***Official FSU vs Memphis Thread***

[cheeselog8]

If he continues this stubbornness, I'd say not much. It's one thing if he's making changes and we're seeing some hope...instead we're setting wonderful new milestones for FSU:

How does Mike spin this in a recruits living room?

Just say they had concepts of being a top 10 team. Should work with about half of em.

Glad to see Memphis squeaked out that trap game before they get Navy next week

"As you can clearly see, we desperately need help at your position. Doesn't matter what position, we desperately need you.

Hang in there. Get it all out this weekend. I assume fans are calling for heads to role.

This is the third weekend in a row they are getting it all out.

Recruit, baby. Recruit.

I imagine we will get a handful of stub commits.
And most will jump ship on signing day.

FSU or our efforts so far against Troy?

What am I missing here?

What am I missing here?

last week a guy tweeted that if BC beats FSU he'll eat a red solo cup of dog shit with a spoon and post the video. the tweet went viral. he deleted his account.

now y'all are cursed.

Recruit, baby. Recruit.

The problem is, Norvell is a B- recruiter.

 

[NoleinATL]

With the season gone, Norvell has to play the young guys to see what is there for next year and hope that playing time convinces some to stay.

Better portal guy? That is the track record while in Tally.
Instant returns rather than long term?

What he lacked at the high school level, he had been making up for in the portal. Might be seeing what happens when the portal gamble doesn’t work, for positions you missed recruiting high school.

I do wonder if we have enough leaders on the team that truly play for the team (not a bag). Seems like Travis was key there too. Obvious leader, had put in the work over several years, and was able to get the key transfers to buy in (along with everyone else).

And yes, I do realize Travis was a transfer too.

Something certainly is broke.

But Travis grew up a Die Hard Seminole and transferred as a freshman. He wound up being a 6-year senior at fsu. He's definitely not the same type of transfer that DJU is.

Now they’re just making up stats to rub it in!

 

[Here_4_a_Day]

Couldn't have happened to a trashier fanbase and classless group of anti-Americans!

 

[billanole]

There is kind of a meeting of events going on in college sports, as well as society at large. There is a massive influx of money that is funding players, coaches, schools, and all involved in that now called industry.

Jordan Travis somehow benefitted from being an nth year Senior transfer, etc … Jared Verse, Fiske, Coleman, tight end strength,
senior leadership due to extension of scholarship time, all came together for the Noles. Not typical timing.
Meanwhile, money flooding in is creating more of a mercenary player base. (Good for them.) Big schools continue to dominate due to $.
Same in the world at large. The more things change…? What? The more they stay the same, right?

Didn't he have a top 10-15 high school recruiting class last year?

Between this and the other guy who vowed to eat dog doo, this season has been the times that try men's souls.

 

[LBoogie28]

Don’t know what he finished with, but that is a single year…and he missed at several positions of need (again). Gets left at the altar quite a bit as well (doesn’t close well). It’s not just him, as his staff doesn’t really have any elite level recruiters on it either.

Agree. Transferred before all the chaos of the portal (I think). Worked his way into the starting role and played for several seasons. Just making the distinction since I mentioned how transfers may have less “buy in,” or don’t take to being a leader right away (more of a merc situation).

Personally, I would not use the word effort. Lol

Whoa! When you have won 62 percent of your games as a HC, then you can comment on an Iowa win over a 2nd tier Sun Belt Conference team.
