Ban bet with any motherfukker saying FSU aint winning it all in 2016 I wanna hear numbers nikka!!!!!!!!!!!

Just saw the FSU spring game. :whoo:

Got dayum yall look good. Defense on point. Derwin James looks like a 1st round lock in 2018. We all know what Dalvin Cook can do. And Deondre Francois looks legit.

However, the guy who impressed me the most was Auden Tate.

Who is this nikka?

He looked like a faster more athletic Kelvin Benjamin.

I know!! lol. Boy is gonna be a problem once he get that real game experience and confidence. Great hands and body control. 6'5" 225 sophomore. It usually take 2 yrs for our WR start to get it, Jimbo's offense requires a lot from WR's and QB's with pre and after the snap route adjustments. shyt can be frustrating when they aren't on the same page. We saw a lot of that over the last 2 seasons. Jameis dealt with it in 2014 when he had only Greene and TE Oleary as veteran receivers, and last year with inexperience QB's and not quite there midget WRs and inexperience freshmen. Injuries and lack of experience slowed Tate's progression down last year.

My thoughts on FSU coming out of the Spring, I posted this on AHH Cheap seats too. The question was asked and I gave my opinion.
Who you think's gonna be our QB? Maguire, Francois, or Henry??? I didn't even mention Cosentino 'cause I highly doubt it'll be him.

And I know he'll be ready for our opener but I'm worried about the rate Cook is racking up these injuries.​
I can't really say who's going to be our QB, especially with Sean being out this spring. Would have been really good to see if he had made any progress since last season. Francios is gonna have to really put in the work to win the job, the potential is there and mobility is his advantage. Henry will push for starter the 2017 season, he's not ready physically or experience wise, but the tools are there and he's gonna be legit. I'm not sure if JJ can even play football, just get your degree and stay out of trouble.

I think the oline should be better, saw a lot good things from the Oline, the pieces are there to have a great starting 5 and with some good depth. Rick Leonard is going to be good and will most likely start at RT, Minshew or Derrick Kelly at RG. Alec Eberle or Martinez at C with Kareem Are at LG and Rod Johnson at LT. Even tho they didn't work as a 1st or 2nd team unit, all those players looked a lot better than last year and Rick Leonarnd is 10 times better than Brock Rubble at RT.

Auden Tate looks like he'll play a big part in the passing game as the Big WR, he stepped up big time this spring. He will be a problem once he gain more confidence and experience. George Campbell even looked good. So that will help with the trio veteran group of midgets(Rudolph, Kermit, BoBo) we got at WR. Jimbo also praised Pigg for having a great spring, hopefully he's turned the corner. TE is straight with Izzo, Saunders looks like he's gotten better too.

The defense is going to be damn near elite, with the DT and secondary leading the way. Nnadi and Christmas will start at DT and Aime, Williams, and Jones providing good quality depth. Walker and Sweat should have great season with the interior being strong, don't really know what the DE depth will look like with Leonard moving to RT and Torres is unproven and we still got Jacob Pugh.

We should be solid to good at LB, Thomas looks like he's focused, just needs to play more and stay healthy. Hoskins looks good, should build off last season. Kilby-Lane and Josh Brown should provide depth but they are unproven. Pugh and Sweat can also play LB if needed but there are usually only 2 LB on the field for us most of the time..

Charles Kelly has a problem at DB, and that's deciding a starting 5 between White, TMac, Lewis, Andrews, Marshall, James. Possibly Westbrook and Levonta Taylor when he arrives in June. Lewis is a fukking baller at CB. Will be a helluva fight between him and TMac, but Lewis must be on the field; he basically locked down Rudolph on Saturday.

Jimbo is riding this team hard because a lot of these guys played and earned their bumps and bruises last year. Some should have been on the field last year but injuries slowed their progress, but look like they took advantage of the year to learn and get stronger.

The shoulder injuries are a concern since they required surgeries, especially for his position. Left shoulder surgery in HS(don't know the extent), surgery on the right shoulder from spring of his freshmen year to repair the labrum that wasn't football related, and the recent surgery on the same shoulder was minor and was just to clean up some scar tissue. I hope he's conditioned his lower body(glutes, quads, and hammy) and his core muscles to prevent soft tissue injuries.

Tate is also smarter, maturer, and more motivated than KB was after only being on campus for their 2nd yr respectively. I expect Tate to have a better career at FSU than KB

There's something to this. Lack of institutional control at a supposed "Christian institution of higher learning". Don't give me that "oh he's no longer affiliated with the school" bs either. There's a trend. A third accusation breh. A THIRD!!!!!!!
Ex-Baylor player being investigated for rape

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas authorities are investigating allegations by a woman who says she was sexually assaulted by former Baylor defensive end and NFL draft prospect Shawn Oakman.

The news comes amid heightened attention to how the university in Waco has handled allegations accusing athletes of sexual misconduct or rape.

Oakman, who finished his senior season in December, has not been charged with a crime. His agent, Kennard McGuire, told the Associated Press on Thursday he was aware "there appears to be the beginning of an investigation" and that Oakman was "cooperating fully."

The woman reported the alleged assault happened early Sunday morning, according to a Waco police affidavit. The woman told police she met Oakman at a nightclub and walked with him to his apartment, where she said Oakman forcibly removed her clothing and sexually assaulted her. The Associated Press generally doesn't identify alleged sexual assault victims.

Real talk if I could steal any player from your team I'd want him. Kid passes the eye test big time. George Campbell also looked really good in his limited chances.

With the right QB that could be as good a receiver duo as there is in the country.

Yes there's definitely a trend here. Too many cats from there getting into that. I remember reading an article saying SA wasn't necessarily frowned upon on Baylor campus
