As the Grateful Dead penned, what a long strange trip it’s been. In what feels like about a year ago but has only been a couple of months, Florida State underwent a coaching change recently. And thanks to Jimbo Fisher’s premature abstention from his recruiting duties, the Seminoles’ momentum on the trail slowed to the pace of a Fisher offense. New ’Nole head coach Willie Taggart was tasked with the challenging job of salvaging FSU’s 2018 recruiting class— and for all intents and purposes, he’s very much succeeded.
And that all culminates today, 2018’s National Signing Day. Verbal commitments will make their pledges official, and undecided prospects will make one of the biggest decisions of their lives.
