Florida State Football Recruiting: What to Watch for at 'Noles' 2nd Junior Day

Florida State's first junior day was a success that resulted in a pair of 2016 commitments and another in the 2017 class, but this weekend, it's hoping to duplicate that feat as a host of top prospects make their way to Tallahassee for the 'Noles' second junior day.

According to Chris Nee of Noles247, 5-star receiver Nate Craig-Myers—who has pledged to Auburn—and 4-star defensive end and current 'Noles pledge Janarius Robinson—headline this weekend's group of visitors.

Jimbo Fisher and his staff will look to build on a 2016 class that currently rates as the nation's No. 3 class.

But what are the main storylines for fans to pay attention to with regard to the happenings in Tallahassee this weekend?

Let's take a look at a few of them here.

Noles Trying to Flip In-State 5-Star WR

Florida State has an impressive group of skill players already committed in 5-star quarterback Malik Henry, 4-star tight end Isaac Nauta and 4-star receiver Keith Gavin.

One player they would love to add to that group is Craig-Myers—who is the nation's top pass-catcher in the 2016 cycle.

While Craig-Myers is committed to the Tigers, the fact that FSU is getting him on campus early is huge for its chances of flipping the 6'2", 205-pounder.

According to Ryan Bartow of 247Sports, Craig-Myers admits that his process is still open at this point despite his early pledge.

"I like the way they get the ball around to the playmakers," Craig-Myers explained to Bartow on his thoughts about FSU. "Plus, it's just a family."

Gauging his thoughts on FSU post-visit and the strength of his commitment to Auburn will be interesting to monitor.

Henry Not Visiting?

One thing that could entice Craig-Myers to consider taking his talents to Tallahassee is the fact that FSU will have one of the nation's most gifted passers to get him the ball in Henry.

However, according to Josh Newberg of Noles247, both Henry and Nauta—teammates at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida—will not make it in for the junior day this weekend. 

Newberg reports that Henry does plan to make it to Tallahassee next weekend, but with other high-profile targets in attendance, not having the crown jewel of the 2016 class in attendance puts a bit of a damper on this weekend's festivities. 

Considering he has already scheduled plans to make it in next weekend, there's likely no reason to worry among Seminoles faithful about the strength of Henry's commitment. After all, Fisher's resume with top-tier quarterback recruits in recent years is as good as it gets. 

However, if he no-shows again next weekend, his recruitment could become a little more interesting. 

Top LB Target Visiting After Offer

Linebacker is one of FSU's biggest needs in the 2016 class, with the 'Noles looking to potentially bring in four players at the spot in this cycle, according to Newberg.

One player who recently earned an offer from Fisher is 4-star linebacker Jaquan Yulee.

The 6'2", 240-pound Virginia native is the nation's sixth-best inside linebacker prospect in the 2016 class.

Yulee fits the bill of what the 'Noles are looking for in the middle level of their defense. The fact that he would schedule a visit shortly after his offer—coming from as far away as he is—is a sign of the level of interest he has in Florida State.

Out-of-State 2017 Studs Checking out FSU

It's never too early to get a jump on the next class for recruiting powers such as Florida State, and Fisher and his staff will get a look at some big-time rising juniors who are visiting from out of state.

One player making his way to Tallahassee is 2017 4-star linebacker Markail Benton.

The 6'2", 214-pounder will be making his way to FSU accompanied by a pair of 2016 teammates in 4-star corner John Broussard and 3-star linebacker Jamal Couch, per Nee.

"I'm going to Florida State on Feb. 28 for their junior day," Benton told Bleacher Report about his thoughts on FSU at the Adidas Georgia Showcase earlier this month. "They are just smooth. They got good coaching. I just like the atmosphere."

Another pair of elite 4-star athletes who will be in attendance this weekend is Devon Hunter—who is a prep teammate of Yulee—and Georgia native Jamyest Williams.

FSU already has three commitments in its 2017 class, and it appears that the Seminoles are laying the groundwork to land another stellar class in the next cycle.
