The Skinny on FSU & DT Gabe Dindy

FSU's recruitment of Lakeland standout Gabe Dindy is picking up in a significant way. The Seminoles have been talking with Dindy very frequently, and there's a good chance he will take an official visit to FSU. And before you jump in and say, "FSU doesn't land kids from Lakeland High School," you need to know that Dindy is not a Lakeland kid. In fact, he's originally from Kinder, La., so he's more of a Louisiana kid. And as you might imagine, he has a pretty good connection with FSU recruiting coordinator David Johnson. He also has built a solid bond with DTs coach Odell Haggins.

Now, even though there is positive movement for FSU, there's also still work to do as Dindy's favorites have consistently been Oklahoma and Clemson. More so the Sooners as of late. That makes this visit to the FSU spring game quite important. It's a nice sign for FSU that he's coming for the game, but an even better sign that he's bringing his family on the visit. This is a chance for FSU to make a move in this race.
