High School Recruiting

This is the area most FSU football fans are concerned with at the moment as several offensive tackle targets have decided to commit elsewhere recently.

There are 16 of the 28 offers committed elsewhere and likely seven other targets who FSU has little to no shot of landing.

Now, there may be a couple of those players committed elsewhere who could flip as they began to take visits once things open up once the coronavirus issue becomes more clear.

The coaching staff should always want to make high school players the foundation of their recruiting. These are players they’re guaranteed to have for multiple years and who they have full control in terms of helping them develop.

The downside of recruiting high school players is most of them are not ready to contribute as a true freshman. Those players are the elite of the elite, and there are not many of those in each recruiting cycle.

High school recruiting is more of a long play, and unfortunately for FSU, they need their offensive line fixed like yesterday.
