Overall Look At The Class
When we look at the class as a whole, FSU has 13 legitimate blue-chip commits via composite rankings. That's a blue-chip ratio of 56.5 percent.
However, there's some context. Kickers never receive a blue-chip ranking, and Brunno Reus is the No. 4 kicker nationally. FSU has two top-20 JUCO players.
I'd consider those guys blue-chip players, although the composite rankings won't reflect it because of how they rank kickers and JUCO players.
That's 16 of 23 players (69.5 percent) with the potential to make an impact over the next year or so. Yes, some guys rank in the 1,000s, and that's not something we'd ever want to consider the norm for FSU. However, there's some potential with those players, and they may develop into eventual serviceable players.
FSU has two composite top 100 players and 11 high school players overall inside the top 375 players nationally (52 percent of the class). Listen, it's a transition class after going 2-10, and it's not up to the FSU standard by any means.
However, there are not too many programs that can do what FSU did under the circumstances. It's a top 20 class with a nearly 70 percent blue-chip ratio when adding in the two JUCO players and one of the best kickers nationally.
