From the 247 article, it sounds like he's been sold on replicating what 2 FSU kids did last year.

Apparently (idk shiz about FSU but...) they had 2 transfers that were 1 and dones and will be drafted. Sounds like that's what he wants (duh I guess).

His motivations are conflicting and he'll have to decide which of them trump the others. Does he want to play for an NC competitor (neither of us), is he tempted at the chance at a 1 and done but with a crappy team, or does he want to be coached by an elite DL coach AND win a decent amount (unlike FSU).

For us - it does sound like he's sold on us being disappointed at "only" 8-5 and our plan to be much improved. Hopefully that and Garner's resume is enough.

Just as a complete aside/other point...but FSU has a championship in these kids' lifetimes. That says it all as to why kids might favor them over us. A 17 yo kid has seen us at our absolute worst. They wouldn't even remember our last trip to Atlanta. Their earliest memories were probably Dooley and Butch going 5-7 when they were 5 and 6. Not much better since. That's depressing as hell, but that's what these kids grew up on. We let our fall from grace last too long ugh

Auto-like for every “8-5” post.

Still Rodney Garner is a better reason than what FSU is offering.

He should know for a fact Garner will make him better

His track record is much more extensive than "oh well look at these TWO transfers we had that played well this year"

While no, he's not Rodney Garner (RG is best in the biz, imo), FSU does have Odell Haggins, and he ain't no slouch...one of the best DL coaches in the country, and has been for a very long time. He's been at FSU for almost 30 years, and has put countless guys in the NFL.

Somehow the subject of Verse's recruitment made it into my dreams last night. Pathetic, I know. At any rate, I dreamt that he chose one of the Texas schools over us because they paid him a sh*t ton of cash. Hope my dream was wrong, and hope to never dream about recruiting again.

“
I still would lean slightly toward Tennessee, just based on what I’ve heard over the past few days. But I haven’t been told that Verse has made a final decision, and he’s high on Florida State, too.
It still sounds like he’s expected to announce a decision by tomorrow, so it will probably be sometime tomorrow. Tennessee has been in good shape with him for a while, but I haven’t heard enough to say it’s a done deal. Verse has been quiet today and seems to be fully in decision-making mode.”

No way in hell he goes to Texas, they are a losing program in the Big-12. It wouldn't make sense unless he is a money ho.

Would be the biggest pickup of the entire offseason, IMO.
