Turns out it’s as valid as the number 3 recruiting class for immediate results.

FSU hasn't really recruited that well under Norvell. He's relied too much on the portal, while it should be used to fill in roster deficiencies primarily.

Did none of these players make the team better?

Their high school recruiting is as good as ours.

Plus, they got some solid players (albeit on paper) from the portal.
I wouldn't rush to post that they're worse off because of the portal after one game.

But I didn’t even watch the game and can say with a fair degree of certainty that they are currently worse than they were last season.

DJ missed any longer throw he tried, and they don't have a deep threat anyway.
Coleman won the game for them last year, while our best WR was a freshman. They might not be as good but they lost a lot to the NFL. My point is that the portal could make them better even if they lost today.

No they didn’t. FSU went undefeated last year. If they would’ve focused on recruiting and developing the past 3 years, they wouldn’t be in this predicament.

They sure beat our development program at home with a portal player last year, so there's that.

this season. Fans get their feelings hurt over a loss, and jump all over the lowest hanging scapegoat fruit, but a loss to a team that does something differently doesn’t mean the way you do it is wrong.

No I’m sure they improved. I mean they lost by 60 to UGA like a G5 the last time they played and now they are taking a 7-6 GT team down to the wire.
Reason for optimism!

Ummmmmmm......no, they didn't. The potential is there, but they didn't pay attention, and they drafted dju. Should have known better, but just because you draft off the portal doesn't make you a winner.....

It's obvious that the portal has some good players, usually moving up from smaller schools. It has potential. But to think you should draft the portal for your entire roster????? This is as much proof that drafting your entire roster has as much success as not drafting at all.... Next

It’s almost certain to be a Clemson fan. Amazing since we really don’t use the portal.

I see we have 4 opponents in the top 10 ranking of Portolet users. I guess we can guage after the season.
