FSU football is whipping the Miami Hurricanes on and off the field. However, ‘Canes fans continue to hate on the ‘Noles recruiting prowess.

Did you have a bigger brother or cousin that always beat you up when you were younger? That has to be how the Miami Hurricanes feel as of late.

They’re the loser of seven straight games to the ‘Noles, in which that loss usually results in a downward spiral for the rest of their season.

FSU football is also consistently beating the ‘Canes on the recruiting trails, and that’s a prime reason they’re beating them on the football field.

In fact, the last time Miami finished with a higher recruiting class than FSU football was 2008.

Which brings us to now where FSU has the No. 6 class nationally and the No. 1 class in the ACC. Miami is in the No.16 spot with 25 percent of their class considered “blue chip” players.

The ‘Noles and ‘Canes don’t compete for many of the same players nowadays, but a Miami target visited FSU earlier this week and Miami fans lost their minds.

Miami Fans React To Target Visiting FSU

Four-star receiver Devonta Smith from Louisiana visited FSU earlier this week and the visit went sort of under the radar. Apparently FSU has been recruiting Smith on the low low, and schools like LSU, Miami and Alabama are in the mix now.

Final Thoughts

Can a fan base get any more hilarious? I mean c’mon son. When’s the last time a near five-star wide receiver went to Miami from Louisiana? Hell, when has one gone to FSU?

Also, Miami has Johnny Wholestaff vying to be their quarterback next season. What blue chip recruit wants to go into that situation?

Let me tell ya, if you’re having a bad day and need a laugh, just goto one of the Miami football forums. You know the saying it could always be worse?

That one Miami fan couldn’t have said it any better.

Where’s the rolling on the floor emoji when you need it? I don’t think FSU gets this recruit for the record, but they’re still in the mix for 4-6 blue chip players.
