and others. It honestly feels like every single player on this Florida State team started their career on another roster. And they’re all good.
Nobody ever doubted the impact of the transfer portal. We’ve seen Mel Tucker and Michigan State — among many other programs — use it to exceed expectations. But there has always been a question of whether a team could portal itself into national contention, and, once it arrives, use that success to become a better recruiting program in the high school ranks.Not only is this Florida State team very good, but the Seminoles have seen a major uptick in their recruiting results in the 2024 cycle.
Florida State gives me pause this year because depth is so important in this sport. You may argue that the transfer portal has made recruiting rankings less relevant. And that is true.
That’s what having a 90 percent blue-chip ratio means for teams such as Alabama. The average — yes, average — player on Alabama’s roster was a top-100 recruit coming out of high school. That’s bonkers — and it creates such a wider margin for error than other programs have.But Norvell has built something that has us considering the possibility. That makes the Seminoles one of the most interesting teams in the sport this year.
