Cristobal thrilled with class of recruits

Cristobal thrilled with class of recruits

"Mario Cristobal doesn’t sleep with a teddy bear. Getting a Pooh Bear, though, may enable FIU’s coach to get some well-deserved rest.

'A lot of sleepless nights,' Cristobal said. 'A lot of tireless work days have led to a great, great signing day. We’re all fired up.' "

Re: Cristobal thrilled with class of recruits

Getting the Mississippi State transfer in at QB will help FIU tremendously. That kid played well in the SEC so we know he has the ability.

Actually I think it's the opposite. I think he did poor in the SEC and he was benched and lost his job which is why he is transferring. Doesn't he have to sit this year out anyway?

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Correction: He didn't play well as a sophomore, but he had a decent freshman season. He will have to sit out a year.

ahh ok so we were both kinda right. In any case even if it was just for a season, the experience he gained by playing against SEC competition I think will be a big benefactor for him especially against SBC competition but there's going to be a lot riding on him especially coming from an SEC school

Re: Cristobal thrilled with class of recruits

Yes, he didn't play well his Sophomore season, and was demoted….Some in Mississippi State say his demotion was unfair, but the numbers were bad.  However, as a freshman, he did play good enough to earn Freshman 1st Team in the SEC.

I will say this.  Cristobal is just a relentless recruiter and salesman of the program.  We are thrilled with the change, to say the least.
