Credit to FSU.   They did a great job this weekend.  Bringing in the grandparents = smart.  We felt really good about him on Friday.   I'm glad our staff isn't afraid of a good fight.   Good luck young man if you ultimately do become a Nole.

I’d rather him stick with the Noles, than come into the SEC

Looks like he will stick with FSU.

Looks like FSU now, correct?

Based on his last tweet, not so much. But who knows.

Before this weekend, we felt good.   FSU moved the needle this weekend.    It would have been great to have him at the basketball game today.   @bigbird has a better feel for our backend (pun intended) but we are going to be better than okay there IMO.   Improving up front makes them better also.

If you just go in to signing day thinking this you won’t be disappointed.

FSU being good is typically a thorn in our side.  Hope we never let them in the SEC.

We do owe them a butt woopin or two though

I’m sure Auburn made a great push at him but I feel like we were always #2 for him behind FSU. But with the transfer portal now having these relationships is still important for the future just in case things didn’t work out at FSU

They all seem to say Bolden is still a possibility when he is giving nothing to back that up publicly. 

He's not only saying nothing to back a flip up, he's straight forward saying he'll sign with FSU. See today's article posted by fifty in the main football forum.

Bolden is playing word games. He doesn't specifically say he is signing with FSU. That's the interrupatation of the FSU mods.

It doesn't sound like word games to me. "Asked if he was going to sign with FSU, Bolden replied 'C'mon man, you know that'.". I guess hope springs eternal but that doesn't sound like word games to me.

When I watched the video, I heard "C'mon man, you know that [long pause] I can't speak on that." I think that's the reason for his post complaining about the reporters. I could be mishearing b/c of some static but the reporters should have heard him correctly and published his full statement.

FSU feels he's pretty locked in. He was planning on going to the BB game Sunday night after his FSU visit with whole family and while leaving FSU the above mentioned reporter exchange happened and he said he wasn't visiting AU.  Sometimes you hear what you want to hear but it sounds like he's committed to FSU.

I'm not hopeful.  But these guys know what they are doing.

One thing is definitely certain:   AU put forth a fantastic effort with KJ!   He may not come here, but it’s not because we didn’t do everything possible to get him!

Nailed it. Tremendous effort and built a great relationship with his family as well. The portal is always there
