    FSU Has Fast Start To 2008 Recruiting


    FSU is doing something that is totally out of character for the football program. It is getting verbal committments from high school recruits for 2008. This is the program that has been known to have last minute signings right up to signing day.

    As of today, the football program has already received seven verbal commitments for 2008. Compare this to Florida with one.

    Jermaine Thomas, a First Coast running back touted for his speed on Monday night became the seventh high school junior to commit to FSU for the 2008 recruiting class, and the first on offense.

    The group includes three members of the Scout.com's top 100 national list, but also potentially meets future needs at positions that include safety and linebacker.

    FSU's commitments, six of which came following the spring game, are: Thomas; LB Nigel Bradham, Wakulla; S C.J. Holton, Wakulla; LB Nigel Carr, Jacksonville First Coast High; S Nick Moody, Philadelphia (Pa.) Roman Catholic; LB Vincent Williams, Davenport The Ridge Community High; and DL Anthony Hill, Pensacola High.

    The point should be made that verbal commitments are not binding.

    I think it is great that FSU has so many early commitments but why is this happening?

    I think it is a couple of things. First, recruits are seeing that there has been a fundamental coaching change at FSU. Also, I think the new position that was created has helped. Bob LaCivita is now Director of Operations for FSU football. He is responsible for overseing the logistics of recruiting.
