    He really did, but it's hard to argue against the other two. This really is an incredible staff of recruiters.

  • Fantastic write-up. Agree with all your assertions.

    I will add that Bama also beat us for Dillon Lee as well. Hopefully we can keep taking top kids from them.

    Deserve got nothing to do with it...

    MyNameIsMyName

  • Good article. Here are mine...

    Class MVP - Jameis Winston
    - I'm a big believer that the QB is the most important position on the field, and this guy is the best QB in the nation. A QB can single handedly hold back a team.

    Most Underappreciated - Mario Pender
    - He committed early and didn't really waiver off his commitment at any time and because of this he wasn't talked about as much. This guy is a monster get though.

    Most Upside - Chris Casher
    - A guy with DE size with WR athletic ability.

    Biggest Steal - Jameis Winston
    - Alabama wins the NC, they are 20 minutes away from the best QB in the country and they miss out? That's insane right there.

    Biggest Disappointment/Loss - Dante Fowler Jr.
    - The this went down is what made it such a big disappointment. We don't need to relive it again, but I think most agree.

    Most Versatile - P.J. Williams
    - This is a kid who was supposed to be a Safety. It looked like we were going to strike out at CB, so he says he will play CB. We get Blake and Darby at the end and the kid says he will play whatever the coaches want him to play. Not only is willing to do what he is asked to help the team, but he seems to be a natural fit at either position.

    Team That FSU Hurt Most - Alabama
    - Winston is the best player in Alabama, and Casher is probably #2, maybe #3, and we take both.

    Team That Hurt FSU Most - Alabama
    - Like Tom said...crazy. If Not for Alabama, we land Alphonse Taylor, Chris Black, and probably Eddie Williams.

    Fastest - Marvin Bracy
    - No explanation needed...

    Biggest - Justin Shanks
    - Good god, that kid has the biggest legs of all-time and is wider than a truck. Good luck moving him out of the way. (Eligwe and Northrup thank god)

    Meanest - Reggie Northrup
    - I agree with Tom. I love how Northrup plays determined football.

    Top Sleeper - Daniel Glauser
    - Not talked about too much. I think European players go a little unnoticed.

    Most NFL Potential - Mario Pender
    - I just think out of all of our signees this guy is the most sure thing to end up in the NFL. I think other players have a higher ceiling, but as far as NFL Draft, this guy will be selected, no doubt.

    Instant Impact Offense - Daniel Glauser
    - Junior College OL that enrolled early, I think this is an easy pick.

    Instant Impact Defense - Mario Edwards Jr.
    - I can't believe it took this long for me to mention him. With our need at DE, he will play early.

    Instant Impact Special Teams - Cason Beatty
    - With Powell gone, this is the obvious choice.

    Top Camp Evaluation - Sean Maguire
    - Maguire was the lone recruit that needed a good camp performance to earn an offer, and he did it.

    Quietest - Cason Beatty
    - I feel like throughout the entire process the only time we heard this guys name was when he committed. We didn't know of him before he committed, and we never heard much after he committed. You could say it is because he is a K, but I feel like we had constant comments from Aguayo.

    Most Accommodating - Markuss Eligwe
    - I felt like Eligwe was always easy to know what was going on because of his twitter and how often he used it.

    Best Motor - Reggie Northrup
    - You don't teach 190+ tackles in a season unless you are going hard every play.

    Best Football IQ - Sean Maguire
    - I think his football IQ is a large reason why Jimbo offered him over so many other QB's we were evaluating.

    Blue Collar Award - Christo Kourtzidas
    - Dude just looks like a scrapper out there. You say "blue collar" and this is the guy I think of.

    Top Recruiting Player - Karlos Williams
    - I guess I was supposed to name a recruit, but when I saw the title I was thinking player on the team. Anyway, mine is Karlos, seems like every recruit that met him, liked him...

    Top Recruiting Coach - Odell Haggins
    - He went far away to land us the #1 DT and #1 CB in the nation. Look at the DT depth chart and tell me Odell didn't do a great job of recruiting.

  • Great write-up Tom.

    Nice add Croz.

    I'm with Levy, with some added weight and time to settle into the system, Casher could outpace them all.
