Florida State football, recruiting news: Can FSU pull 5-star WR, Henry Ruggs, out of Alabama?

Recruiting:

Alabama’s WR coach Billy Napier is taking the offensive coordinator job at Arizona State; how might that affect the recruitment of super stud WR Henry Ruggs?

FSU’s chances of pulling the talented wide-out are better than you might think.

3-star LSU DT commit Neil Farrell coming off his official visit to FSU says he has a final decision to make:

4-star Linebacker target Levi Jones will announce his decision on ESPNU at 8:00 am. His top 3 are FSU, USC, & UF in no particular order.

Two FSU targets (Levi Jones, Marvin Wilson) will announce live on ESPN’s family of networks; their announcements times along w/ some others are listed here.

BJ Thompson out of England, Arkansas has a new top 5:

If football doesn’t work out for 2018 DT FSU commit Robert Cooper he might want to enter the World’s Strongest Man competition.

FSU is primed for another strong national signing day (VIP)

Recruits love the buffet style type food on official visits.

Football:

In the off-season the current Seminoles are giving back to the community.

Jalen Ramsey says that outsiders don’t understand Tarvarus Mcfadden’s greatness.

Current Seminole Ethan Frith’s family lost everything in a house fire. Please read this link & if you can help the family out.

Basketball:

Florida State’s rally fell short at the carrier dome; the key point in the game came in the first half when Syracuse went on a 20-4 run when Jonathan Isaac had to leave the game briefly.

Not that FSU should’ve lost both games in the first place but winning on the road in the ACC is hard as evidenced by four ranked teams losing this past weekend.

Nothing new there, necessarily, but road teams are losing more than ever since the ACC became a 15-team league before the 2013-14 season. Through Saturday, ACC teams are 21-42 on the road.

That’s the worst winning percentage for road teams in the 15-team era. Only five teams have won multiple conference road games.

If FSU’s basketball team is CBB’s version of the Monstars from Space Jam then Bill Murray needs to let our guys have their powers back when they travel away from Tallahassee.

Who was FSU’s best pro this year, was it Jameis Winston, Xavier Rhodes, or Devonta Freeman?
