FSU football: 3 concerns from cancellation of spring activities
By Kelvin Hunt
FSU Relationships with High School Coaches
One of the biggest challenges for the FSU coaching staff is the development of relationships with Florida high school coaches.
Mike Norvell and staff have done a good job of creating opportunities to build those relationships by hosting socials in different parts of the state.
They also have an open-door policy where high school coaches can come to campus to observe practice and get their players’ exposure to big-time college football.
Most impressive deal last night @FSUFootball was Coach Norvell demanding if we had ideas or suggestions to help them do things better or more efficiently, we had to speak up and tell them! Humility goes a long way with folks!

If there is a place with more juice than @FSUFootball practice right now I need to see it cause this ain’t for the weak hearted!

Now that all spring activities have been canceled, these types of functions are likely limited or not happening at all unless FSU coaches continue to host events for the high school coaches.
That’s likely not going to happen due to the NCAA implementing a temporary DEAD PERIOD until April 15th.
FSU coaches being able to get high school coaches on campus is important in establishing those relationships that ultimately lead to improved recruiting in-state. Just look at the tweets displayed above and you’ll see what I mean.
