Florida State football, recruiting news: FSU loses key weapon for the season due to injury

A 6.5-point favorite; FSU must beat Memphis on Saturday

Jaylin Lucas will miss the remainder of the season; a very unfortunate injury for FSU.

The depth chart has been released and it looks to be largely the same.

Considering how dysfunctional FSU has been in two out of the three phases of the game; it’s important to see how they look coming out of the bye week.

Bowl projections have FSU in Fenway or Mobile Alabama.

Hard to argue against what Matt Baker is saying here:

In May, Norvell said his portal approach was about “complementary pieces.” Complementary implies adding value to something already there. Now that his transfer hit rate has regressed to the mean, FSU’s lack of high school development has been exposed. There haven’t been enough homegrown successes for newcomers to supplement.

In the immediate aftermath of Monday’s loss, Norvell was asked about relying too heavily on the portal to replenish the leadership and experience that left for the NFL. He deflected the question.

“Obviously, I’ve not done a good job putting our guys in a position to showcase what I believe that they are,” Norvell said. “So, I’ll be better.”

He doesn’t need to start by changing the way he constructs his roster. He needs to start by developing the roster he already has.
