2025 DB Ladarian Clardy has moved his commitment date back to September 21st. He has narrowed down his list FSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Washington and UCF. This a player FSU might have gotten a commitment from if they had offered him earlier than they did, May 7th of this year. By that time all the schools left in his recruitment had already extended offers.
My understanding is that FSU had questions about his size, which is the reason they delayed the offer until the spring practice period in May. His film suggests, in my opinion, that he should have been offered sooner. It is also my understanding that because FSU was one of Clardy's dream schools that NIL wouldn't play as much of a factor as it seems to be. Granted, no one knows how big an influence it will play, but a source has told me FSU thought the fact he grew wanting to go to be a Seminole might lessen its influence. Ole Miss looks to be the leader at this point, but the delay might help FSU.
