- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, it's CJ Wilson here with Dope Talk.
- 0:01Speaker 2: We're one day away from the big time Monday night
- 0:04Speaker 2: matchup against the SMU Mustangs. As you guys know, SMU
- 0:08Speaker 2: is a top 20 team. It's going to be a
- 0:10Speaker 2: night game in Dope Camel Stadium for the holiday. You
- 0:13Speaker 2: start the ACC schedule off with the bangs. With that
- 0:16Speaker 2: being said, it's only right that you have a big, ample,
- 0:21Speaker 2: a huge recruiting weekend, that is, that coincides with the
- 0:25Speaker 2: game itself. So I'm going to go over a few
- 0:27Speaker 2: names the FSU has. visiting for this big-time game, this
- 0:30Speaker 2: big-time matchup against SMU. We won't get into all the
- 0:33Speaker 2: names that will be on Kemp's because it is a
- 0:35Speaker 2: huge list. We'll just go over a few names that
- 0:38Speaker 2: you guys should be aware of just to kind of
- 0:40Speaker 2: take you into the weekend and go from there. But
- 0:43Speaker 2: before we get started, I have to talk about this
- 0:45Speaker 2: huge tailgate that me, James Coleman, and Freddie Stevenson, former
- 0:49Speaker 2: FSU fullbacks, are throwing. You guys know we do big
- 0:52Speaker 2: tailgates every damn year for home games and that type
- 0:54Speaker 2: of deal. This one could be our biggest one yet.
- 0:57Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever been a part of a
- 0:59Speaker 2: tailgate where this many former players are already, I guess
- 1:05Speaker 2: you would say they have already confirmed that.
- 1:08Speaker 1: They will be at the tailgate.
- 1:09Speaker 2: There's going to be a lot more confirmed within the
- 1:11Speaker 2: next day or so, especially the day of, and there's
- 1:13Speaker 2: random pop-ups as well, too. But some of the names
- 1:16Speaker 2: we do have confirmed so far, we have Dalvin Cook,
- 1:19Speaker 2: in my opinion, greatest running back in FSU history. You
- 1:21Speaker 2: know what he brings to the table. Peter Ward, Byron Stork,
- 1:25Speaker 2: former FSU center, won the national championship and Super Bowl
- 1:28Speaker 2: champion with the New England Patriots. Carlos Williams, Reggie Norfolk,
- 1:33Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. So many names that's going to
- 1:34Speaker 2: be popping up at this tailgate. Terrence Brooks, if I'm
- 1:37Speaker 2: not mistaken, as well. For the menu, we have burgers,
- 1:40Speaker 2: hot dogs, ribs, mac and cheese, green beans, baked beans,
- 1:45Speaker 2: dirty rice, you name it. And we also shout out
- 1:47Speaker 2: to our new sponsor for the tailgate. We have Fly
- 1:49Speaker 2: By Philly's. that we'll be providing Philly cheesesteaks as well.
- 1:52Speaker 2: So you get all of that plus our thin Philly cheesesteaks. And,
- 1:56Speaker 2: of course, all that food with your favorite spirits and beer.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Red Bull as well, too, is going to be sponsoring
- 2:01Speaker 2: the tailgate as well. Shout out to Red Bull. So
- 2:04Speaker 2: you've got Red Bull to keep you energized. And, of course,
- 2:06Speaker 2: we're going to have your sodas and waters as well, too,
- 2:08Speaker 2: to keep you hydrated. Live DJ, we're going to be
- 2:11Speaker 2: doing live podcasting as well. As you guys know, me,
- 2:14Speaker 2: James Coleman, and Freddie Stevenson, each have our own podcast.
- 2:18Speaker 2: We're going to be doing some streaming as well, too.
- 2:20Speaker 2: So make sure you guys grab that ticket for the tailgate.
- 2:23Speaker 2: The link to the ticket will be in the comment.
- 2:26Speaker 2: It will be pinned in the comment section in the
- 2:28Speaker 2: description of this video as well. You don't want to
- 2:30Speaker 2: miss this one. This is an elite tailgate, to say
- 2:33Speaker 2: the least. The names we have pulling up is just ridiculous.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Make sure you guys bring your paraphernalia if you want
- 2:39Speaker 2: to get it signed. Don't miss this one. Again, grab
- 2:42Speaker 2: your ticket to the tailgate. Also, I believe FSU Athletics
- 2:46Speaker 2: and A.D. Michael Alford will be stopping by as well. So, again,
- 2:50Speaker 2: make sure you guys grab your ticket to the tailgate
- 2:52Speaker 2: on top of Lot 19, the parking garage across from
- 2:55Speaker 2: the women's soccer field. Again, lock in your tailgate ticket now.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and jump into it. So, again, this
- 3:01Speaker 2: is the recruiting list for the SMU game. I'm going
- 3:04Speaker 2: to go over some commits. Well, let's start with the
- 3:07Speaker 2: 2027 class first. Focus on some commits that FSU have
- 3:12Speaker 2: that will be on campuses already committed to FSU. and
- 3:14Speaker 2: some guys that FSU is working to flip within the
- 3:18Speaker 2: 2027 recruiting class that's currently committed to other programs. The
- 3:22Speaker 2: first thing I want to discuss in regards to the commits,
- 3:24Speaker 2: Tayshaun Poole, four-star safety from Georgia. He will be on
- 3:28Speaker 2: campus for this one. FSU ended up winning the recruitment
- 3:31Speaker 2: between the University of Georgia and the Tennessee Volunteers to
- 3:35Speaker 2: land Poole's commitment. Sam LaJune, that's a four-star defensive lineman
- 3:39Speaker 2: from Mississippi. This one, well, both of these recruitments surprised
- 3:43Speaker 2: me because once you taking a deep defensive player from
- 3:46Speaker 2: the state of Georgia that Kirby Smart wants. You win
- 3:49Speaker 2: that recruitment, that's a big-time win because those players rarely
- 3:52Speaker 2: need a state of Georgia, especially, like I said, a
- 3:54Speaker 2: defensive player that Kirby Smart wants personally. Sam LaJune, again,
- 3:58Speaker 2: you rarely have these kids from Mississippi that leave the
- 4:02Speaker 2: SIP area. You know, they're typically going to Ole Miss
- 4:04Speaker 2: or Mississippi State or close to schools like Alabama or
- 4:07Speaker 2: something along those lines. So four-star defensive lineman Sam LaJune
- 4:10Speaker 2: did commit to FSU. has been locked in. He will
- 4:13Speaker 2: be on campus visiting for the SMU game. Logan Flaherty,
- 4:17Speaker 2: the quarterback committed for this 2027 class.
- 4:20Speaker 1: He will be on campus.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Jackson Holley, three-star edge rusher that's committed to FSU as well.
- 4:25Speaker 2: He will be on campus for the game. Now, there's
- 4:28Speaker 2: a few prospects that are committed to other schools that
- 4:29Speaker 2: will be on campus, like Theo Wilson, linebacker that's committed
- 4:33Speaker 2: to the University of North Carolina from Tampa, Longwood, big-time
- 4:36Speaker 2: program down in the Tampa Bay area. He will be
- 4:39Speaker 2: on campus. You have Darius White, This is an interesting one. 6'3,
- 4:44Speaker 2: cornerback from Georgia. Like I said, Georgia's... Get a player
- 4:48Speaker 2: from Georgia, man. Georgia football has really been on the
- 4:51Speaker 2: uptick in recent years. But 6'3, cornerback from Georgia. He
- 4:54Speaker 2: is committed to the University of Alabama. So to have
- 4:56Speaker 2: an Alabama commit on campus, try to have a good
- 5:00Speaker 2: atmosphere in Doak County Stadium and try to get in Doak...
- 5:02Speaker 2: I'm sorry, in Darius White's area a little bit as
- 5:05Speaker 2: FSU ironically plays Alabama in a few weeks.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Now this....
- 5:11Speaker 2: Recruit that's going to be on campus, forgive me if
- 5:13Speaker 2: I'm pronouncing your name wrong. We have Earl DeMontagnick. Earl DeMontagnick. Again,
- 5:24Speaker 2: if I'm pronouncing your name wrong, please forgive me. Three-star
- 5:27Speaker 2: defensive lineman from Ornewood as well that's committed to the
- 5:30Speaker 2: Nebraska Cornhuskers.
- 5:31Speaker 1: So a few flip.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Cameras for the 2027 class that will be on campus
- 5:37Speaker 2: for this SMU game.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Again, you know, you guys on the defensive back, guy
- 5:43Speaker 1: by heart.
- 5:44Speaker 2: So I'm really taking, well, I'm really looking closely to
- 5:46Speaker 2: the Darius White visit. 6'3, quarterback that's committed to the
- 5:50Speaker 2: University of Alabama for the 2027 class. Now moving over
- 5:54Speaker 2: to the 2028 class. The number one overall player in
- 5:58Speaker 2: the country per 247 sports, edge rusher Cameron McGee from Chicago.
- 6:04Speaker 2: He will be on campus for this game. Big time,
- 6:07Speaker 2: big time visit. This kid's a big time playmaker as well.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Like I said, number one overall player for the 2028 class.
- 6:12Speaker 2: And he is a trench guy. He will be on
- 6:14Speaker 2: campus for the SMU game. So I believe this is
- 6:18Speaker 2: his first visit to FSU, if I'm not mistaken. I
- 6:21Speaker 2: could be wrong. But regardless, you want to have you
- 6:24Speaker 2: want to make a good impression. I do believe this
- 6:25Speaker 2: is the first game day visit for Cameron McGee to
- 6:30Speaker 2: Florida State. So you want to have an electric atmosphere
- 6:33Speaker 2: and that type of deal. Have a good show on
- 6:34Speaker 2: the field because I have no doubt in my mind
- 6:36Speaker 2: that the crowd will show up.
- 6:37Speaker 1: The team do their part.
- 6:39Speaker 2: It should be a hell of an atmosphere going into
- 6:44Speaker 2: the game.
- 6:44Speaker 1: And then, like I said, this can carry over for
- 6:46Speaker 1: the rest of his recruitment.
- 6:48Speaker 2: We have Chase Brown, a Florida State receiver, committed for
- 6:51Speaker 2: the 2028 recruiting cycle. He will be on campus as well.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Chandler Dyson, I like this kid a lot. Four-star big-time
- 6:58Speaker 2: quarterback from Georgia. He will be on campus. As well, too,
- 7:02Speaker 2: he visited FSU over the summer. FSU is starting to
- 7:05Speaker 2: make a push within Chandler Dyson's recruitment, so this is
- 7:07Speaker 2: one to watch. He will be on campus for the game.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Nation Farmer, top 100 four-star offensive tackle. This is a
- 7:15Speaker 2: big-time recruit as well from IMG. He is currently committed
- 7:18Speaker 2: to the Tennessee Volunteers. He will be on campus as well.
- 7:21Speaker 2: So shout out to Herb Penn, your offensive line coach,
- 7:25Speaker 2: for getting Nation Farmer to commit to being on campus.
- 7:28Speaker 2: We can see if he can flip this big-time prospect.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Another big– this is probably the biggest visit. I would
- 7:37Speaker 2: say probably the biggest visit of the day for FSU,
- 7:40Speaker 2: in my opinion. Just position, proximity, and that type of deal.
- 7:44Speaker 2: That's five-star defensive lineman from local Thomasville County Central, Prince Chi.
- 7:50Speaker 2: Got to make an early impression here. Like I said,
- 7:52Speaker 2: you don't– for one, he's a local kid coming from Thomasville.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Thomas Central is one of the best programs in the
- 7:58Speaker 2: state of Florida it is. So you want to have
- 8:01Speaker 2: a recruiting footprint in a local area where you want
- 8:07Speaker 2: to have those relationships, right? You want to have it
- 8:09Speaker 2: in to Thomasville. You want to get the best players
- 8:12Speaker 2: that come from South Georgia. You want to have those
- 8:14Speaker 2: relationships and get in with them. FSU is in a
- 8:16Speaker 2: good spot here. So you want to try to have
- 8:19Speaker 2: a good showing, like I stated. Electric atmosphere. Have the
- 8:22Speaker 2: defensive line do their thing against a top-20 opponent. Big-time
- 8:25Speaker 2: five-star defensive line from local Thomas County Central.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Prince Chief. will be on campus.
- 8:32Speaker 2: We have Ishmael Schaefer, three-star Air Georgia from IMG as well.
- 8:40Speaker 2: We have Najal Thigpen, three-star offensive tackle from Miramar, Florida.
- 8:45Speaker 2: King Fuller, three-star offensive tackle, sorry, three-star tight end rather
- 8:50Speaker 2: from Georgia. King is standing at 6'5, 230 pounder. So again,
- 8:54Speaker 2: a mammoth of a human being and he's just a junior.
- 8:56Speaker 2: He will be on campus as well. We have Seven Rashad,
- 9:00Speaker 2: a 6'5 receiver for the 2028 recruiting cycle from Beaufort, Georgia.
- 9:04Speaker 2: All right, so I don't really like going too, too
- 9:07Speaker 2: deep into future classes. As I just went over the
- 9:10Speaker 2: 2028 class, a few juniors. There's a few guys within
- 9:15Speaker 2: the 2029 class. I know, hey, 2029, so far away.
- 9:19Speaker 2: These kids are sophomores, that type of deal. Trust me,
- 9:21Speaker 2: that recruitment will be here before you know it. So
- 9:23Speaker 2: it's a few names I want to highlight within that
- 9:24Speaker 2: 2029 recruiting class. that will be on campus as well.
- 9:29Speaker 2: Highly rated four-star cornerback Omarion McRae from Sarasota, Florida, will
- 9:34Speaker 2: be on campus, sitting at 6'1, 175 pounds. Big-time prospect
- 9:38Speaker 2: for that recruiting cycle, so you want to get in
- 9:40Speaker 2: early and develop those relationships.
- 9:42Speaker 1: In D.J.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Washington, 6'3, top 50 player overall within the 2029 recruiting cycle,
- 9:49Speaker 2: four-star pass rusher from Alabama, D.J.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Washington.
- 9:52Speaker 2: So again, these are two Highly regarded players within the
- 9:54Speaker 2: 2029 recruiting cycle, that FSU was trying to get in
- 9:57Speaker 2: early on to build those relationships. So again, they have
- 10:00Speaker 2: them here for a big-time atmosphere against the SMU Mustangs.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Can't do anything but help within that recruitment if FSU
- 10:07Speaker 2: does their part on the field. So that's the other caveat, right?
- 10:12Speaker 2: How FSU does on the field. I really think this
- 10:14Speaker 2: could be an opportunity for a big-time atmosphere to just
- 10:20Speaker 2: showcase your talent in front of these recruits and show
- 10:23Speaker 2: what the FSU program is all about and how they
- 10:25Speaker 2: fit within the program.
- 10:26Speaker 1: So I'm really excited to see.
- 10:28Speaker 2: The output based upon the recruiter list we have because,
- 10:31Speaker 2: like I said, this is just a few names I
- 10:32Speaker 2: went over.
- 10:33Speaker 1: The list is very healthy, a very long list.
- 10:36Speaker 2: I just want to highlight a few names that FSU
- 10:38Speaker 2: fans should be aware of going into the weekend.
