Norvell won at a high level with a really great QB and a stellar transfer portal class. After their departure, because HS recruiting was so poor the cupboard was bare. Jordan Travis, covered a lot of coaching warts that are now evident at FSU. Not only coaching warts, but the lack of HS recruiting has sunk them.
My worry is that if Billy hangs all of his success on Lags and HS recruiting doesn't pick up dramatically we could find ourself in a huge hole after this run is over-I heard many people saying we will go all in on the portal next year to win immediately. While I admire the effort, if we don't continue to build the program through stellar HS recruiting where will be be in another 2 years?
Some might say, worry about that later. But looking at what has happened to FSU it has to be something that needs to be top of mind. Let's say Billy has 8 wins next season with lagway and portal and we extend him. We could be exactly where FSU ended up.
Unless HS recruiting gets better we can't survive off the portal. Recruiting took a nose dive this time last year and has not recovered. THIS HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT IS CONSIDERED when deciding Billy's future. You cannot live and die by the portal. We see where that has gotten teams and and it can be an unrecoverable situation especially if we have to sign an extension NEXT YEAR.
