Oh puh-lease! Let's not be naive. Recruiting is nothing BUT pandering! And if you follow CFB recruiting these days, you know that many prized recruits' parents get HEAVILY involved in their kids' choice of schools, sometimes to the point of choosing FOR them.
Sending a recruit's mom a Mother's Day card isn't cheap. It's brilliant.
Ok. That explains it. Looking at this kid's short list, I was wondering how the hell FSU got into the mix. I love FSU, but our hoops program isn't exactly on the same level as his other choices.
No, LB is not a position that FSU is hurting at. We have several blue chippers from the last 3 classes that make this loss one that we can easily absorb. As I said in the earlier thread on this, however, if he's not fully committed to being a 'Nole, then we don't want him, regardless.
SG, if I may, I think what OT is getting at, is why the hell anyone needs to know the name of a guy who was rated the FIFTY-THIRD best pro-style QB in his class, and is 2 for 8 passing in his college "career." The guy's jersey should just say "clipboard holder" on the back. So again...
I would be embarrassed if FSU went 6-7 and accepted ANY bowl bid. Teams shouldn't even be bowl eligible with a .500 record. This is getting ridiculous.
Trickett will be the starter. The kid can play some ball. Lest anyone forget, the ONLY reason Trickett was a back-up at FSU, is because the 2 guys that started ahead of him were each first-round NFL picks. He would have been a starter long ago at most other schools.
LMFAO! You ever been to see the Iron Bowl? The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party? ANY night game at Death Valley? OSU/Michigan in the Big House OR The Horseshoe? ND against ANY rival under the watchful eyes of Touchdaown Jesus?
If you frequented the CFB boards, you'd know that bluesuiter is a Pitt fan, and a MAJOR jackass. He deserves every bit of ridicule that comes his way. Some Pitt players screwed up, BIG TIME! Build a bridge and GET OVER IT!
No. He's the one who was caught by the cops, naked, doing push-ups in the street, in the middle of the night, while claiming to be Superman. His family, including Coach Trickett, later blamed the "unusual" activity on a bout of Lyme Disease. Seriously.
Clint Trickett can play. Don't sleep on this kid. He won't win any Heismans, but he's a coach's kid, who grew up around D-1 football, and is a gamer. He performed better than average as a back-up at FSU, and it wasn't just garbage time. He's got several starts, and wins, under his belt.
It makes the same kind of sense as Bronco Mendenhall being ranked ahead of Jimbo... even though FSU has won a BCS Bowl, AND took the Seminoles out to Provo and hung 50 on the Cougs and their
If you think the kid can play, then make him the starter. If not, then stop acting like a JACKASS and let HIM decide his future!

Who the hell is Steven Bench???
THAT'S atmosphere! Kyle Field? Not so much...
...just my two cents, as a 'Nole...
Clever, and that particular jab does need updating. Spurrier would be proud.
