Someone who commits to FSU in the first place is self-selecting his future. While it's true a decent number of recruits hadn't considered Stanford before a Stanford coach started working him, there is still truth in sentence #1. That was his stage, that was the kind of atmosphere and program that resonated with him. I've heard the reports about how close we were and that this was a real challenge to FSU. Ehhh.  I also think the whole delayed announcement thing told us about Jameis, too. Seemed to me that he wanted the stage for himself and you can't do that on Signing Day where somebody new is in the spotlight every four minutes.  So he waited and followed his heart with lots of people paying attention. Good on 'em and good luck. At least we weren't and aren't planning around him.
