Just how bad will missing on a 2019 QB recruit hurt FSU? It depends

Florida State has failed to sign a high school QB recruit for the second year in a row, after John Rhys Plumlee picked Ole Miss on Monday and Lance LeGendre, a prospect FSU fully expected to sign, chose Maryland. That follows not landing Sam Howell in the Early Signing Period.

So this is bad.

As of February 6, 2019, FSU has just one eligible scholarship quarterback on its roster: James Blackman. In case you missed it, Deondre Francois was removed from the program over the weekend.

While LeGendre was not guaranteed to qualify academically, FSU pursued him like it expected him to be more likely to qualify than not.
