Florida State Has Nation's Best Football Recruiting Class, ESPN Says
Submitted by Anonymous on February 2, 2011 - 6:16pm
The Florida State Seminoles vaulted to the top of the country's 2011 football class, landing several blue-chip recruits on National Signing Day Wednesday.
Building on a strong 2010 season, in which they crushed in-state rivals Florida and Miami, the Noles earned the No. 1 recruit ranking from ESPN. FSU had 29 signees, including one five-star commitment and 16 four-star commits.
In a sign that the ACC's balance of power is shifting back to Tallahassee, defending conference champion Virginia Tech's recruiting class failed to place in ESPN's Top 25.
The Miami Hurricanes also finished out of the Top 25, and have plenty of catching up to do with new head coach Al Golden. The school said 14 national letters of intent came across the U's fax machine today.
The Florida Gators' recruiting class ranked eighth in the ESPN standings with 18 signees, including one five-star commitment and nine four-star commits.
