FSU football recruiting has seen its fair share of criticism among the fan base. Here are three thoughts on how it’s going.
FSU football fans, I love you, and I know its tough to take emotion out of the equation based on how the past few seasons have gone.

However, there are times when we have to set that emotion aside and look at reality and logic.
This spring and summer are one of those times ladies and gentlemen. There are two main factors beyond this FSU football staff’s control that are inhibiting the progress needed to yield the results the FSU football fan base wants.

- COVID-19
