Message: [QUOTE="Crazyhorse, post: 3323535, member: 9139"] To expound a little on the state of FSU's program, here is a comment made by a fellow FSU fan on another site that sums up well why FSU hasnt gotten over the hump. " Yeah, IMO that's the primary reason why we the program hasn't taken the next step and become an "elite" program. The inconsistency in recruiting. In 2010, we brought in Natasha Howard who was a star in the making but the 2011, 2012 recruiting classes were terrible (none of those players were ACC caliber players who all transferred out). In 2014, we brought in Shakayla Thomas, but the following class was underwhelming in 2015. So I dont want to put all the blame on the new assistant coaches as this has been an ongoing problem for awhile now. Many have brought up our PG situation which I always find mind-boggling that sue struggles to bring in elite pg's. We havent brought in a quality pg (directly from hs) since Courtney Ward. We have been able to get by thru transfers (Toles, Delgado, Conwright, Romero). All those players were solid but not considered elite pg's who could get us to a final 4. Kinda random but Gaulden transferred out to Arkansas and is in the same situation she was her freshman year here as they have recruited over her many times now. She would be a senior pg this year with woolfolk and ekhomu. Also, It doesn't make matters easier that FSU isnt the top team in the southeast anymore and has to compete with SC and MSU for top recruits in our region. Both those programs have been to final fours/championship games in recent years and have become prominent nationally. " [/QUOTE]
