Daniel Glauser commits to Florida State Seminoles

Daniel Glauser, a 6'6" 315 pound offensive lineman out of New Mexito Military Institute in Roswell, has committed to the Florida State Seminoles. We first talked about Glauser in March, when he expressed interest in Florida State. Glauser also held offers from Arkansas and Oklahoma State, among others in the BCS.

"I just knew FSU was the right place for me," Glauser told Noles 247($)

Glauser is rated three-stars by most services, and will likely have two years to play two. He is originally from Switzerland. FSU experienced a lot of offensive line injuries this season (at one point, five of the top 9 were unavialable due to injury), and the resulting play hurt FSU's record.

Glauser is obviously a big body. FSU will try him out at both tackle and guard. The 'Noles don't typically take an JUCO player unless they believe he is capable of starting or providing significant depth. Glauser should be able to do that. He isn't incredibly quick (likely not enough to play left tackle), but if he is indeed able to enroll for Spring, he should be able to work on that a bit.

Our own DRUSSO was a JUCO player himself and evaluated Glauser's 2010 film (2011 unavailable at press time):

Glauser does not have the feet to play LT, but he HAS shown tremendous improvement from ‘09 to ’10, so anything is possible. Stops his feet on contact, and makes up for it with physical superiority that he won’t have at the BCS level.

-He has impressive size & athletic ability (I peg him in the 5.1 range), and the improvement shows me how coachable he is.

-Love his aggressiveness, always the 1st thing I look for in an OL. Reminds me of pre-concussions Spurlock.

-Hate that nobody has taught him how to use his hips on contact, love that he has that much raw material to work with and is coachable.

-Excellent cut blocker, which is not as easy as you might think. Launches into the defender’s legs, then rolls to finish the block.

-I like him at RT or OG. Think he could contribute immediately if he was an EE.

This is FSU's 16th commitment. The 'Noles plan to take more than twenty if everything breaks in their favor.

This is a very important

win for FSU in my opinion. Its good that we have another big body coming to play who can play immediately. Any word on Datko and gaining an 5th year of eligibility?

I don’t think anyone definitely knows on that.

To me, Glauser is a big body at this point. He has lots to work on, but the other BCS offers from teams that need tackles (OKST and ARKY) are encouraging.

Then its even better that he will

participate in spring practice, and we can mold him into a lineman that can potentially start. Regardless, its good to have some depth on an imporatant position group.

On the balance, though, he’s built offensive powerhouses out of Louisville and Arky. Not a bad track record. (As for my personal sentiment, I think he’s a complete ass, but the on-the-field resume is impressive.)

Some are just super talented

It takes time. But I still think that if krug was at Guard where he was supposed to be al season with the same people next to him. He could have been at least mostly serviceable by game 6 and getting better going into next year. He did at times show he could be ok. But always at his natural position. I think its a huge change as you say. And then to throw you to a new position with people arounf you all meeting that new speed and power for the first times makes it that much harder

They do a pretty damn good job evaluating talent and OSU wanted Glauser bad. While I like Juco OT Menalik Watson(FSU just offered) better then Glauser, I still think Glauser can add depth which we need.

Would you rather have a 18 year old to add depth next year or a 23 year old(Glauser age)?

My personal opinion

But I am tired of projects and would like for once to get someone who can at least contribute in a meaning full way. Since Trickett has been hear we have had nothing but projects (many of which did not turn out to good). While last class we recruited some studs (Matias, Hart being the only two) the rest of the guys won’t be ready for prime time till their Junior or R-Soph year. While it is natural for freshmen to take time to develop I would expect JUCO to come in a bit more ready.

In fact I officially question Trickett’s ability to evaluate JUCO because all of this JUCO linemen have been busts (with Krug having a chance to change the opinion but he is leaning to bust in my opinion).

I will submit that most of my knowledge of football deals mostly with DBs, WRs and QBs, Daniel doesn’t pass the eye ball test.

back-ups

You can’t sign only 5 star starters. If you don’t fill the roster out with 3 star backups there will be no one to step in when a 5 star goes down! Remember, there are 15 positions on the offensive line. 5 starters, 5 backups and 5 third teamers. Can’t just use the trickle down theory. If we need a thrid team RG, we go out and find one. The only way to fill out the roster with peopel who know what they signed up for and why they are here.

Its an OLine commit and a big body

And will play next year and add depth. After this year and the rash of injuries it wont hurt for sure. Its another body. And one others have evaluated and wanted as well. If we get one of the 3 remaining targets at OL we are gunning for then this is a nice addition. It is regardless. But getting nothing would be much scarier

History Channel has gotten terrible

It used to be my go to channel, nowI have to watch Ancient Aliens, Top Gear, Ice Road Truckers, SMH… I think IRT might be the worst show on TV, who watches that garbage. I do admit though i’m an avid Swamp People watcher, but thats because I live in that general area and hunt where they’re hunting. However, it is rigged and edited to the extreme.

Please, bring back the old History Channel!

I live in Metairie

Hunt in Hammond/Ponchutula where Bruce and the dog are, Houma where the natives are and Hunt a whole lot in Pointe A La Hache where Tommy and Joe are.

Happy to have another aggressive body out there (perhaps the anti-Krug?)

How does this affect us with the other lineman we are in the running for?

dunno if a medical RS would even happen

considering the age the 2011 class should be, 1 injury would likely result in a medical DQ. will be tough to play catch up with the talent level and being behind already in development.

Last year, we took a large OL class.

This year, we’re handpicking the OL that we want. Sounds to me like our staff has recognized the OL issue since before last year.

We currently have a stable of non senior DT's

With the possibility of adding the #1 DT along with other top DT’s that have already committed so I see no problem there….. Our OL this year has shown that it is not an overrated position but a position of need and a position that FSU needs more healthy bodies for if we plan on improving our running game, passing game, protection of QB’s, etc.

Didn’t know Russo played offensive line, I am going to have to pay more attention to him.
