Florida State 2018 football recruiting needs before National Signing Day

Florida State Seminoles football is bringing in quality recruits during the first ever Early Signing Period, but is light on numbers.

All teams with new coaches were hit hard by the new Early Signing Period rules. FSU has just seven blue-chip commitments, and nine overall, but that number of elite players is right up there with other programs captained by new coaches like Florida, Texas A&M, and UCLA. FSU is the only team with a new coach to have a five-star signee.

Coach Willie Taggart said Thursday that he expects to sign 16-18 players, and that he will not sign more just to sign more.
