SITUATION REPORT
Football is an absolute dumpster fire right now—another starter down with a season-ending injury, the defense is held together with duct tape and prayers, and Michigan State's out here stealing commits like FSU left the door unlocked. Meanwhile, basketball's in full autopilot mode this summer with no portal chaos or coaching drama, which honestly feels like the calm before some catastrophic storm because this is FSU we're talking about. Last year's CFP snub energy is officially dead, and Tallahassee's got two very different vibes heading into the fall.

“Do you really think he's not a better recruiter even if the money was relatively similar? This has been an odd stance of yours I've noticed for a while lol.”

“Sure, but on the other hand he's recruited better even when we had the advantage of the on-field product and they looked like complete garbage (and we weren't as short on funds then). And us aside, look at who they win against now. Those schools aren't being cheap and some of those races are pretty close with $$$. Back when it was more under-the-table, he still beat big names when going H2H as the OC/HC @UO and the OL coach @UA. He definitely can't recruit QBs without money, I agree. His HS eval”

“#7 should be number #1 on that villains list. If you’re including teams or organizations, replace Caleb Williams with SEC or 1980’s SMU.”

“Odd stance? No offense taken. I’d argue he is a good recruiter and better recruiter than Norvell but I’d also argue the gap would be considerably closer if Norvell had access to billionaires like Cristobal has. You don’t think Norvell could land a stud QB with 4 to 8 million to offer? I stop short of even calling it recruiting most days. More like “procuring” or “buying”.”

“I believe Ashlynd’s maturity and determination is the big difference he brings this year. Both of which a good team leader should. Have a great season Bam-Bam Barker. Go Noles!”

“Help me out guys. If Tommy wants to play another year then it has to be at FSU? So in hindsight, he should have just went in the portal and never signed professionally, which he didn't, and he could play anywhere? Damn sucks for him. But I like TC and it's worth a flyer in the slot and emergency QB. He has no leverage, if he wants to join, We Skrong Den.”
