Also, all of the recruitniks are saying Bama’s boosters have opened up the floodgates to go even larger than Jawja (who started this year’s “arms race” in paying recruits). So the price of your average recruit is now skyrocketing thanks to Bama and Jawja.
I kind of wonder if that’s what happened with Hall ie Oregon wanted to join the arms race and paid him a boatload. It’s certainly suspicious that he goes with Oregon under 24 hours of our visit.

"There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese."
To Jalen Hall going to Oregon, yeah straight from the horses mouth.
About Bama and Georgia upping the going price of recruits, nothing official that would be actionable by the NCAA just lots of recruitniks talking about it like on Bud Elliot’s last Podcast, Jason Staples on his podcast and whatever they’re calling the Big 3 podcast. I’ll see if I can find some “hard” twitter references.
Yeah I can’t find tweets about it (shocking I know) but it’s covered in the latest podcasts I mentioned. Bud in particular is surprisingly open about the use of bagmen by the various schools. If you go back and listen to the last three months or so of his podcast, you could basically write an article on their techniques. I’d provide links straight to the podcasts but I don’t know what constitutes linking to a competitor versus open source news so I’d just say google the keywords podcast and the names of the individuals I gave.
Here’s a little, you just have to translate “commitment” to paying money because the recruitniks use “commitment” as a slang shorthand for payoffs.
So the good news is that Warren Thompson supposedly cancelled his UF visit so that should skyrocket our chances of an official commitment from him.
Up to #20 on Ken Pom.
In addition to Briggs it looks like Xavier Peters is in the fold as well and Jamarcus Chatman allegedly is very close.

So on the one hand it’s probably not a good sign for our WR class that we had to offer Keyshawn Helton a guy whose only other offers are USF and Alabama A&M but there’s video of him absolutely smoking the #2 safety in the country 5 Star Ohio State commit Tyreke Johnson. Just flat out burned past him. So maybe he won’t be a waste of a scholie and complete desperation. I’m still holding out hope we get two or three of the 4 Star WRs out there. Maybe steal Copeland from the Gators.
New D.C. Barnett becomes highest-paid assistant in FSU history
Ira Schoffel • Warchant.com
New defensive coordinator Harlon Barnett will be the highest-paid assistant coach in Florida State history, receiving an annual salary of nearly $1 million a year over the next three years.
The details of Barnett's and FSU's other eight new assistant coaches' contracts were released Monday following records requests from Warchant and other media outlets.
Here are the basic details from those agreements:
* Defensive coordinator Harlon Barnett: $980,000, 3-year contract;
* Offensive coordinator Walt Bell: $700,000, 3-year contract;
* Offensive line coach Greg Frey: $650,000, 2-year contract;
* Defensive ends coach Mark Snyder: $450,000, 2-year contract;
* Linebackers coach Raymond Woodie: $400,000, 2-year contract;
* Wide receivers coach David Kelly: $375,000, 2-year contract;
* Running backs coach Donte' Pimpleton: $345,000, 2-year contract;
* Tight ends coach Telly Lockette: $325,000, 2-year contract;
* Special-teams coach Alonzo Hampton: $275,000, 2-year contract.
Before Barnett's hiring, the previous largest annual salary for an FSU assistant was former defensive coordinator Charles Kelly at less than $900,000 per year.
Along with their annual salaries, each assistant coach also will receive a portion of the school's Nike Elite allotment (as determined by the head coach); $650 monthly car allowance; cell phone; tickets to football, basketball and baseball games; a $25,000 signing bonus; and other potential annual bonuses.

Well, hopefully Barnett will successfully utilize the vast assets at his disposal and earn his pay.
Looks like ESPN has FSU up to 16 today which is ahead of UF and the 35th ranked aTm.
Adams was a three star we always counted on, but the we are so ridiculously thin at WR we are really needing 4 this class. So Adams is one but we still need 3 more. I was hoping to land 3 of the 7 or so 4 stars looking seriously at us but Jalen Hall sticking to Oregon and Copeland looking like a Gator recruit leaves it more likely we only land 1 or 2.
Like I said, Helton is a reach for us. But based on what I saw in his highlights, when he’s on he’s pretty good so he might end up a “steal”.
Joshua Moore dropped us from his final three and will be going to either Oregon or aTm. So along with Jalen Hall that’s one WR possibility we lost out on. So it’s basically down to Warren Thompson, Tre’Shaun Harrison, Jacob Copeland and Antoine Green as 4 star WRs we’re still after. And Copeland and Green seem pretty distant possibilities at the moment. So realistically we need Thompson and Harrison both just to get to 4 WRs (assuming we take Helton).
That was with mediocre WR coaches like Dawsey (07-17) and Jeff Bowden (94-06) in charge of the position forever. You’d like to think we’d upgrade in that position coach. I was hoping we’d get Dugans in that position as Kelly is more of a recruiter, but I doubt he does worse than Dawsey and IS an upgrade in my mind....just not as big as if we had Dugans.
But yeah, 23 years of Jeff Bowden and Lawrence Dawsey in the position means we’ve screwed over some high level talent over the years. It’s shocking how bad our coaching at that position has been.
So to some extent, our class’ success depends on whether we can break the Armwood curse. If we get Lamar, Thompson and Miller then our class will end up top 10 and we should have enough WR bodies to make me less nervous. If we fail to get them then we’ll be very thin at WR and will likely end up outside the top ten.
Sure, the whole thing is definitely cringe worthy, but hey, he is mixing it up with the regular citizens. Besides him dancing like a stiff, old white guy (as he is) good for him.
Warren Thompson is announcing tomorrow, down to us and Muschamp. He SHOULD be coming to us, but if he doesn’t my panic will set in. Still need 3-4 good WRs
Dear Fellow Seminoles,
As the 2018 Legislative Session moves along, we continue to share our priorities and accomplishments with state lawmakers. The unprecedented successes we achieved last year, with legislative help, provide the momentum we need to convince the legislature to continue moving our preeminent university forward.
Our vision to become a Top 25 public university is now well within our reach, and with the legislature’s support I know we will get there. I am optimistic because our lawmakers know that Florida State is one of the most efficient universities in the country, and they understand that supporting FSU students and faculty is a wise investment in the future.
As members of the Advocate for Florida Statenetwork, your voice and advocacy on behalf of FSU will continue to make a difference in achieving our goals for excellence and help state decision-makers develop a greater appreciation for our University. We would hope that you also encourage others to lend their support to FSU and our agenda by joining Advocate for Florida State.
Thank you for your willingness to lend your assistance on our behalf. We heartily appreciate your support. For a comprehensive look at our 2018 Legislative Priorities, please go to the Advocate for Florida State website.
Sincerely,
John ThrasherPresident
So supposedly we just officially landed Warren Thompson. 2 WR down, hopefully 3 to go.
I did read we are trying to nab UT’s “steal” in Young and he’s supposed to be coming in this week or maybe weekend.

I asked if this would require drug testing. No response.
Confused. The "steal" you're talking about. Is that the guy that no one had on their radar except UT?
