Florida State fans probably wish life could go back to the simpler times of the legendary Bobby Bowden or Jimbo Fisher hoisting national championships. Unfortunately, the Seminoles now have six losing seasons in eight years, and it has been dreadful for anyone to even wear the Garnet and Gold.
The program has been a laughing stock for analysts across the college football world, and to make matters worse, head coach Mike Norvell is firmly on hot-seat lists this offseason.
The morale of the program is low because Florida State fans keep seeing individuals talk about how the program is moving in the right direction, but the losses keep happening. With that said, the Seminoles have to change this quickly to build excitement for future players.

High school recruiting has to be better with Florida State football. The harsh reality is that the Seminoles are not keeping up in that department. The program has to find more creative to get talent to Tallahassee.
It was helpful that Florida State had its Legacy Weekend this past weekend with former players such as Jared Verse, Jordan Travis, and Trey Benson. However, the Seminoles need to have more opportunities like these to take advantage.
Former Florida State players James Wilder Jr. and Karlos Williams will be going to the Seminoles' campus with a recruit tomorrow.

Williams Jr. doesn't have a recruiting profile or a Hudl, but it is encouraging that the two former Seminoles will be coming to Tallahassee for a trip. Both have championship DNA and know what it takes to be successful with being on the 2013 national championship team.
This could be a great weekend for prospects to soak in information from two players who are now coaching other youngsters.
