Wow! 5 sacks for a DT is beastly for sure.
Ed, Thanks for the update. You didnt mention Mike Blakley in the RB’s. Is Florida not on his radar anymore?
Jacob — Blakley had a bye this week. Still very much on the radar. This is also not a list of every prospect Florida is after or has committed just what I could find before Sunday night.
Hi Ed,
Any word from the “Recruits of Interest” thoughts after them game? With seeing a true freshman step on the field and break a school record I would think that might inspire?
Hi Ed! Just wanted to if you’ve heard of 6’2, 220 lb running back “Shocka” Henry of Yulee High School. Just a sophmore, runs a 4.5 or 4.4. Already on Florida State’s list of “ones to watch”.
With Jimbo getting all the good talent in Florida, I see why Urban has to travel the world to recruit players. Gator Nation, your little run is over. Timmy is off making an absolute embarrassment of himself in the NFL…..oh, wait, he can’t, because he’s been deactivated. That’s right. It’s tough to look too awful when you are not even the backup. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your four-year run. Please have medical staff nearby for when Urban has his meltdown after the game Saturday night. If he has a heart attack after shaking the winning hand of Saban, I want him to get the best treatment available.
FSU is back, baby!
Go Noles!
