By now, word has gotten out that FSU football and quite the finish to their 2018 recruiting cycle – overcoming the neglect that came from the former head coach to finish strong under the true leadership from head coach Willie Taggart and his assistants to bring a group in that finished in the top 13 of every service – including ninth by rivals.
One area that had some people concerned was the amount of talent from the state of Florida that looked elsewhere when it came time to sign letters of intent. Of the 21 signees for the Seminoles, just nine came from the Sunshine State – which, after years of dominating the area, meant the Noles had to watch rival Miami and other schools raid that talent.
