Peyton Joseph had not been spending any time on campus and had actually been at FSU quite a bit.

In summary:247 and On3 have been pretty adamant that the class is going to sit relatively light until this fall. A lot of the players are waiting to see the on-field product this year.
nothing cooks recruiting quite like a dead man walking.Wiggins will be next.
yeah and most of the kids are committed by August. classes change very little after that these days247 and On3 have been pretty adamant that the class is going to sit relatively light until this fall. A lot of the players are waiting to see the on-field product this year.
They are. And then you normally have the finishing touches come on in the first half of December.yeah and most of the kids are committed by August. classes change very little after that these days

So I’m not sure how this class is going to turn out well.
That’s why it’s embarrassingly comical when people, including sports writers, accuse fans of not giving a head coach time and being too quick to pull the plug. It simply doesn’t work that way in college football. Let’s say hypothetically we stay the course with Napier despite a 6-7 win season this this year because of “the schedule”. The constant discussion of his job security, combined with the lack of on-field results and development, will be enough to crush any chance of a good ‘25 class. So that means even if we held onto guys like DJ and LJ, by the time they’re taking the reins in ‘25, they’re being surrounded by three straight classes outside the Top-10, and therefore are the bright spots on an overall underwhelming team talent-wise. That equals another somewhere around .500 type season, more questions about Napier’s future, and further recruiting declines. It just doesn’t work. The portal/free agency element helps, but it doesn’t change reality.
As great as Tebow was in 2008, he depended heavily on guys from the ‘07 and ‘08 classes. Even as strong as the ‘06 class was, if those classes that followed were subpar because of a lack of performance, then there are no Pounceys, Wrights, Demps, Raineys, Dunlap, Janoris, etc. It’s why many of us called the Arkansas game last year the end of his run here. I wasn’t even expecting competitiveness in the three outings that followed, so that was his chance to at least get a bowl game and capitalize on the massive recruiting weekend. He failed, in part due to poor preparation(first two drives), in part due to stubbornness with the RB rotation(see who got us back in it and have us the lead), and in part due to his insistence on not having a STs coach. The failure that day was a great synopsis of his time here and why it will most likely be ending this fall. Nothing that we could do on the trail with current HS Jrs has any chance to help him.
If he wins less than 8 he should be canned. He has a really good QB. No excuses.
You’re correct. This class is shot if he’s fired. Unless the admin does something completely uncharacteristic and hires somebody like Urban Meyer.I fully agree. But again, I just don’t think that would do enough to salvage this class. As you and law mentioned, it would be too late to make a major rise. That puts us at 4 straight classes outside the Top-10, which he’s proven he can’t win with. I think he has to knock it out of the park this season, with like 9+, to change the view. Anything less and we’re just kicking the can by not making a move.
#metooThe only thing that will make a great class in more NIL money. I personally don't think a college athlete should get a dime for their athletic prowess, but that's just me.

You must not have seen B52s tiktok accountWell, I’m actually saying it’s shot either way. Outside of some massive fall campaign, indicating the last two years were the outlier, this year was always going to be 2015-esque. We'd need to not only win a ton, but also have DJ be a major part of that success in order for ‘26 to be back in play for a great class. All of that seems about as likely as B52 becoming a TikTok star, but hey, stranger things may have happened.
He might deserve it, and if the season goes South, maybe no way to avoid it. But that would mean Stricklin hires the next coach and I doubt it's something he wants to do and might not have the next great coach available.If he wins less than 8 he should be canned.
