Is FSU a Has-Been or a Sleeping Giant? What Does the Amarius Mims Situation Say About FSU's Status?

Summary: Florida State Football suffered another major letdown on the recruiting trail when five-star offensive tackle transfer Amarius Mims decided to stay at Georgia following a hastily concluded official visit to FSU. Should this be viewed as another loss for Mike Norvell and his staff or should this be chalked up to them being victims of circumstances beyond their control? Regardless, it isn't all negative. Max and Drake talk through how the act of getting Mims on campus could be seen as a signal that the people around the Seminoles program are willing and able to step up to the NIL plate when needed. Could this have a positive residual effect with other big-time recruits? Next, the guys get more theoretical in discussing the place of FSU football in the national landscape. Is Florida State viewed as a USC in that they are viewed as being one or two moves away from being back on top? Has too much time passed and the outside factors become too challenging to the point that FSU is seen as a Nebraska destined to never return to its former glory? If you had a blank check book and could hire anyone how long do you think it would take to get FSU back to top 5 finishes and national championships? Learn more about your ad choices.
