Remember the terrible Orlando Sentinel Mike Bianchi article from the summer questioning why Florida State accepted Dalvin Cook, not waiting for the not guilty verdict which ultimately came after he published? Cook had no criminal convictions in high school. And finding out about player behavior, especially when the person is a juvenile (easier if the recruit is overaged and is an 18-year old as a junior) is a lot tougher than people realize.

This morning, though, I saw a note about a former FSU commit Tyrek Cole, a five-star cornerback talent who could potentially have played a role as a true freshman on this FSU defense. According to sources I spoke with at the time, FSU dropped Cole's commitment due to character concerns. He's since been arrested twice, the most recent coming Wednesday. Arrests are not convictions, but this is an example of FSU dropping an elite talent over character concerns. It does happen.
