Can FSU Football win February signing day period?

FSU football brought in some top names in December, but saw their class ranking drop after decommitments – something that can change in a few weeks.

In the inaugural year of the December signing day period for college football recruits, FSU football found themselves in a position where they were “playing from behind” after the defection of their former head coach and the five days before Willie Taggart was hired – a time in which several commitments left the Seminoles for other schools.

The Seminoles did bring in some serious talent, names that include Asante Samuel Jr. along with Jaiden Woodbey and Amari Gainer, but are still down in the 20s or lower in the rankings from several different services.

In just over a week and a half, the traditional National Signing Day will take place with all those recruits that didn’t sign finally putting ink to paper with their future schools – and according to CBS Sports, FSU football has nowhere to go but up and might be one of the big winners when it is all said and done.

"Willie Taggart has been here before, one year ago at Oregon…Taggart’s USF background and Florida roots have allowed him to hit the ground running in the region but his layover in Eugene has helped him secure some West Coast talent as well."

It is going to be interesting to see what Taggart and the coaching staff does to bring the class back into the Top 10. One of the biggest players left that would bring that group up is WR Warren Thompson, one of the top players in the whole state of Florida and got the attention of taggart and multiple assistants to come visit him the other day.

Athlete Tre’Shaun Harrison out of Washington and quarterback James Foster out of Alabama are two of the out of state players that the staff has been looking at along with making strides into recruiting forgotten areas inside the Sunshine State – including the fertile ground of South Florida.

The brand that is FSU football will bring in a high quality player into the program – and it is safe to say that reports of the Seminoles’ demise have been exaggerated.
