Answer
Jalen, hello!

I have attached websites for you to review the NCAA rules for eligibility, as to when the coaches can talk with you.  If you have talent, they will give you a chance, but you have to be prepared.  Theyw will need to know why the Coach has not given you enough opportunity.  Playing for Florida State and maybe in Bobby Bowden's last year, would be a tremendous life memory.  ECU is fine but FSU is in another class.  They may up and win the national championship very soon................ So, the blue chip competition will be high.....


Take care,

Thom Brooks
