Florida State football, recruiting news: FSU has to win the state

Recruiting:

In order for FSU to get back to the ranks of the elite; they have to win in-state in recruiting.

“I think you’ve got to recruit where you’re at. Chances of getting kids there and kids staying there are a lot higher when you get them from somewhere in the vicinity, where they live. Again, when you have a place like Florida State, a national brand, I think you can go out and recruit some of the best.” “You’ve got to do a great job of evaluating and making sure you get the right kind of kid to be able to leave far away from home, because I think it takes a special kid to leave somewhere far and go somewhere else and go to school. There are a lot of special kids out there that are able to do it and have a lot of success.”

Five up, Five down; FSU’s standing with 10 important recruits that could shift the ceiling of the class.
