The freak speaks...

As you can see he is now on the visit list. Apparently the Seminoles made quite the impression with Lakewood Dante Fowler Jr, a very talented defensive end prospect for the 2012 class. Here are some of his thoughts from the Miami game earlier tonight.

"I felt really good about what I saw from the FSU defense against Miami. The more and more I watch FSU and it's defense the more it makes me fall in love with FSU. I feel like by next year FSU will be able to compete for the National Championship and I want to play on a team that is gonna go to the National Title game and I'll leave it at that.

This weekend I'll looking for intensity, and the defense being headhunters against Boston College"

He said FSU and UF lead the pack but I would give the strong edge to Florida State for Fowler.

Did he really just say FSU could compete for NC's next year?

James Madison called...they wanted to remind everyone how much of a joke the ACC is, and why no ACC victory should count for squat in any sort of evaluation of team achievement.

That said, FSU is clearly the rising program in the ACC, so the road to an undefeated schedule will be much easier there than in some more legitimate conferences.

I would like to disclaim that this post isn't a poke at FSU, who are really starting to pile up the athletes, but at the idea that a kid could look at an ACC win and think that team is ready for a NC run.

Your logic is severely flawed. So because FSU plays in the ACC they can't contend? Because of other teams we aren't connected with in any other way other than a conference?

The ACC is weak yes. FSU smacking the crap out of a darn good Miami team is not at all weak. FSU being ranked 16 is not weak. FSU having one of the best recruiting classes in the nation is not weak. I mean in ACC play our total score would be 110 to 31. I hate saying this because any given Saturday anyone can get beat but as of right now FSU is head and shoulders above the ACC.

fsu a contender for the ncaa title, thats like saying florida has an explosive offensive. Miami is greatly overrated this year with the int machine down there.

Missed the point. Beating Miami should in no way make someone think you're about to gear up for a NC run. ACC teams are terrible. Terrible. I don't know why, but they are.

FSU is the one team in the conference starting to put it together, I think. NC State is doing well this year, but lack the athletes for the long haul.
