PrintReleased from his letter of intent to USC, defensive end/ linebacker Glen Stanley has chosen Florida State. The top-15 JUCO recruit is eligible to play immediately. Joe Schad is confirming what most following the situation have felt all along.
Glen Stanley said: ""My heart is at Florida State. I have a great connection with all the coaches."
Stanley said: "It was tough to leave USC because I liked the coaching staff but I want to play for a championship and play in a bowl game."
We first broke the Stanley news here and you can read all about his saga and view his highlights at the link. This is a big pickup for the 'Noles and Stanley will help provide extra defensive depth at defensive end and rush linebacker.

How big is he?
And what will he be expected to play at after spending a bit of time in our S&C program?
Team Gold - Winner of the 1st TN FSU Spring Football Fantasy Draft
from earlier article
Let’s start with some background on Glen Stanley. Stanley was a top-15 JUCO recruit this cycle. He would likely play defensive end for the ‘Noles and essentially give Brandon Jenkins a running mate at WDE. He is either 6’2" or 6’3" and somewhere between 235 and 245 lbs. He is rumored to run a 4.42 40-yard dash, and while that number is certainly inaccurate, he is a tremendously fast edge rusher.
He won’t gain much weight this off-season due to his late start, but he is big enough to contribute immediately at either WDE or LB. I think he has 2 years to play 2, so I assume the goal for him is to be around 265-270 next year with losing much speed/quickness. That would give him a serious shot at getting drafted just off of measurables.

he doesn't have the frame to be that big
I bet he is 235 right now.
This team will improve in '10... on its 16-16 conference record over the last 4 years.... after losing 20 games in the last 4 years... after having the 7th worst major-conference defense... after not even winning its own division in the ACC in the last 4.

so do you think we'll have him at backer, especially after the Carr situation?
I’m not really looking forward to playing defensive ends that are lighter than our linebackers.
by freshcollegeboy on Jul 30, 2010 12:47 PM EDT up reply actions
He would be an edge rushing specialist.
3rd and long, 2nd and very long. A player of his size can be very effective in that role — see Lawrence Timmons as a junior. Similarly sized, explosive athlete.
As a footnote, I think size at one position can often be sacrificed; it is the across the board diminutive nature that gets you into trouble. We are getting closer to have enough size at other DL/LB positions that an occasioanl pipsqueak — with the right skillset — can be used to our advantage.
Good point, arrdub
One reason why if FSU took R. Williams, I wouldn’t have minded. One guy a shade lighter than the rest probably won’t kill you, especially if he does something else particularly well.
In retrospect, it’s kinda like dating a fat girl.

255
I don’t know if it is all good weight though.
Highly doubtful imo.
Because no way he’s close to 255 in his juco film.

He has a month to get whipped into shape. I think our improved S&C program is up to the job.

Great news
I really think this is great news, especially to get a more mature guy at a position of need. Even if he is a little undersized right now. We need a number of guys so we can rotate in fresh bodies.
I also like the fact that recruits, right or wrong, perceive that we are headed towards a championship soon. This is some Kool-Ade!
We would probably have had a top 5 2010 class per ESPN with this addition.
I’m excited to get Stanley! Dend is the one position I felt we missed at. Bah LSU & Auburn! Although I like the Germanator and Darious a lot too.
GO NOLES!!! SCALP EM!
I hope bjoern has a better career than Constantine Ritzmann though.
Not that Ritzmann was bad, but I don’t think you could say he was great with a straight face.

I know some people dont think Werner will slide inside but i think he could provide quality depth in case
of an injury.
......and let the paramedics sort 'em out!
I'm drawing a blank on who we lost to LSU.

Love this news
Nice addition, UHaul to Tally quickly.
I'm gonna laugh when Kiffin cleans up the program and wins a MNC after probation is over.

If you go to a USC site
they think they’ll win one while ON probation.

IMO USC should never be left out of the title discussion.
They rake in talent every year, they play in a pitiful conference. Seems like they just drop a game annually to a crap PAC 10 (12) team, and that keeps them out of the hunt.
However, with the great exodus, that obviously will probably change.

USC is down to 70 scholarship players RIGHT NOW
What will they look like AFTER 3 seasons of scholarship reductions/player defections??
My guess is a LOT closer to San Diego State then 2005 USC.
Oderint Dum Metuant
They should be left out for the next 6 years imo.
They signed 20 in 2010 and at least 2 have already left. They’ve already had several upperclassmen leave the program. And then they can only sign 15 for the next 3 years?
I mean, I read something that said USC only has 7 or 8 LB on scholarship for THIS year.

---------------------------------------------------------
"Trick is right."
"Wherever you are, Trick, you are wise, indeed."

At LEAST
Down this year, plus 3 more seasons of additional crippling scholarship limits, means it will take that much longer to rebuild the talent & depth necessary to be what they used to be.
Unless they have a Butch Davis-type running the program to pack crazy talent into a school recovering from probation…..they are looking at 6-10 years of shitty play (by comparison). Every year they are down makes it that much harder to climb out of the hole….and the rest of the Pac-10(12) will benefit.
Lane Kiffen’s recruiting lies pitches won’t be nearly as appealing in the midst of 4, 5, 6, 7 loss seasons.

Let's get to the serious issue...
If I create Stanley on NCAA 11, where do I put him? DE? OLB? That’s the question every wants/needs answered.
I'm thinking LB
A little nervous at the thought of him lining up at DE… seems too small?
Where's Dan Kendra when you need him?
It's not like he can be worse than the current crop of DE's on the game for FSU 2010.
They’re TURRIBLE
Formerly known as Randall W. Spetman
Outstanding
Really happy we got him – wish he’d come a little earlier but obviously not his fault. Serendipitous timing with Carr’s likely departure.
Where's Dan Kendra when you need him?
No doubt in my mind that this means Carr is off to N AL or some other place here shortly.
Ameica, Land of the free and home to the entitled.
Stanley was headed to FSU before any of that happened
just a matter of securing a release

Do anybody know or where I can find info on
Whats up with Damien Jacobs and Cameron Erving?
FEAR THE SPEAR!!!!!!!!!
IDK about being on campus...
I thought at one point Damien Jacobs, was having issues getting here when everyone else reported, something about his school ending late…….and I also noticed in other threads that they are never listed in with projected depth charts.
FEAR THE SPEAR!!!!!!!!!
When I say "projected depth chart"
Here’s an example…
Or put another way. Here’s what I see for 2011
Strong-Side Defensive End
58 Dan Hicks 6-4, 260, R-So.
95 Bjoern Werner 6-4, 295, So.
94 Darious Cummings, 6-3, 285, So
Weak-Side Defensive End
49 Brandon Jenkins 6-3, 255, Jr.
96 Toshmon Stevens 6-5, 250, R-Jr.
Glen Stanley 6-3 250 R-Sr.
Defensive Tackle (not Nose Guard)
93 Everett Dawkins 6-2, 285, R-Jr.
97 Demonte McAllister 6-2, 290, R-So.
94 Darious Cummings, 6-3, 275, So.
Nose Guard & Defensive Tackle
99 Jacobbi McDaniel 6-0, 300, Jr.
91 Anthony McCloud 6-2, 310, R-Jr.
90 Moses McCray 6-2, 310, Sr.
Weak-Side Linebacker
7 Christian Jones 6-3 240, So.
57 Holmes Onwukaife 6-3 245, R-Fr.
Middle Linebacker
48 Jeff Luc 6-0, 250, So.
11 Vince Williams 6-0, 252, R-Jr.
Strong-Side Linebacker
11 Vince Williams 6-0, 252, R-Jr.
22 Telvin Smith 6-3 220, So.
43 Nigel Terrell 6-2 230, So.
This team will improve in ’10… on its 16-16 conference record over the last 4 years…. after losing 20 games in the last 4 years… after having the 7th worst major-conference defense… after not even winning its own division in the ACC in the last 4.

You thinking Bradham will leave early for the NFL? He’s a Jr for the 2010 season correct?
by RoyalOaksNole on Jul 31, 2010 12:37 AM EDT up reply actions
Yeah
Bud said he will be gone but after this coming year. Play the 2010 year then leave after his junior year before his senior.

by onebarrelrum on Jul 31, 2010 1:34 AM EDT up reply actions
Almost too much to fathom
We are already stacked at linebacker with Luc, Bradham, and Jones. Can you imagine Bradham staying for his senior year and adding Steward to that list?
GO NOLES! GO EAGLES!
I think he will play LB in some 3-4 formation and speed rush/blitzing plays
Mainly on the End though imo.
What do you think Bud?
GO NOLES!!! SCALP EM!
Nice
And considering what Carr got himself into, might find himself playing fairly quickly.
He bleeds Garnet and Gold, She bleeds Crimson and White. AND THEY BOTH HATE ORANGE! GO NOLES!! ROLL TIDE!!

Let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet....
Fresh off my award-winning analysis of his JuCo film (:modesty), allow me to offer my take:
Right now, he is behind. WAYYYYYyyyyyy behind, in every way you can imagine. S&C, environment, scheme, technique (of which he has virtually none), etc.
Right now he is a 3rd-team WDE…..but one with A LOT of upside who will be expected to rise up the depth chart & get meaningful snaps fairly soon. If he is coming here wanting to learn & bust his ass, I would not be surprised to see him provide 15-20 quality snaps/game on defense as well as kick coverage ST units. I see no reason why this would not be the case, or Jimbo would not have offered him.
I would “guestimate” him to be in the 230’s right now, with an outside chance of playing @ 240. Figure a solid offseason leaves him @ 250/255 range for 2011 with a solid shot at starting when Markus leaves.
Expectations for this season should be fairly low. Anything he provides should be viewed as a bonus….I myself would be ecstatic if he posts 4 sacks and a half-dozen QB pressures.
Oderint Dum Metuant
Seeing as how that would about double the production of the entire D-Line last year,
I’d be pretty happy with those numbers from a backup myself.

I don't think anyone is expecting this kid to come in and claim a starting spot right away
I’ll be thrilled if he’s getting meaningful snaps and making a difference by late October.

I think OU wins 8 out of 10 times.
With last year’s coaching staff….OU wins 13 out of 10.
Oderint Dum Metuant
Perhaps, you could give the pep talk before the game.
Truth be told, OU will probably win this game, but that’s only because it’s being played there and early in the season. Their team is not much better than ours, if at all. Ask BYU.
by TEMPORARY LIKE ACHILLES on Jul 31, 2010 10:04 PM EDT up reply actions
BYU that put up nearly 500 yards of offense and like 9 yards per play?

9 or 10 redshirt seniors
to our 4, not to mention more depth and tons of talented players that have been in the same system their whole college careers. BYU could have won that game if not for a few fortunate plays including a pick for a TD that should have been called back for PI…BYU had almost the same amount of yards as FSU with a lot less plays…you know what I’ll look up the numbers for you…
TOP FSU: 39:51 and BYU 20:09 So half the possession time with about 45 less yards than FSU. 10.7 y/pass for BYU. It is a good thing they couldn’t stop FSU’s offense. How much you want to bet OU’s defense is worlds better than BYU’s?
Not an alcoholic, just an FSU grad.
It wouldn't be a hard pre-game speech.
Nationally televised game, ZERO pressure due to the fact that you are a 2-score underdogs, hostile environment………………JUST GO FUCKIN PLAY
Oderint Dum Metuant
He will contribute somewhere
Whether it’s backup DE, LB, special teams. Another great pickup from the new staff. It is amazing to see the transformation of the Seminoles in such a short amount of time. Jimbo and co. have made it cool to be a Florida State Seminole again. Stanley becomes another piece of the puzzle in their rise back to a consistant national title contender. FSU is where my “heart” is too…. Welcome to the family, Mr. Stanley!
by NoleySmokes on Jul 31, 2010 8:32 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
Maybe 3 sacks and 12 or QB pressures this season....
is all you can expect….Im happy he is here at FSU. Next year after a year in the program, he can be more of an impact, maybe NFL pick. If he can get to 250-255 and maintain that burst off the line…whoa

Dinich said, in her ESPN chat that there may be an issue with Stanley getting cleared
now, I take everything she says with a grain of salt, but she said she was hearing it from other ESPN people, any thing to this or to be concerned with?
