  • tongue Sounds like he has some pretty strong interest in our program. You know Bama will come after him hard if they really want him though. This will be interesting to watch. We've had a number of Bama players say they are not necessarily going to commit to Bama, yet the VAST majority of them end up doing so. Go get 'em DCraig, show Saban we've come to the dance with our lunch packed! pirate

  • I would love to get another top player that the Bama schools want. Craig has really helped FSU get up into the Mobile area.

  • man, if we can still this kid from Alabama, our QB spot will be awesome for years to some.

    Do you see anyone transferring we do land this kid?

  • Hi Jameis,

    I'm Jimbo Fisher, Head Coach at Florida State University. I used to be the Offensive Coordinator at LSU for Nick Saban. Did you know he tried to hire me with the Dolphins? He also tried to hire me as his OC at Alabama. Do you know what that tells you? I know what I'm doing. I develop Quarterbacks. I develop Quarterbacks better than anyone else in college football. You can come to FSU and be developed by me...or you can go to Alabama and be developed by Nick Saban's second choice.

    Oh...and pay attention to the NFL Draft coming up. You'll see two QB's both out of Texas rated the same coming out of HS. One went to FSU and one went to Alabama. Give me a call and let me know which one is drafted first?

  • This kid is going to be a 1st round MLB pick. At this point, I don't consider him a viable QB option for us.

  • I agree...think he's heading to MLB

  • Are we offering in both football and baseball?

  • I wish he wasn't so good at baseball, so here's to hoping he has a huge drop off in production that knocks him out of the first three-rounds.

  • I read that this kid isn't the lock to baseball that many think. Apparently he's thinking about taking the Kyle Parker route and playing CFB, then going to MLB later. He really likes playing football and wants to do it at the next level. He said something along the lines of "baseball will always be there"

    all that goes out the window with a 7 figure signing bonus

  • I'd really like to see some baseball/draft website saying he's a 1st rounder before I buy him being one just because everyone else is saying it.

    Hopefully we land him if he's our #1 and he comes to school.

  • I like it.

  • Sounds amazing but I still think Bama leads and like others have said it is a huge risk with the MLB things considering our lack of elite QBs since EJ (although I like Coker a lot)

    I don't think you'll see him on any lists yet cause he hasn't played even his junior season and isn't draft eligible yet. Bubba Starling is only now showing up on the rankings (Keith Law's #4 player) and LSU didn't know they were losing Zach Lee until he had already started practicing with the team.

    If you take a possible baseball guy you're taking a major risk IMO. It would really set a team back to only take Winston at QB and then have him leave for baseball during the start of fall camp.

  • Is this kid 1st rounder for the MLB draft?

    I think the consensus is that we really don't know yet because there aren't a lot of people that have evaluated him for baseball.

  • talked to a few people that have watched him play baseball and they think he is semi over rated

  • Actually asked Keith Law in a recent chat and he said he didn't think he was a top 3 round prospect and could use college ball.

  • How was Chizik able to talk to him for 45 minutes? I didn't think HC's could talk to recruits unless they were on campus for a visit right now.

  • Im gonna wing it and say he plays football, he talks like he wants to play football, is obviously going through the recruiting process and seems serious and it sounds to me like most don't have any concrete evidence he is truly coveted by major league scouts for first round consideration.

    That being said I don't think we land him but who knows, if AJ McCarron or Phil Sims can make a name for themselves then maybe he says Bama isn't the place for him.

    McCarron and Sims are both younger than Manuel IIRC

    Personally I don't give a damn who we go after at the QB spot, won't waste any energy worrying anymore for whoever we get will turn into a beast in 2-3 years if not right away.

    Im certain of this

    In college its more important to have a good QB coach and we have 2 now, not to mention both are clearly great evaluators of the position as their resumes more than prove.

    So put me in the camp of no longer caring about who we do or don't get, QB will never be a problem so long as Jimbo and Craig control the position. Im getting close to feeling this way about all positions really but QB is the main spot Im not worried about in any way.

    Winston or some random dude I've never heard, either one works for me.
