UM Recruit Desecrates FSU Logo at Doak Campbell (foxsports.com; Mitrosilis)
What did mom and dad always say about being a guest in somebody's house?
Probably some version of "mind your manners and respect the place."
I'm guessing Al Blades Jr. didn't get that message when it came to visiting the home of Florida State.
Blades Jr., the son of late Miami Hurricanes great Al Blades, is a defensive back recruit in the Class of 2018.
He's already committed to the Canes but still took a visit to Tallahassee last weekend for the spring game. What did Blades Jr. do in Doak Campbell Stadium? Oh, you know ...
