He had absolutely no chance of getting in so we went and got the kid from Georgia. Also we and UGA quit recruiting him over a month ago because he showed up to camps this summer fat and out of shape! Dude jumped into the FSU class quick after We/UGA and Miami cooled on him

Dude is a road grader with elite size for a spread/power run scheme. I'm glad we took him over Putnam because Simmons plays with a mean streak and we need that ASAP on our soft a$$ OL!

Banks, Bleich, and Gouraige are solid additions to the 2018 class. Looks like Dan is doing what he can to add more of the same with the 2019 bunch. We need two more OL in this class. Hope we get at least one elite prospect here, but it looks like there will be actual quality depth across the line soon enough.

Nothing is harder to project than OL. I'm happy with high three star bodies that have performed well against elite talent in HS.
OL takes work. Kids don't just step onto the field and perform on raw talent, without working in the weight room, the blocking drills, sleds, etc and in the filmroom, like say a Callaway can at WR.
Some of the 4 and 5 star guys get their ratings bc they can dunk a basketball or whatever despite being 290 and can't actually play football. I don't care if we take a pass on those. Just looking back at Humphreys and others show how hard it is to project ACTUAL PRODUCTION (not NFL draft stock) at OL.

I missed this earlier.
Nice addition. Look at that beard. That is an OL.
He is mostly playing left guard but some left tackle and wearing #78. I really like the play at 1:35 and 3:45ish.

They are going after dudes with the size to step in and play day one so I wouldn't expect any 5* rated kids. The 5* rankings usually go to kids who are very athletic and Who are light in the a$$. We're FINALLY going after road graders who play pissed off!!!

Check out Hunter’s twitter. He deleted the commitment tweet:

No one said that. I said I don't like 5 star OL. I love 5 stars at most other positions. Would you trade Jawaan Taylor for another Humphries?

Longtooth said "quality depth across...etc., not me. How did you get that attributed to me? Sorcerer!

Not loading anymore because Hunter’s commitment tweet does not exist. The question is why. Did FSU turn down Hunter too? Or did Hunter have buyer’s remorse?

I would trade a jawaan Taylor for leatherwood. We've signed like 2 5 star oline men in the last 8 years and they both didn't really pan out. How many 5star linemen has bama signed?

I wouldn't trade Leatherwood for Taylor. Taylor was exactly what we needed. Why? because he possesses a great drive to succeed. Remember he was the one in the weight room chiding others for not being there.
I have no clue whether Leatherwood would have worked out under Butters or if he would have been eating PBJs and watching cartoons instead.
As for the exact count, you can google it if you want.

Jaawan Taylor's a good story and a good player for us. And I'm not complaining about this new commitment because i too think hes a quality pick up. But the notion that we don't want 5 star talent on the oline is ridiculous ,dude.
