Not so many years ago the Florida State Seminoles were riding the wave as one of college football’s biggest and most attractive brands for recruits nationwide. Since 2016, FSU has put together a number two, five and ten recruiting class. By those standards, this 2018-19 Seminole roster should be (and is) loaded with top tier talent from around the nation.
Recruiting success leads to on field success a majority of the time. Just ask Georgia, Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State. But, for whatever reason, Florida State has not had anything even relatively close to the success any of those programs have had despite recruiting on a similar level, with the exception of Alabama.
