Kudos To Staff

Listen, have the Noles missed on some elite targets that would have changed the perception of this 2020 recruiting class?

Absolutely.

That’s what’s going to happen when you have the type of season FSU had along with firing a coach during the season. I still believe it was the right move as teams were going to continue negatively recruiting against the product being produced.

Major kudos must go to Odell Haggins, Ron Dugans and Telly Lockette of which the latter is no longer on staff. They did an amazing job of keeping most of the 2020 FSU recruiting class together.

In fact, there were only nine decommitments so far in this recruiting cycle. One of which rejoined the class and already signed and early enrolled (Josh Griffis)

There were really only three of the nine decommitments the Noles would absolutely love to have in this class. That’s Jaylan Knighton, Morven Joseph and Keyshawn Greene. The good news is only Knighton signed with an in-state school.

The new staff came on board and hit the ground running with the help of Haggins and the other coaches.
