His only connection at Florida State is Tre’Shaun Harrison. If you are sweating about him going to Florida State you deserve it to finally understand how important peer connections are.
“We should never take a player to increase our chances at another player” is said all the time by fans even though the coaches told LV to hold off on his commitment to save a guaranteed spot for Gary Bryant Jr (Tre’shaun Is better) in order to connect with Korey Foreman.
This is the bed the coaches made by not recruiting Tre’shaun so have fun sleeping in it while a bunch of Savell to FSU stuff comes out for the next month while he simultaneously tweets at Sawyer (who he’s never met) and Paolo (who he had beef with until Paolo embarrassed him).
With RARE exceptions, recruiting/hiring/etc somebody with the expectation that that will help you with someone/something else later is FS
You can decide if this was a case that was worth it
If you want to say we tried that with Kyler Manu, then so be it ... how did that work out?
The biggest problem with your logic is that you tend to give the appearance of looking at all of these recruiting situations as one off situations instead as part of a collective whole.
And FYI, I had no clue that Smalls has beef with Paolo ... if that’s true and we can only take one ... Paolo is probably the bigger recruit as it pertains to his sport/program
