Played both ways in HS, but will play the nose at UA.

When Winston signs with us, I hope FSU realizes that their recruiting efforts against Nicholas Lou Saban & his staff are futile.

Porter, you think he signs with us?

 

[ElephantStomp]

He being Winston.

That dude is one big dude. Welcome to the family.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Porter, you think he signs with us?

Personally, yes.

I've heard the same thing from the brother of a former commitment.

That's the first that I have heard that option thrown around. Shows how much I've been paying attention so far this year. Honestly, with his size and frame, it sounds obvious now that I think about it.

Also, I've also seen a lot of confidence growing with Winston...my question is, how's it going to work? That 25 signee limit makes things a little more complicated than usual.

I've heard there a possibility of some of the current commitments being persuaded to look elsewhere in order to make some room...which, looking at the depth we already have, and that we're bringing in it might not be a bad idea for some...

I think this is at a FSU Football Camp.

You still worrying about how the numbers are going to work? :lol:

Haha, I know, I should know better!

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I didn't know until recently why he had this on his desk... I think he calls it his Scholarship Formulation and Encryption Device...

 

[rolltidedrew]

so could someone explain to me how if we do add Winston, Collins, Goldman, Jenkins, etc that they would be able to join the other 24 that are committed already?

I am really not sure how this is going to work, I do feel confident though that it will, but I'm just not sure haha

Does it much matter about Winston? Seems like he is headed for baseball (maybe I'm wrong though).

Just to give folks an idea of what is happening, we signed 22 in last year's class, and with the tragic death of Aaron Douglas we are down to 21 for that group. That gives us room for four players who can count towards either last year's or this year's class, providing they enroll in January. Dixon, Belue, Yeldon and Taylor are all enrolling in January per their announcements, and there may be more. If those four are "back counters" we still have room for 25 in the 2012 class.
