Josh, question on Tunsil

  • Saw this tweet on the UF Board, is it accurate? Makes absolutely no sense to me why we would stop contact.

    MistaAlderman Blake Alderman
    5 star OT Laremy Tunsil added his contact with #FSU has dropped lately, said they last spoke at their junior day he attended

    TPANOLE

  • Well considering he would have to call us during the period after the JR day....

  • This is not the first time he's said he doesn't talk with our staff. There's also the trend of him never mentioning FSU in his group of leaders when being interviewed by other sites.

  • Ya just wondering if its accurate or not... if he doesnt mention FSU to other sites but is talking to the coaching staff then that means he is probably trolling the other sites and we are fine

  • After ignoring all of DF's smoke signals last year - I'll go with "actions speak louder than words" with these recruits and Tunsil's actions (and his words) don't appear promising for us.

  • I get the impression that our coaches don't want guys who need constant attention. Timely communication, of course, but constant attention guys just seem like they always say we don't contact them enough. That's just my opinion, but it seems to be a pattern I'm picking up.

    It hurts when it's with a guy in a position of need. Well, as a fan, it hurts to hear that a stud in a position of need has any complaint about the staff - but, I think the staff behaves this way on purpose.

    Jimbo has said time after time that 'talent wins games, character wins championships'. Perhaps Jimbo feels that a guy who needs constant attention would be a character risk.

    No idea, just throwing out a theory.

    All signs point to it being a 2 team race between UF & UGA... And its close

    Well in Champs FIRST year at UF landing a top 5 class is god awful I guess, gimme a break... Jimbo was at FSU for what, 2 yrs before he became the Head Coach, he had a chance to put down roots an establish relationships before he took over as HC.. Just sayin, Jimbo has done a hellva job recruting there is no denying that. But you cant say Muschamp hasnt been good on NSD cause hes only had one, and we went 7-6. If we would have landed some of those kids we finished 2nd for our class would have been crazy and thats after a 7-6 season. So im happy with how we finished, we didnt get everyone we wanted but this year we are off to a HOTT start to say the least.

    Champ, lol. Of what? The Cocktail Party? Of draining The Swamp in the 3rd quarter against your arch rival? Let's see how "Champ" does selling hope and playing time after slogging through another brilliant season without offensive playmakers and defensive depth.

    FSU Football. Making cool the new swag since 2013.

    Lol Don't act like Muschamp was at a disadvantage in recruiting because he wasn't a HCIW. Guess what, Jimbo also didn't inherit a team that had won 2 NCs in the previous 5 years before he got the job. UF recruited itself like USC and Bama do after they have success. As much as you hate Meyer he deserves just as much credit as Muschamp for your class. As a Nole we know how much harder recruiting becomes when you don't win a NC in over decade. Muschamp had a much easier role to jump into than Jimbo and it's not even close.

    Here's why Jeff Demps couldn't win a natty in track last year.

    Here is another shining example of UF doing the talking on the field.

    And here's "Champ" doing the B&O faithful proud (more UF talking on the field)

    Oh god is there a worse comeback than what you just said? Your so called "talkin on the field" is going to be pure comedy and mediocrity.

    So wait a sec, your tellin me Muschamp inherited a national championship CALIBER team?? Please, id love to hear that one. What he inherited was the youngest team in the SEC, what he inherited was a team with zero leadership an to top it off we had about 60 players last yr, down 25 basically from everyone else. You fail to mention the almost 30 transfers from all those great Meyer recruting classes, whys that?? They dont count?? Muschamp recruted his ass off in his 1st yr, and this yr he is already out recruting your boy Jimbo and it aint even close...

    It is only April, so all this does not matter until January after the season is over and all of the bowl games are finished.

    FSU and Bama WILL just be a HAT on the table.

    Tunsil giving UF's QB more time to throw to Agholor and Diggs is scary! Oh, Kelvin Benjamin also!

    Will he be lining up next to Avery Young?

    Mike Davis and Wilder will be able to walk through those holes.

    Wish FSU had Jernigan, Waisome and Greg Reid to stop them. Good thing we got Fowler, though.

    I hate hats. Especially in April -:)
