Since 2005 FSU has started 6, 6, 4, 6, 6, 4, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 3, 5, 3, 1, 0, 2 and 1 white athletes. In 2024 they are projected to start 1.

The most laughable thing about this team is putting the QB position in DJ Uiagalelei's hands. He's proven to be one of the bigger bust recruits. He was decent at Oregon State and up/down at Clemson. I put FSU at +/- 8 wins this year. This team has been bad going back 20 years now but really became pathetic under Jimbo Fisher and continues to do so with the new coach.

Players to look out for are QB Brock Glenn, TE Jackson West, DT Grady Kelly, LB Blake Nichelson

Offense-0
TE - Kyle Morlock

Defense-
None

I have noticed that a lot of the teams in Florida tend to have the biggest caste effect out of all the states, whats the story with that?

Athlon's has LB Blake Nichelson as a Starter. Only a Sophomore. Guess we shall see.

Surprised to see DT Grady Kelly transfer in from Colorado State....maybe he saw Braden Fiske success ?

Still the 'Noles have been close enough to resembling a HBCU over the years. Not one O-Lineman as a Starter WOW

Good point my guess is that it is a combination of good players, overhyped players bc of that “florida speed”, and white hs athletes in florida trend more towards baseball whereas in texas, pa, or even ca to an extent you will find plenty of white hs football players who love the game and choose that as their number 1 sport.

It's honestly just a bizarre fetish at this point. There is no rational explanation. A vast majority of these Florida blacks amount to nothing at the collegiate or pro level.

There are plenty of good white HS football players in Florida but baseball and other sports definitely siphon players off.

Given how white college baseball is, seems like that is a big spot for them.

Can’t blame them.

The inevitable tv shots of the pretty white fsu cheerleaders then panning to the all negro fsu team is so grotesque and unnatural I don’t think I’ll be able to watch a second of the criminole’s this year

Trainwreck in Tallahassee. Bizarre that an a college that supposedly has such an eye for talent decided to build around a QB that obviously was not as good as the scouting services made him out to be.

QB Brock Glenn takes over. Free Shoes faces Clemson this week.
Their problems go way beyond Uiagalelei. They suck and are undisciplined across the board. It's beautiful to see! The QB is like many of the highly-rated black/poly/whatever HS QB's. They are impressive to watch as they run around opposing HS players and throw lots of deep balls to wide-open receivers. Most reach their peak right there and then take college roster spots from white QB's who actually have "upside."

Criminoles always have affletic crootin classes too! DWFs can’t explain it. Besides blame the coaches for not coaching the affletes up.

What he said. Slightly off topic but it reminds of the star RB in the great movie "Friday Night Lights" much HS flash but running about in college was going to be a different story. And for the umpteenth time I mention this but back in 88 on a buddy's team their star RB highly touted yet could not break your granny's arm tackle went to Kansas full ride only for the cuck coaches there eventually realize he they should move him to CB (where a QB looked him off for about a 20yard gap to his receiver). Their white FB that could move inside and break tackles probably got an offer for a roofer's job.

And the 7v7 camp circuits where most of the difficulties playing qb are removed

Florida speed develops from affletes running from the police at such a young age. They can turn on a dime running around corners of the ghetto.
