Albany DE Jared Verse (transfer - FSU commit)

[Jackcrevol]

have a bad feeling about transfers this year

 

[InVOLuntary]

FSU ain’t got the $$$$’s. Anyone who thinks they do is incorrect…..

Oh they've got money enough to buy a player or two. I agree they're not on the same level as TAMU, GA, or Alabama, but they've got boosters with money. I just don't think Tennessee wants to play the game.

 

[InVOLuntary]

There is no chance that FSU is ahead of us on NIL. Their admin is currently a s**tshow. Even when not, they definitely are not in the same ballpark as teams like TAMU. Not that we are either, but Verse didn't go to FSU because of better NIL opportunity.

Ok.

Not sure anyone was gonna fork out big cash for a dude from Albany. My $.02

Heupel needs players. He’s got to sort this recruiting thing out.

Other schools are weaponizing the looming NCAA investigation and possible sanctions against us effectively.
A situation which should have been resolved at this point in my thinking.
It is a terrible disadvantage to us in recruiting.

NIL deals are going to about anyone with a pulse. Some are just more lucrative than others. Even at Tennessee.

Y’all do realize that FSU fans are probably feasting on the disappointment on here, like we do when we win one. They won this ONE. , on to the next one. It’s early in the portal season.

Just think the kid liked Florida period. Don’t get me wrong I think UT impressed him but he visited on a cold Dec weekend. If you grow up in a small Pa town and went to college at Albany freezing your ass off every winter Florida is hard to beat.

When I think of FSU.. I think of luke warm milk. There’s nothing appealing about that program under Mike Norvell. That’s my biased opinion, anyway.

I’ll take the West victory anytime.

Two schools I hate hearing that we are going head to head with for a recruit.
FSU and Auburn.
Seems like we never win those.

 

[GVol1966]

He literally just told us Baron was staying hours before anyone else did. He might not be as clueless as you think.

He only knows things when he tells good news, LOL

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Very, very disappointing

Yep. Big miss here

 

[therickbol]

Our D line will be so bad next year once again. We needed this one bad

This recruit made the difference.... even though we got 3 stud DL in our incoming class along with a few good returning DL. Riiiiight

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

100% why Baron came back

Baron is moving inside, still need an edge rusher

We can agree to disagree, but what would possibly lead you to believe that UT doesn't want to play the NIL game but somehow FSU does? And what evidence is there that they have boosters with money? They have one of the lowest donation rates per enrollment of all public universities. If they have money boosters, why has it been so hard to raise money for stadium renos and facility upgrades? They are a decade behind us in infrastructure.

Need Pearce or Josephs to be good immediately

 

[Orange.]

merde.

 

[1world1love]

The last thing I'll say on this is that I wish him the best, but I'd rather start every single day by getting kicked in the groin than to live in Tallahassee Florida. That place is a terrible.

Honestly, if Pearce can go from his current 220 pounds to 235 ish by September that dude is gonna be an influence next year

Gotta think a good player or three pop up over the next few months.You prob know better than I would who that might be,if anyone.Verse was big miss for sure like u said gonna need some guys to step up.

They’ll take time to develop. This guy was going to be an immediate impact.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Hopefully we have Derek Barnett 2.0 coming in next class, he was a force year 1

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
