PrintJimbo went on Mike Bianchi for nine minutes this morning to discuss the opening of Florida State Spring Practice.
Offensive Tackle News
- Florida State offered 2014 offensive tackle Austin Golson out of Prattville, Alabama. 6'5" 270 and athletic. He has the chance to be very good. Tuck that away for two years from now.
- Offensive Tackle Jessamen Dunker committed to UF. Very good player. Probably not a five star, but 6'6" 315. Wanted to play in the SEC only and didn't really consider FSU too much.
The U
- Miami's starting linebacker Ramon Buchannon has been suspended indefinitely for getting arrested. For five felonies. Including battery on a police officer. That hurts as Miami isn't exactly loaded at linebacker like they are on the offensive and defensive lines.
Pre-Snap Read: Miami's New Depth Chart
Linebacker lacks star power Buchanan’s unfortunate life choice leaves Miami without the second of two experienced hands at linebacker. Buchanan was penciled in opposite senior Sean Spence, giving Miami a pair of talented, game-tested outside linebackers. Now, since Buchanan might never return to action for the Hurricanes, Miami’s looking at inserting two relatively newcomers on the second level of the defense. The first is redshirt freshman Travis Williams, who will claim Buchanan’s outside spot while the would-be senior spends time alone in the corner. The time was coming for the well-regarded 2010 recruit, but this might be a year too early for Williams. Likewise at middle linebacker, where it will be either Kelvin Cain, who started four games in an uneven debut campaign, or sophomore James Gaines. Long story short: Miami needs all it can get from Spence, who will again be asked to be the star of the defense. He’s more than capable, if he makes similar strides to those he made a season ago – Spence reclaimed his form after an average sophomore season.
According to Miami police, Buchanan said: "I'm a UM football player and I don't give a F--- what you do. I'll get out of it."
- The 'Canes moved Eduardo Clements from running back to corner. Two things here. First, the 'Canes corner situation is a disaster thanks to graduation. Second, Clements was considered by many to be a better corner than a running back.
- Miami listed Jacory Harris as its starting QB in the latest depth chart.

4. Defensive End The Hokies will have to replace both starting defensive ends for the second consecutive year. Last year, they lost two starters due to graduation and early entry in the draft. This year, it's graduation and a position change. Chris Drager, who was arguably Tech's most consistent pass rusher last year, had been moved back to tight end, which is depleted after the departure of Andre Smith. Fortunately for the Hokies, they aren't completely bereft of talent at end. J.R. Collins and James Gayle both played well as freshmen last year and will be joined by redshirt freshmen Zack McCray and Duan Perez-Means. All are still very young and how they perform in the spring will go a long way to alleviating any concerns fans have about what is probably the most important position to what Tech tries to do on defense.
Interesting note on BC's offensive line.

of all the shows... Bianchi.
I have built up so much anger towards his ‘writing’ that I’m not sure I can listen to his voice. I’m going to have to really pump myself up to listen to this.
Oh Miami. U so krazy.
Bianchi is not good as a radio host
I don’t mind his writing because his schtick is to flame.

I believe Austin Golson is class of 2013

Bianchi really does suck
Who the hell cares about whether Meyer is going to come out of retirement…What a horrible set of questions.

Yeah, I think you either take an OL and move him outside, or go looking for a big kid that can walk on.
Weird priorities there, unless those young DEs are serious talents. Can’t spare talent at DE.
Florida State offered 2014 offensive tackle Austin Golson out of Prattville, Alabama. 6’5" 270 and athletic. He has the chance to be very good. Tuck that away for two years from now.
So this is kid is, what, 14? 15 right now? A monster.

Thats makes him a freshman?
Thats a big boy if so
I hope we can get Golston out of Prattville.
I wonder how much Auburn’s recent series of unfortunate events will help us.

Didn't Buchanan commit at one time to UF?
Kid really made a mistake. If he goes there, then he gets to tell the cops, “I play for UF, I’ll get out of it” and it means something.
But down there? They just aren’t quite as important big fella….sorry about that.

Spence was always committed to Miami.
Buchanon was with Miami, switched to UF, then switched back to Miami on NSD.

Regarding Mario Edwards Jr.
Based on size and athleticism, is Mario Williams a potential analog? For some reason, I want to say Bowers and Williams are different in skillsets.
What are you glorifying with your life?
I'm a Texans fan (unfortunately)
Mario Williams is a beast against the run and he’s a pretty decent pass rusher. His problem is that he has never really developed any pass rushing moves except the bull rush. He’ll be an end in our new 3-4, and I actually think he may be more effective there than at 4-3 end (where he was still very good). When I saw the Edwards film, Williams was the first person I thought of.
From what I can remember, Bowers is 15-20 pounds lighter and 2-3 inches shorter than MW. I think Edwards’ body more closely resembles Williams than Bowers. I think he can be dominant if he has a good motor (which Williams often lacks), even if he doesn’t turn out to be quite as athletic as Williams is.

Mario Williams is 6'7". MEJ is pushing 6'4" and unlikely to grow another 2-3 inches.
I’d say he’s more like Kevin Carter or Vonnie Holliday. 6’5"/295 pro potential.
Will probably be drafted as a 5-tech assuming this 3-4 trend lasts…

Williams is usually listed as 6'6"
but he was listed as 6’7" at the combine, so I guess that’s right. It’s just very hard to find a physical comparison to Williams. 4.66 forty at almost 300 pounds is pretty sick.
I think Edwards will be closer to Williams than Bowers, but Kevin Carter is a really good comparison.
by TonySopraNOLE on Mar 22, 2011 11:36 PM EDT up reply actions
Carter was 6'7"
Was recruited to Florida as a LB. Came out of high school at 6’2" or 6’3", 220-230 and just kept growing all through college.

He looks like one of the "skinnies" from Blackhawk Down.
I hope he’s the best QB they have next season. Chalk up a “W” for the ’Noles if so.

Battery
Assault is attempted harm and battery is successful harm, right? Like, he actually landed some hits on a cop? What an idiot.
"Yes, we won a national championship." — Fisher on if he had ever had a top ranked class before.
"Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer" is an enhancement charge, just like resisting arrest with or without violence.
Suspect almost NEVER actually swing & connect with a cop. When they DO….they go to the hospital. It can be something as simple as poking a cop or touching their uniform.

Watching 5 cops pile on and beat the crap out a 5’9" 170 kid for talking back and possibly touching one slightly during mardi gras taught me all I need to know about giving cops their space.

According to Miami police, Buchanan said: "I'm a UM football player and I don't give a F--- what you do. I'll get out of it."

He speaks as though
UM has a Huntley whatever his name is on retainer at the special team, “reduce the charge or get pre-trial intervention so that the kid can get back on the field, inside criminal defense”, position. The gators are the only team in the country that have recruited that position and filled it with a five star recruit.
Ok, we've teased everyone enough
For maximum enjoyment, they need to go read the police report for themselves to see just how badly the drunk Buchanan acquitted himself.
