You have to be constantly recruiting the guys already on your own team in addition to going after new guys. That has to be maddening.
This is a great point and not appreciated enough IMO. This fact just completely destroyed coaches ability to really plan for the future.
And not only recruit your own players but be constantly paranoid about poaching and interference from other teams. Ugh. It sucks.
Check this out @candymanfromgc and @bobbybaker86 and all on board… wow NIL-related recruiting violation occurred in Florida State football program - NCAA.org
FSU The decision contains the full list of penalties as approved by the Committee on Infractions, including: Two years of probation. A two-year show cause order for the assistant coach, including a suspension from the next three regular-season games, a two-week restriction on recruiting communication, and required attendance at a NCAA Regional Rules Seminar attendance. A restriction from off-campus recruiting during fall 2023 for the assistant coach. A three-year disassociation from the booster. A one-year disassociation from the collective. A $5,000 fine plus 1% of the football budget. A 5% reduction in football scholarships over the two-year probationary period, amounting to a total reduction of five scholarships. A reduction in official (paid) visits in the football program in the 2023-24 academic year by seven. The school also will not roll over six unused official visits from the 2022-23 academic year. A reduction in football recruiting communications for a total of six weeks during the 2023-24 and 2024-25 academic years. A reduction in the number of in-person recruiting days during the 2023-24 academic year by six evaluation days during fall 2023 and 18 during spring 2024.
Worries me no commitment yet. Was hoping for another impact/starter and number 10 so far this year. Daniels fits the immediate starter part for sure.
Interesting, but did I miss a description of the penalty? Was it a one position drop in the pre-playoff rankings?
I’m guessing FSU is going to be under a microscope for the foreseeable future. If you’re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
So it may have been more than just winning that spurred their improvement in recruiting eh? Maybe a double down on tampering in the portal as well?
