Throughtout the season, I did a comparison of how many 4 and 5 star prospects participated in the game compared to how many played for the opponent. That 2023 team went 13-0 while being outmanned in the LSU, Clemson, Miami, Florida and Louisville games
So how does in look for next year?
By my count, FSU had two 5 star prospect on the 2023 last year (Akeem Dent and Hykeem Williams) and 21 four-star prospects. Of those 4 stars, 12 were freshmen or redshirt freshmen and only a few played a substantial amout (Hussey, Hikeem, D. Hill, Armella) so the Noles got a lot done with good evaluaions of three star players.
The Seminoles will have more five stars than last year with three (Williams, DJU and Marvin Jones) and 31 four stars for a total of 34 so if you measure a roster by star count the numbers are trending in the right direction.
The addition of DJU at quarterback and Marvin Jones at defensive end help to satisfy position needs, which is of paramount importance. I'd like to see FSU add another player at the following positions through the portal or later signing period: DE, DT, LB, OL and maybe TE, RB and receiver if he is a deep threat. By the look of their transfer portal hey are bringing in those positions on visits.
