Unconquered

Our recruiting this year has simply not been on par with our last 2-3 recruiting classes, especially last year where we hauled in a bunch of recruits early. LONG WAY to go, and I know the coaches will pull a great class again, but it has been disappointing early. I believe the reasoning is simple, we have alot of depth from our last few classes and recruits aren't seeing the chance for immediate playing time like they are at UF/UM for example. The way to overcome that is to start winning National Championships again (which I fully believe we are knocking at the door of), and to get kids consistently drafted within the first 3 rounds of the draft. Once that happens, kids will willingly come in knowing they will be waiting 2 years to play. I am not trying to be negative, just seeing the facts. Look at Ryan Green. He can see that Freeman and Wilder (assuming legal issues are worked out), still have 3 years in front of them (2 years once he would get here). Also, Pender has 4 years (3 once he would enroll.) So, logically he would have to sit for 2 years before seeing meaningful time. Tough pill to swallow when we havent sent a rb into the draft since Booker/Washington?
Not trying to be negative, but the solution is simple: Win now!

I know that Green and Turman are still uncommited (and I'd be happy with either) but let's be honest: with Freeman & Pender ( Wilder) on the roster, FSU just isn't attractive to a RB prospect looking for early PT.

There's also a chance ND isn't bowling at the end of the season so who knows

General comment: RB, DE, DT, WR & DB will be difficult positions to recruit because of depth. The staff need to carefully explain the depth at each position b/c at most positions it's not as bad as it seems. We already know that Miami has negatively recruited Bain by showing him our DT depth chart.
