
-
-
Reader: Any of these OL challenge for major PT early?
-
-
DT
-
Commits: Cedric Wood (EE), Walvenski Aime (EE)
-
Stephon Taylor (New Orleans)
-
Players LSU can't fit into its class are OK because LSU's class is amazing.
-
Texas biggest competition. His parents also made the trip which is good and his teammate committed.
-
-
Raekwon Davis now won't visit on the 22nd, will visit Alabama instead
-
We'll see if he ever visits or qualifies
-
FSU would like to get him in on visit for final weekend, but ...
-
-
Shavar Manuel may visit, we'll see
-
Zuriel Davis got a test score, but will he qualify?
-
-
DE
-
Commits: Janarius Robinson (EE)
-
Targets: Brian Burns, Terrell Hall, Jonathan Kongbo
-
Burns last visit is FSU, UF/UGA top comp
-
I think FSU can land him if ...
-
-
Hall doesn't seem to be mentioning FSU as much
-
I am ready to pull FSU from the board
-
-
Kongbo is INTERESTING
-
Liked Bama a ton, now Tennessee may have some connection with him related to him originally being from Africa. Visited USC this weekend. FSU gets final visit
-
-
-
Might need to reach here on a project, probably not.
-
-
LB
-
Commits: Emmett Rice, Josh Brown, Keion Joyner
-
Targets: Dontavious Jackson
-
If FSU misses it would need to reach.
-
Bud suggests Brock Miller, from Vero Beach area. NC State commit, Ole Miss offered.
-
-
Jackson coming back for unofficial? FSU coaches going in-home Monday night.
-
-
DB
-
Commits: Levonta Taylor, Jamel Cook, Kyle Myers, Clifford Chattman
-
Cook visited with Pie Young and FSU feels good
-
OM pushed for Meyers, seems solid
-
Chattman committed, rail thin, potential. Can't take too many projects. He is visiting A&M this weekend
-
-
Targets: Trayvon Mullen, Carlos Becker, Brandon Burton, Pie Young
-
Becker officially visiting 2nd week in January -- his mom made the trip, she did not visit Ohio State
-
Mullen: FSU wants him to visit this weekend (UV)
-
-
Reader question: Will Levonta Taylor play other than ST as a freshman?
-
Reader question: Becker or Mullen if you can only have one?
-
Need to land 2 of the above
-
-
K/P
-
Logan Tyler, Ricky Aguayo (EE)
-
-
#s
-
24-25

Attrition expected
-
Reader questions

How does this class stack up with previous years?
-
Who will be the second best player in the class behind Taylor?
-
Sleeper in FSU's class?
-
Best Publix sub?
-
Does Jimbo believe FSU needs another elite recruiter?
- Will Jimbo Fisher have a sleepover with a recruit like Jim Harbaugh?
