Class of 2026 OL Xavier Payne (FL) Verbal to Colorado

[Cuse12]

How did his OV go?

Seemed good enough for him to cancel his commitment to FSU

 

[Sdot]

Don’t know how true this is, but I saw a few FSU guys say he got kicked off his official visit at FSU this past weekend.

 

[Ozone!]

Xavier, show us some love​

Ah the classic we are losing him to Syracuse let’s make up an excuse so that folks don’t realize we still suck maneuver.

From what I read. The coaches were tired of him “playing games” so they told him to go home early on his offical visit. Thus leading to him de-committing.

I read on this board Dan Mullen was going to be our next coach … doesn’t make it true. I do find it funny that this became an issue after he had a.) visited FSU in the past and b.) been committed there how long? I guess their fan base much like the Japanese must save face. I mean you do realize he committed there last year and had two unofficial visits prior to this one right?

They didn't like his Cuse luggage tags.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Wasn't a take for FSU.

Wasn't a take for FSU.

Actually after remembering they went 2-10 last year, he realized the coaching Staff and Team all quit last year. He decided that wasn't a good place to go to.
At the first sign of adversity they very well all could do it again.

I mean honestly would you want to play for Norvell? Even when he speaks he sounds like he is whining.

And when Fran speaks, it sounds like winning. Amazing turn around.

Three-star Edison (Florida) offensive lineman Xavier Payne decommitted from Florida State after official visits to other schools. After official visits season ended, Payne has narrowed his list of schools to Syracuse and Colorado.

 

[DocFlanders]

This would be huge, both literally and figuratively

 

[CA Monk]

We want him on that wall. We need him on that wall.

SU vs Colorado on the recruit front. Starting to become more frequent.

Dude is a wall

 

[Qbobby]

Well well well...

I’m not sure there could be two more different cultures or coaches.

 

[DocFlanders]

I think we get him. And I'm considered a big thinker by many.

True but the two are very tight, seems like Prime is a bit of a mentor to Fran in some ways.

 

[Nicknack]

The thing I love about Fran is that he likely gets pumped up by competing and winning against the big boys instead of walking away scared of FSU, Bama, Georgia, etc. He also probably loves going head to head against Deion. Fran is a damn competitor!

He’s Camden tough and we need this type of mentality leading our program.

 

[TommyA13]

I imagine this means he’s committing July 7th

 

[orangemass]

Would be a big piece

He’s just excited to wish me a happy birthday. Settle down, X, you still have a few days to get me a present.
