ok, well they are all older and Linder and McDermott have had a chance to put on weight. Henderson was hurt all year, so that shuffled the lineup. O Line will be good, need Bunche to step up and start dude has too much skill to be the first guy off the bench

the veteran S pair should help with the inexperienced corners, if Ray Ray wants to go in the first 2 rounds he has to become a more complete player. Telemaque is a frustrating guy, he needs to work hard and be steady or Highsmith might take his job

Word around campus is that Erick Flowers is gonna be the best OL we have had since McKinnie. Expect him to get meaningful PT pretty quickly. Add him to the guys that you mentioned, and I expect the OL to be the strength of the team. We just need James and Clements to step up to get that ball control offense going, and then throw in Duke as a home run threat.

nikkas don't realize how close to being a complete team we are. our o line will have had the benefit of a year and a half of playing and practicing together. Clements has the potential to be a good running back. Mike James is a good complement as well and add in Duke you have the potential to have a great backfield.

Consistent QB play and we'll be fine!

if you remember, we Nole fans were actually going to bat for y'all when that Yahoo story broke but it is what it is....if you want war, we'll bring it...as for the bolded, not even scared :myman: ...you must don't realize, we're getting 4-5* recruits already for 2014 & 2015...as long as Jimbo is head of the ship, we'll always bring in top notch talent..winning:noah: is another problem but the man wasn't bullshyttin when he said, in terms of recruiting, the state of FL in FSU's eyes runs from the Keys to ATL & southern Alabama

well a 2014/15 recruit is hardly solid at this point, just wait until a bunch of schools get into the mix:shaq2:

sure, you guys are getting 4 and 5 star recruits, but you gotta realize that a lot of your recruits also heavily consider Miami (probably grew up fans of us when we were actually good). The reason some of those guys end up at FSU is because the U hasn't done shyt in the last few years.:to:

So the thing is if Golden can show that the ship is heading in the right direction and we show results on the field, I wouldn't be surprised if we start winning some of those recruiting battles that we been losing to y'all in the last few years.

As much as I'd like to see y'all get back up there I just don't see it with Golden. Dude looked like he was way over his head in some games last year. Maybe he realizes he's not at temple this year and adjusts accordingly. Even when y'all were stuntin on everyone we still could snatch talent outta S. Fl. Hell y'all losing recruits to Strong at Louisville. It's just not what's happening on the field either. Every big time school that comes down there has something that I even wish the U had. And that's a strong booster club and alumni base. No $$ equals no new stadium, facilities, etc. it's kinda depressing because if you guys did, y'all could basically own the state from like Ocala and down

I mean, 6-6 isn't a great season by any stretch, but we got hit with a huge scandal right before the season, key players were suspended,etc. We could've easily went 8-4 with a full strength team (would've beat Maryland and K-State).

and to your second point, another reason why schools are stealing recruits from our areas is because Shannon and Coker (mostly Shannon) burned all our bridges with key local high schools, him and his staff were too lazy to put in serious effort into recruiting. In turn, the guys we ended up getting were lazy kids...I could name so many names here.

Golden has taken the time to start rebuilding some of these bridges, it'll take time but we're heading in the right direction. And once we get back to winning,we'll get our $$ from boosters.
