Awesome job Coley!

I’m almost beginging to expect a new recruit or coach a day all the way till christmas. I can’t begin to explain how exciting this is

by Njfoshizzy on Dec 7, 2009 7:26 PM EST reply actions  

His recruiter was Dawsey and Haggins

They were at First Coast today. Not sure how much Coley (Or Eddie Gran for that matter) had to do with it but I’m sure they didn’t hurt. Beverly is a solid pickup and should be one of the top 200 players in the nation

TOS has him listed as 205 and 5’11 whereas on espn he is 5’9 and 220. what is the truth?

by St-AugNole on Dec 7, 2009 7:29 PM EST reply actions  

Wow a lot of RB's

this one and Brandon Gainer is going to go to FSU thats a lot of RB’s what will that be a total of 7 for next seasons roster?

by Lemus_87 on Dec 7, 2009 7:31 PM EST reply actions  

Being honest

all I really want to see is Joyner, C. Green, Dorsey, Jones, and Chaz Green going to Tallahassee

by Lemus_87 on Dec 7, 2009 7:40 PM EST up reply actions  

I like Gainer a bunch

am probably the biggest Gainer fan out there.

Chaz Green will be at Tennessee for sure. I think the ’Noles can land the other 3

by Bud Elliott on Dec 7, 2009 7:41 PM EST up reply actions  

Who

who do you think will land the other 3? or what? coaching changes or Coley, or guaranteing success? remember its going to be Jimbo’s debut

by Lemus_87 on Dec 7, 2009 7:44 PM EST up reply actions  

It would be nice to have him..

But i don’t think he would get a lot of playing time and we need to spend that scholarship on a defensive player..

by Nole93 on Dec 8, 2009 11:10 AM EST up reply actions  

+1

I think if we wanted him we’d have him by now

by tricknole on Dec 8, 2009 1:42 PM EST up reply actions  

if you are talking about demar dorsey...

…he already commited to be a gator – bummer. I’ll still gladly take jones, green and joyner though!

by fsu9310 on Dec 7, 2009 8:39 PM EST up reply actions  

Demar Dorsey is extremely overrated and has character concerns, ftr

he means Wayne Dorsey

My guess is that it is between USF and FSU

Since UT was recruiting him, I’m hoping Gran made a good impression and the Gran addition can swing him our way. I believe that you take the best talent you can get when you can get it.

by NoleLaw on Dec 8, 2009 2:19 AM EST up reply actions  

Beverly registered a 4.74 40

i know hes still a junior but for a running back???

by egynole on Dec 7, 2009 7:32 PM EST reply actions  

o ok

he is a junior that is kool because it will leave some space on the roster

by Lemus_87 on Dec 7, 2009 7:34 PM EST up reply actions  

u sure???

He seemed faster than that. But wouldnt you say the game has changed since then? How many times do we see speed winning over power (dont use the 09 FSU defense as an example)

by egynole on Dec 7, 2009 7:42 PM EST up reply actions  

power running

power running is useful just ask Oregon

by Lemus_87 on Dec 7, 2009 7:45 PM EST up reply actions  

He has a 31 inch verticle

There is a lot of explosion in those legs

IE, he gets to top speed pretty freakin quick

by Trus1te on Dec 7, 2009 7:47 PM EST up reply actions  

Didnt Dekota have a 46 inch vert?

he exploded alright…right past the ball carrier.

by egynole on Dec 7, 2009 7:48 PM EST up reply actions  

LOL

Well, hopefully this guy will explode past the linebackers

by Trus1te on Dec 7, 2009 7:52 PM EST up reply actions  

good one

I definitely lol on that one

by BS37FSU on Dec 7, 2009 9:45 PM EST up reply actions  

Jerry Rice

had an awful 40 time as well. It really is overrated. It does tell you something, it is fun and interesting to look at, but some of the kids are much much faster with the ball in their hands or chasing people down field. For instance, Bradham is clocked in the 4.5’s but ran down Jeff Demps who is clearly faster than a 4.5. On game day, if this kid has earned his way to the ESPN 150 watch list, I doubt he runs like a 4.7

by truenole87 on Dec 7, 2009 9:40 PM EST up reply actions  

yea because thats the conference they play in

but they arent playing florida’s and miami’s. Dont know, though from what ive seen from Fisher and co, they do evaluate talent well, and if they dont play up to expectations…see ya (ty jones maybe)?

by egynole on Dec 7, 2009 7:47 PM EST reply actions  

opinions...

WC just reported that 4 assistants will be out next year. They didnt list them but whos the fourth? Amato, Carter, Allen aaaand……???

by egynole on Dec 7, 2009 7:55 PM EST reply actions  

Yeah

We talked about it this morning in the article on what Jimbo will do with the program and I think there was a lot of info in the comments section.

>>---l>

by DKfromVA on Dec 7, 2009 7:58 PM EST up reply actions  

I have no idea who they are referring to, because it is more than 4...

We’ve discussed this a bunch of times.
Bowden- retiring
Andrews- retiring
The Allen, Carter, Amato, and Stroud are all gone.

Please don’t fish for subscription info from other sites. Had I not already mentioned this news countless times I wouldn’t have known it to respond to you.

by Bud Elliott on Dec 7, 2009 7:58 PM EST up reply actions  

You named the 4

They are talking about 4 guys not being retained. You listed 6 guys, 2 of which retired.

by tricknole on Dec 7, 2009 10:30 PM EST up reply actions  

Beverly committed to our coaches several weeks ago

glad to see it go public today! Welcome aboard!

I got a feeling

Barnes stays committed to us.

by BigWorm on Dec 7, 2009 8:41 PM EST reply actions  

His decommit was never confirmed...

couple of folks now say he’s denied it personally.

Regardless, he isn’t solid. Maybe Beverly will help a bit.

bowden university

thats the new assisted living center, right?

by B-rod24 on Dec 7, 2009 9:57 PM EST up reply actions  

saw that today

what a shame. its ok to be loyal, but hes a little overboard

by egynole on Dec 7, 2009 11:59 PM EST up reply actions  

Saw what?

He said FSU last night on Sundy Night Football intro’s.

by tricknole on Dec 8, 2009 12:49 AM EST up reply actions  

His twitter

I went to bowden state university… Something to that effect

by egynole on Dec 8, 2009 1:58 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

and Jeff Womble

What we do in life, echoes in eternity.

by Okinole on Dec 8, 2009 12:51 AM EST up reply actions  

Ok...

We want 14 DL+LB

Deas (if he qualifies)
McCloud
Brooks
Smith
Jacobs
Lemonier
Dorsey (if we beat out ole miss)
Barnes
Cummings
Erving
Luc
Jones
Smith
Onwukaife
Akuna (if he visits)
Terrell (if he sticks)

That’s 16. Can we get 14 of 16? probably not, but there could be another guy come along as well.

by Bud Elliott on Dec 7, 2009 8:55 PM EST up reply actions  

I think we could land everyone on that list but Lemonier. Just not feelin’ him.

by tricknole on Dec 7, 2009 10:37 PM EST up reply actions  

I agree he's doubtful

But I don’t know that we’ve completely written him off. Maybe he follows Smart and maybe Smart comes to FSU.

I think we can pull 14 LBs + DL FSU’s defensive class this year could be the best in the country. If we wind up with Sunseri and Travis Jones, then we’ll have a TWO former NFL line coaches and maybe we can sell him on becoming a part of this very special defensive class. FSU is on his short list and for some reason he hasn’t pulled the trigger yet. I can fully understand why a kid would want to go to a school with a proven product vs. the uncertainty of a newly formed unit, as well as someone who has seen the atmosphere Tuscaloosa vs. Tallahassee this past season. It’s a long shot, but hopefully FSU won’t just give up on this one.

by NoleLaw on Dec 8, 2009 12:07 AM EST up reply actions  

It's this easy with Hubbard:

If Bama opens a spot for him in the class, he’ll commit 5 minutes ago.

If they are full and turn him away, he’ll be a Seminole.

by NoleThruandThru on Dec 8, 2009 12:08 AM EST up reply actions  

off subject

but doesn’t Smart being named Asst of the Year make it less likely he comes? One rationale was getting out of Saban’s shadow. That certainly helps.

by sperrett1 on Dec 9, 2009 12:59 PM EST up reply actions  

Mike Boulware has a kid I think

Or, actually, I have no idea. But he married an All American pitcher on our softball team. Sign those kids up NOW.

by tricknole on Dec 7, 2009 10:32 PM EST up reply actions  

Is he our 4th ESPNU150 recruit of 2011?

If we don’t start next season on top of the recruiting leader board, I’ll be surprised.

by basaltrock on Dec 7, 2009 8:45 PM EST reply actions  

4 dor 4 so far

and all in-state kids too.

The talent is here. You either have to wrestle it away from Miami and Florida or get your own stronghold early. I’m glad we’re going the latter route. It’s a hell of a lot easier.

Just a watch list

By the time next year rolls around and they narrow it to 150 some of these kids could be on the otuside looking in

by osceolafan850 on Dec 8, 2009 12:08 AM EST up reply actions  

well for one, that kid is frickin huge.....

…and those gloves make it look like he has claws lol

by NorFla_Nole on Dec 7, 2009 10:57 PM EST up reply actions  

Not to rain on the parade

I wonder is Luc 17 or an old 18 turning 19 prior to the end of the school year? Him being Haitian, that tends to lend itself to having a bit more natural size, considering a lot of Haitians mentioned in the article are LB’s and D-Lineman (except Garcon). Point being, does anyone have an opinion on what his true upside is? Is he Marvin Jones or Darryl Bush, Derrick Brooks or AJ Nicholson? He is tremendously developed already even if he’s 21! Especially at 6-1, is that gonna put a cap on his growth and development as a player?

by westcoastnolefan on Dec 7, 2009 11:50 PM EST up reply actions  

Are you afraid he'll leave for the NFL after his freshman year? LOL

He’s a monster is what he is. He’ll have some room for development, particularly in pass coverage. Rivals says Luc can squat 700 lbs but he can only bench 335. This past year, the announcers were saying Ponder can press 400 lbs. I’m thinking that there might be a possibilty to reshape him a bit by adding mass up top, loosening his hips, and teaching him the mental game. Apparently he has a 3.4 GPA. It’s good to field intelligence as well as raw manpower. Here is a nice article discussing his development and growth at Treasure Coast: http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2009/07/11/jeff-luc-nations-top-linebacker-recruit-no-longer-allergic-to/

by NoleLaw on Dec 8, 2009 12:40 AM EST up reply actions  

Good lookin

I already felt good about getting this kid. It’s nice to know he already has a brother in college and he’s a good student himself. Last damn thing we need right now is our own version of Willie Williams! I was just afraid he may have been a UF silent already. Definitely has NFL tools. Once we have a competent staff in place to refine those tools, we may have another Bradham on our hands

by westcoastnolefan on Dec 8, 2009 1:11 AM EST up reply actions  

Correction

I thought he may have been a UF silent before he commited to the G&G that is
