dammit. He also still shows up in VT people search.

Norvell doesn't recruit high school

It's kinda a misnomer... The FSU 2024 class had 23 kids (15 4-stars), their 2025 class had 23 kids (6 4-stars), and the 2026 class has 28 commits with 8 4-stars.

The 21-23 classes all had 18 or less high schoolers.

From my perspective, their 2024 season was the lost season where they lost so much talent, hadn't yet developed high school talent, and missed in the portal. Since then, Norvell has been pivoting to a more high school focus. It's not hard to imagine FSU winning 8-10 games next year, and 10+ games the following year.

I say all that to suggest: It might actually be a good thing for FSU that they don't have the money to fire Norvell. Because Norvell could turn this around again.

lol calling us VPI like it's an insult

To those wondering, no this is not expected to change this week

In other words, UVA can only sell a decent number of tickets when Hokies buy them to see VT beat Hoos about the head and neck.

The best thing about beating them there is that we don't have to call them an Uber afterwards.

It's easy to understand if you could just picture this team, then keep the current coaching but put in place players that already know how to play the position, and are comfortable there.

Better tho is to picture the team with those players AND with more experienced coaching.

This is where POP got flagged for celebration. Usually it gets called when the scoring player faces an opposing player, here we see it's the Miami player facing POP.
Lesson, the way to draw a penalty then is to face the celebrating player and walk towards him.

Norvell has had a Top 25 in high school recruiting in every year so far.

Really no excuse for how poorly they have done.

Or we find them less than advertised and give 'em a quick toss after perfunctorily satisfying ourselves?
