Mikey 16,781 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Getting outclassed by a G-5 opponent on your home field can't have helped. Was this game ruinous to recruiting? Maybe, maybe not. Nobody can sell me on the idea that a lackadaisical performance resulting in a lopsided loss to a 25 point underdog is a positive thing in the mind of any recruit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not a roadblock though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means Bird was having fun with Went. Per reports we are as still in as good of a spot with him & reporters are still as confident about their AU picks before the game. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSU seems to be back in the picture heavily according to reports this morning.

I've never been a recruit, or high level one anyway. So 🤷♂️ Edited November 20, 2023 by NWALA Tiger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do manage to pull him fantastic I will cheer with the best of them. Not flipping him won't hurt us as yes we keep working him but there is no guarantee, but without trying you have no chance. Very few flip but we are already ahead of the game as we flipped some players already. Edited November 20, 2023 by AuburnNTexas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also didn’t think our current crop of receivers were…what they are. The situation is way different now than it was back then, and there should be a more pained reaction than there was back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
