    Good to hear.... ESPN gives him 4*s but I take their rankings pretty light when it comes to 4*s cause they give out too many...

    Are you always so pessimistic? You complain about the recruiting so far this year, then, when it's favorable, you shoot it down. At the end of the day, the ESPN rankings have the biggest impact on the perception of a program's prominence in recruiting. Signing Day is an all day event on that network that can be beneficial to the programs that are given ample air time. FSU has gotten great press from their rankings.

  • Very happy we got this kid.

    Great get, just curious as to what will happen if UF visits. He has practically been begging for that offer.

    My sentiments exactly. I wouldn't get too comfortable with this commitment. blank

  • I really like this kid at LB. I think he plays sideline to sideline. Has very good size and looks like a FSU LB. Really like this commitment.

    He's that good? I never really heard much about him except from our fanbase but I like the highlights glad we got him cause I prefer him over Lyons as well...

    I think Stevenson is a baller but Lyons is a player though. He's much better than his 3-star rating!

  • I wasn't trying to be pessimistic... I was saying I looked at the 4* on ESPN but I was more skeptical with him not being on here I never really looked at him...I think people misunderstand a lot of what I'm saying cause of the tone isn't going over well in text but I mean I like this kids film and I even called him beast earlier to show that... just was more or less asking people that know more about him than I do..with them as they aren't really that good with rankings in my opinion.. and I didn't know anything about him... I believe everything people were saying which is why I asked... not pessimistic just not knowledgeable on this particular kid...

    -But I do like when our recruits are on ESPN for that reason its a lot of national exposure...I know what it means to the program

    -And I really don't talk bad about our recruits I just don't get as excited about a recruit like Baker or Morgan

    I just messed that entire paragraph up but I just meant to say that ESPN rankings don't tell me a kids great because they give out 4*s to everybody but I do like when both our coaches judgement theirs line up because it makes our class look better and it gives the program that national exposure...

    Smart move by Stevenson to secure his spot. Now it's Thomas or bust for the 5th LB.

    My thinking too.
    FSU is killing it at LB.

  • Lyons has alot of uside but IMO Stevenson is the best LB we have committed now.

    They also give out very few 5 stars.

  • Stevenson is a great addition!!! Should we offer Mitchell just in case Stevenson gets that "dream offer" from FU and bolts? I don't like Mitchell nearly as much, but he would provide security. I love Stevenson, but I know FSU is his 2nd choice. Otherwise, the ONLY target is Thomas (and MacMillan).

    You don't know that. He never said uf was his 1st choice, just that if they offered they "would be up there". If uf were his first choice I imagine he would have waited until FNL to see if he got his offer.

    Yeah I know but I was not saying that I didn't believe what you guys were saying... I was saying when I saw him on our ESPN targets I didn't really care about his ranking because everybody has a 4*... not that I didn't think he was good when I saw the highlights...what don't you guys get about the fact that I like this kid?

    -I was saying that I don't look at their rankings and automatically think this guy is good...like Rashad Fant is in the 150 yet I don't think he is even 4* caliber(My opinion)...

    -This guy has no rating of 247 so I asked if he was legit 4* caliber which takes into account everything...not just a highlight tape which is made to showcase when a kid does the right thing..

    There is such a disparity in rankings with the main services. For instances, take EJ Leven berry. He gets 4 stars from all of them. However, look we're he's ranked nationally.

    247sports -- 231st in nation
    ESPN -- 286th in nation
    RIVALS -- 21st in nation!!!

    Rivals, the stingiest of the three, would say Levenberry is by far the best LB in our class.

    I've noticed drastic disparities with Bain, Stevenson, Baker and others. I don't get it. What are these scouts seeing?

    I'm not basing it off of where each site has them ranked. Its me basing it off of watching their film Levenberry and Stevenson are very close but I like the way Stevenson moves around just a tad better.
