You must not remember that Jimbo Fisher was a monster recruiter at LSU. According to some said we should have hired way back when.

The problem was he was over shadowed by bigger monster recruiters we had. He never recruited a lot of players in one class like a couple other coaches but those he recruited he landed some decent players out of there.

FSU has always recruited well but Fisher has kicked it up a notch over the last few years of Bowden. The reasons are mainly that he's hitting the right spots where FSU is very popular(AL/southern GA),UF and Miami are down(UF still recruits at a very high level though),he's selling a dream that can't be recruited against just yet(another disappointing year next year may begin to kick that door down) and he has a majorly badass recruiting staff. Go take a gander at the staff he has and you'll get a better understanding of how they are pulling these kids. 3 names tell the story. James Coley(top notch recruiter that acts just like the kids he recruits), Eddie Gran(may be the best FL recruiter in the country) and Dameyune Craig(the best young recruiter in the country aside from Tosh Lupoi). Fisher learned very well from the Saban coaching class and has used his knowledge the best of all the Saban coaching tree. Problem is that he just isn't a good HC imo. He's a good ceo type HC but he needs big time coaches around if he's going to be successful.
