Norvell's ultimate failure - recruiting

 

• -- Norvell has signed five of Florida State's six worst recruiting classes of the modern era, according to the 247Sports Composite. None have finished higher than 12th.
• -- His six classes have included only 10 players ranked among that year's top 100 national recruits. In the six classes before his arrival, Willie Taggart and Jimbo Fisher combined to sign 32.
• -- FSU has signed only one linebacker (Blake Nichelson) who was ranked among the top 50 at his position.
• -- Norvell has lost his top-ranked commit in five consecutive classes.
