I've been a big supporter of Mike Norvell, but seeing Napier and Cristobal come in and immediately start closing on highly rated players makes me think FSU is in the process of falling further and further behind. Bud said it on the Nolecast. How much of this class exists if Hunter is never committed? Probably less than most people would like. Just look at what they lost or lost out on on Wednesday. Tennessee's highest rated recruit, Tyre West. Lousiville's highest rated recruit, DeVaughn Mortimer. Miami's highest rated recruit, Nyjalik Kelly. They're most likely going to lose out on the eventual best player in Miami's class, Kevin Coleman. They lost out on Georgia's 3rd highest recruit, Marvin Jones Jr. Not to mention losing Travis Hunter. They never really competed for Kamari Wilson, who just signed with a brand new coach. Norvell might be able to get this program to a six or seven win level, and I think FSU needs to give him time to succeed or fail, but my belief in the direction of the program has been SIGNIFICANTLY dampened in the last 3 weeks.
We can keep burying our heads in the sand or come to terms with Norvell needing to bring some juice to the staff to compete with the 2 teams we have to beat for kids given our record. I'm concerned he thinks he can run this like some mom & pop small business where it's all in the family.
Napier is hiring some high level coaches/recruiting and building an "army" off the field. I believe it because the guy turned down countless jobs until someone agreed to give him what he wants. He landed 5* Kamari Wilson and 4* Shemar James in 2 weeks.
