Unconquered

Probably not.

A down year? This is the deepest year for RB's instate I've seen in a long long time. That's pretty much common knowledge. There are easily 12+ BCS conference RB's. Four or five of them have an argument for best in the state, including Green.

Turman
Taylor
Henry
Green
Lane
Collins
Folston
Bryant.. Yep, Down year alright. These are just the big names right now, there are a bunch who will emerge this spring and summer.

I don't disagree that it is a deep crop of upper middle talent, but there's no question that the state lacks elite level rb talent this year. It actually seems to be a down year on elite rb talent nationally compared to other years.

I don't see a Matt Davis or pender or Lamar miller and certainly no Richardson. Missing elite level guys, IMO.

I don't know about you, but I watched Lamar Miller's tape and thought he was the best back in the state behind Richardson. I never considered Berry or Giles elite (like I haven't considered Greg Bryant elite).

Bryce Brown was a national prospect, not a Florida kid, as you know. I was always concerned about his level of competition. But, I'm not always right (was certainly wrong about Darrel Scott out of CA).

I consider Pender elite. I think he compares favorably to Miller at the same point. I think Davis is a bit like Richardson "lite" and I consider him elite. Whether they develop into stars like the others you mentioned is unknown, but all were "elite" prospects, IMO.

Well, all the Gators I know love our running back class so far, so I dont see the loss there.

There are at least 7 backs in Fl that are 4stars or better, and its still early in the ratings process. Seems pretty deep to me.

Losing should get to be a "Familiar feeling?" Who knows? Maybe it is FSU's turn. But, if I were you, I would reserve comments like this.

For now, I have no rebuttle. But, I will say this, skill players need oline recruiting to be somewhat adequate, to succeed.

Let's keep the convo focused on recruiting , sorry if I deleted your post that quoted earlier posts to point out the lack of taste ... Just trying to get the convo back on track and taking that nonsense off the board

Carry on

He left uncommitted, so I got my wish. How many RB's does FSU plan on taking? What's the latest on Turman?

Sounds like the staff is intending on takin 2 rb's in this class and both Green and Turman are aware of this. There is a chance the staff may take a third depending on who's out there and who we have committed. Turman made it to campus sun evening and is staying til tue so we shall see.
