Stefon Thompson / Portal from Nebraska to FSU

[orangeinohio]

Similar to Lowery in that his stats took a little bit of a hit this season.

I'm not saying that it was a mistake to transfer.
There could be a combination of several reasons for his stats to be worse than the previous year.

I'm more curious if there is a consistent challenge with overcoming new team, new coaches, new location, etc. and it's more likely that players who transfer take a backward step in their first year.

That’s what my thoughts were


Although wouldn’t hate to see him come back here

I really do not see Fran taking any player back that left via the portal from su. I feel Duce was an exception because of his prior relationship with Fran and he left under the prior staff.

I guess White likes him.

So now FSU is taking OUR transfers? What a difference a year makes.

 

[NJCuse97]

I guess White likes him.

I assume this is a “continuity hire”. He knows the system and the culture.

Half of Nebraska’s defense is going there.

This might be the hire that saves Norvells career or White replaces him down the road

I guess White likes him.

He is a perfect fit for the 3-3-5 but he doesn’t seem to have the same explosion from his freshman year when he started here.

Also, strange seeing FSU going to 3-3-5. They usually are able to get the difference makers up front. It doesn’t seem like a good fit for them.

Don’t think they are going to this scheme out of necessity. They want the DC who happens to run a 3-3-5.

Will love Tony at Cuse if Fran gets a bag somewhere else.

I guess the question is, if it can be an effective defense when you're scheming around deficiencies in talent, can it be even better when you can get the talent you don't have to scheme around?
