Albany DE Jared Verse (transfer - FSU commit)

[turnuptheVOLtage]

Big miss. Not great

 

[gainesvol82]

Pearce has a chance to be really good and he’s already got size to him. Think Josephs is going to have to get bigger

TWSS on a tee

 

[VolGee4]

Odell Haggins

He doesn’t coach DE’s.

 

[gainesvol82]

What about some of the other portal edge players. Antonio Doyle from A&M? There’s also a couple of guys from LSU and Auburn. They’re probably at least good athletes. We have no quick twitch pass rushers except for Young and the 2 commits.

I know….it cracks me up….. guy enters portal that no one had heard of before…. He becomes a must get or the season is ruined….I wanted him too but he was an FCS player so his skills may or may not translate to the next level.

The ACC is a step up from FCS.

The SEC is a step up from the ACC.

The kid made a decision to go to the next level...not 2 levels up. This is the justification for his decision. At least that is what I tell myself rather that b!tch and moan about things.

Some of you in here be like:

Hunker down. You’re about to get blasted. The Josh Heupel/Rodney Garner H2O carriers are out in force this morning.

They’re a pretty spry bunch I must say.

1. The hand wringing and Pearl clutching is shortsighted and over reaction. At some point we have to learn to not live and die with each recruit. When you are rebuilding, aside from a generational QB, no one recruit is going to pull you out of the muck. It’s more comprehensive, big picture. This guy might add one more win this next season, but more than likely he wouldn’t change our win/loss one bit.

2. All the innuendoes and talk that this young man and others are drawn to FSU because of the “talent” and pretty girls is rather disgusting. You are questioning his character as it pertains to how he handles relationships, smearing young women who are daughters, and displaying pervy tendencies. Can we leave out talk of 17-22 year old college girls / women? It’s just inappropriate on many levels.

He doesn’t coach DE’s.

DLine coach. It’s similar to RG coaches the DLine and coach Ek

Haggins coaches the defensive tackles and doesn’t coach DE’s. Garner is our entire DL coach. Ekeler coaches outside LB’s, but I get your point with a rush LB.

But Haggins is not Verse’s position coach.

This is speculation at best. Rodney Garner makes good money to sign players. He’s a good coach, but is limited on SEC quality talent. We all know this. You hire coaches to sign players, and of course coach them up. This was a missed opportunity to improve a need position. He must do better. Heupel must do better. It’s that simple.

whoa. we missed on a fcs player.

think we can all agree heup needs to step it up.

we can criticize martinez, jean mary, and banks. but, esd was a win for garner. dude has been best recruiter ive ever seen.

let's see how all this plays out.

this was about garner, not others.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Recruiting doesn’t remember those who were in it.

cool

 

[Volanooga2521]

Roman

He’s ok. But, we still need more pass rushers.

 

[Jackcrevol]

He’s ok. But, we still need DL, DE, LB, S, and CB

 

[Maxwell865]

Recruiting doesn’t remember those who were in it.

Transfer Portal does remember

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

How is it not?

Because a guy choosing where to further his education and playing career is not dependent on one person. By all means, explain how it’s Garners fault that we didn’t get Verse.

 

[SpendToWinVol]

Bit unsure we can get back to relevance with this admin so focused on “doing things the right way” like @LA Vol said.

North Korea claims Kim Jong Il invented the burrito

Still less dishonest than American media, but trying to close the gap. Maybe he should offer some of our "reporters" NIL deals.

You probably think us missing on Nolen was Garners fault as well right?

Well we did things “the other way.” Did that get us anywhere?

It’s hilarious. Like others have said, dude was a 2* recruit. Those that are saying this was a huge Miss and the staff needs to do better would be the same ones complaining if we recruited him out of HS.

we def coulda used him. but there will be others

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

It isn't a big deal that we missed on him unless by next year we have no transfers and our pass rush isn't any better. No need to panic now.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Aren't sweating this one bit. He appeared to be a solid player but they'll be plenty of players hit the portal between now and fall camp. We'll get one equally as good or maybe even better. Watch and see.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Agreed.

And the fans saying it’s “no big deal” are the ones head-scratching when we lose the game after scoring 45 points.

More players may come available, maybe not. As long as we’re in it, right?
