Re: FSU: The Rebuild and "the Return" (NCAA 2019 Dynasty)
OFF-SEASON  The beginning of year 2031 and Year 4 at Florida State begins. COACHING CHANGES A number of coaching changes have taken place this offseason so far for the Florida State staff. For the last 3 years, Head Coach Cameel Verner, Sr has had the luxury of a low turnover rate for his staff. However, this year there will be some shakeups in that aspect. Three Head Coaches have taken different roles elsewhere throughout the country. Offensive Coordinator/Running Backs Coach Rich Rodriguez Rich Rod has left the FSU Coaching Staff after serving for 3 seasons as the OC/RB Coach for the Noles. Rich Rod will now be serving as Head Coach for another ACC foe, UNC Tarheels. Tar Heels cam off a 6-7 season last year and let go of Head Coach Mark Finkel. Rich Rod was a huge reason of the explosiveness of FSU the past few seasons. Offensive Line Coach Dan Rouchar The highly touted Offensive Line coach is heading back to the NFL as he has signed to be the Offensive Line Coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dan who was one of the best OL minds in football, never could seem to get FSU OL to play at a dominant pace as expected, but they did play well enough to win two National Championships under his belt. The NFL seems more fitting for his style than the collegiate level however. We will have to wait and see who his replacements are to determine the impact of this departure. Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers Coach Mike Singletary One unit that played outstanding was the Defense as well as the Linebacker corps. Singletary had a lot to do with how well this unit played and losing him could very well be Coach Verner's biggest loss thus far. Singletary leaves the Seminoles and will head back to the NFL with the San Diego Chargers as a Defensive Coordinator there. COACHING HIRES  Tommy Bowden who served as Co-OC for FSU the past 3 years will now be the Offensive Coordinator and Quarterbacks coach for the Seminoles. Former FSU Running Back Greg Jones will serve as Running Backs Coach for Florida State after the departure of Rich Rodriguez. Harry Hiestand will serve as the new Offensive Line Coach for FSU after being with Notre Dame for the last 5 years. Heistand has been back and forth from the NFL and College for the past 30 years. Mostly with Illinois, Notre Dame, and the Chicago Bears. Hiestand brings in years of experience in both realms of both the pro and college level. Tim Beckman will serve as the new DC for Florida State. Beckman's last coaching stint was with North Dakota State for the last 10 years. Prior to that he was the Head Coach at Illinois. While coaching at the FBS level he finished 55-74 before going to NDSU where he had success for years there winning 1 FCS National Title. He's been away from major power 5 programs for a while, and he has huge shoes to fill with the departure of Mike Singletary. Players Leaving OFFENSE While the bulk of Florida State's class will remain in tact, there is sure to be some attrition due to the level of talent FSU has recruited the last few years. Here we take a look at some of the players that are leaving the program. Junior RB Kartrelle Gaither (6'1", 230): Declaring The Junior Running Back had two outstanding seasons behind a struggling offensive line before he saw his numbers take a dramatic dip this season. He has two seasons over 1,000 yards his freshman and sophmore year (1,015 Freshman year, and 1,134 Sophomore year), however he failed to crack the 500 yard mark his Junior year only averaging 3.3 yards per carry. Most scouts feel that he is a great NFL Back, his numbers dipped due to his style transitioning from the style of FSU's offense. Most believe he will be a late round pick. Senior ATH Carmelo Clancy (5'11", 205) Carmelo Clancy aka the swiss army knife as Coach Verner liked to phrase him had a big year last year as a Junior for FSU after transferring in from Georgia Tech. His Junior season he finished with 38 carries for 600 yards and 4 TDs. His Senior season wasnt as star studded as he was suspended early in the season last year, and due to the depth of talent at WR he seemed to get lost in the shuffle after he was eligible to return. Redshirt Sophomore OL Marcus Lamb (6'2", 300): Transfer Portal(UAB) The 3rd year Sophmore started all 15 games as a Redshirt Freshman, and saw no action as a Redshirt Sophomore. His decision to transfer comes as no surprise given the lack of playing time. Redshirt Sophomore OL Kevin Lewis (6'8", 320) Transfer Portal (UAB) The 3rd year Sophomore from Brewton,AL will transfer closer to home, and also with teammate Marcus Lamb. Brewton started sparingly his first season at FSU and didnt see much time at all this past season. Ironically, FSU has lost two players at a position of need, but UAB has stocked up nicely on plug and play players who can give immediate help in Conference USA. Redshirt Sophomore OL Alex Benson (6'4" 340) Transfer Portal (Rice) Alex Benson played alot fo the Noles switching from starter to reserve alot. However even though he was very much in the rotation, he has decided to finish his eligibility at Rice. Junior Shelvin Borker (6'5", 332): Declaring The Junior from Belvedere Park, GA was one of the more consistent Offensive Lineman FSU had this season. However, with that being said his declaration came as a surprise. The OL unit was definitely a weakness this year for the Noles and even though Borker was the highest rated lineman for FSU, him deciding to leave was a head scratcher. DEFENSE Senior LB Rashad McCullough (6'4", 242) The Transfer from Georgia Tech served as an immediate help at the Linebacker position for FSU. His two seasons at FSU he was amongst the team leader in tackles tallying over 200 for his career and finally lived up to his Five-Star billing out of High School after having a struggling start to his career at Georgia Tech. McCullough is a prototypical Mike linebacker, however struggled in the passing game. He's projected as a mid to late round selection. Senior DB Jermaine Scales (6'0" 186): Graduation The Senior DB was a reserve the majority of his career and will graduate from FSU. Redshirt Sophomore DE Sharaad Bonner (6'4", 290) Bonner was a two year starter for FSU and was the perfect DE for the odd front Defense that Coach Verner implemented from Georgia Tech when he arrived. He had strong production from that DE spot registering 12 sacks and 65 tackles. Redshirt Junior DT Sheldon Irby (6'4", 328) Grad Transfer: Florida Atlantic The Englewood, FL native has graduated from FSU and will finish his career at Florida Atlantic. Junior DB Detaro Levine 6'0" 200: Declaring The former IMG Academy star was a 3 year starter and one of the few prized recruits Verner was able to land his first season as Head Coach and his career was nothing short but spectacular. He started his first two seasons at Cornerback leading the team in interceptions, and then moved to Free Safety last season that allowed FSU to play a lot more man to man coverage and match up zones due to his coverage ability. His ability to play the run and blanket opposing receivers, as well as being able to play and position in the Defensive Backfield has scouts excited about his ability. Levine is expected to be an early round pick. Junior DE/LB Aransu Seay (6'6", 262): Declaring The former high Four-Star recruit had a steadfast first two years before exploding last season. He also had to transition from being a hand in the dirt DE to a stand up OLB/DE Hybrid. That transition has added value to his draftstock as he is considered a versatile defender. He currently has a mid round draft grade. Redshirt Sophmore LB Luke Tillman (6'2", 250) : Transfer Portal(Tulane) Tillman hasnt played much in his career thus far at FSU and has now decided to finish up his playing career at Tulane. Redshirt Junior DB Tyler Gardner (6'0", 200)Grad Transfer: South Florida Gardner was a former four-star recruit who played a lot his first year at FSU and then his playing time seemed to take a dramatic hit. However he was a force on special teams throughout his career. But his lack of playing time may have been a big factor on him finishing his college career at South Florida. Junior DB Donovan Leonard (5'11" , 200): Transfer Portal(Maryland) The Washington,DC product played sparingly throughout his career at FSU and will decide to finish his playing career closer to home at Maryland.  6 Noles were invited to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. Here are the Combine results. Junior RB Kartrelle Gaither (6'1", 227) 40 Time:4.55(5th best for RBs) Vertical:36 Inches Bench Press: 18 reps Overall Impression: Gaither did himself wonders with the combine. He showed off athletic ability to go with his 227 pound frame and his 40 time for 4.55 helps a ton for a big running back. Due to a lackluster Junior season, his combine performance may have helped his draft stock tremendously. Junior OG Shelvin Borker (6'5", 334) 40 Time:5.21 Vertical:27 Inches Bench Press: 27 reps Overall Impression: Borker was a headscratcher on decided to opt early for the draft. His Combine numbers represent his production at FSU. they dont pop out at you but they are steady numbers that you look for in a lineman. Junior DE/OLB Aransu Seay (6'6", 257) 40 Time:4.83 Vertical:38 Inches Bench Press: 24 reps Overall Impression: Aransu Seay had a very strong Junior season. But his 40 time may have had teams move away from him being an OLB at this level. His performance at the combine may have restricted him to being a hand in the dirt 4-3 DL at the next level. But at the same token, film doesnt lie and his Junior tape will definitely pop out to scouts. Junior DB Detaro Levine (6'0", 203) 40 Time:4.41(4th best for CBs) Vertical:40 Inches Bench Press: 16 reps Overall Impression: Levine's stock has risen tremendously. His versatility had GMs ready to sign checks, however his performance at the combine warrants bigger checks. He worked out at Corner and Safety and excelled in both. He has perfect size and on tape is not afraid to support the run at either position.He is one to really watch on draft day. Redshirt Sophomore DE Sharaad Bonner (6'4", 285) 40 Time:4.77 Vertical:29 Inches Bench Press: 28 reps Overall Impression: Bonner running a 4.7 was one of the best things that could improve his stock. GMs wanted to know if he was a 3-4 DE or a DT in a 4-3 defense. He honestly would be good in either defense. He displayed a great 40 time for someone over 280 pounds, had the 4th best cone drill of the Defensive Lineman, his athletic ability is off the charts. Senior Rashad McCullough (6'4", 235) 40 Time:4.65 Vertical:31 Inches Bench Press: 22 reps Overall Impression: McCullough on film everyone notices hes a tackline machine. But scouts really wanted to know how athletic he was and if he could improve in pass coverage. During the weekend McCullough did just enough to impress scouts in his improvement in that area. He played at 245 this season at FSU so the drop in 10 pounds may have helped him in that area. Running a 4.65 also helped his stock as well. He is one to watch for during the draft.  CB Detaro Levine - 1st Round, 29th Pick to Minnesota Vikings DE Sharaad Bonner- 3rd Round, 18th Pick to L.A. Rams DE Aransu Seay-4th Round, 12th Pick to Chicago Bears LB Rashad McCullough- 4th Round, 21st Pick to San Francisco 49ers RB Kartrelle Gaither- 5th Round, 15th Pick to Houston Texans OG Shelvin Borker- 7th Round, 4th Pick to Kansas City Chiefs Other Pro Signings of Note WR Carmelo Clancy signs with the Houston Roughnecks of the XFL.

Re: FSU: The Rebuild and "the Return" (NCAA 2019 Dynasty)
 The off-season continues for Florida State as they attempt to complete their strong recruiting class this season. Right now FSU sits at #1 in the recruiting rankings with Georgia Tech right behind at #2. Here we take a look at FSU's current class, and who they have left on their radar.  CURRENT RECRUITING CLASS WR JaChristian Anderson  6’6” 215 Pensacola, FL T Blaine Bonner  6’7” 312 Anadarko, OKS Blake Boyson  6’1” 210 Ft. Elmwood Park, NJDE Alaadin Bouye 6’6” 245 Houma, LADE Bakari Brazille 6’6” 308 Americus, GA DE Shawn Ray Butler 6’4” 260 Montgomery, ALDT Jevar Creysac 6’5” 290 Miami, FL T Synnquan Evans 6’7” 300 Cartersville, GA DT Suri French 6’2” 322 Deefield Beach, FLATH David Grier 6’4” 208 Ft. Walton Beach, FLCB Eric Igwe 6’2” 205 Monessen, PARB Kenterrick Shaw 6’2” 215 Clearwater, FL S Ra'shod Titus 6’4” 205 Jacksonville,FLQB Sha'dar Walker 6’2” 223 Carol City, FL REMAINING TARGETS DE Mookie Maracle 6’3” 270 Panama City, FL #12 DE , #30 Overall Why I want: Mookie is an intruiging player. He has the size we want for an interior DE, however, he plays a lot faster than most DEs for his size. He doesnt have the lateral quickness to play Spud or Bandit, but he isnt a one trick pony DE either. He plays the run and pass extremely well. The Plan: He literally can be an every down DE. He isnt a situational player. He fits the system well and can do a lot of things for us on the front line. DT Chris Hawkins 6’5” 336 Savannah,GA#21 DT, #431 Overall Why I want: Another option at NT. Big bodied big framed guy who can probbably help us on the interior. The Plan: at almost 340 pounds he is a perfect fit for us at Nose Tackle. S Jamar Sykes 6’1” 215 Daytona Beach, FL#2 DB, #60 Overall Why I want: Sykes is a big hitting safety that brings attitude to any defense. He roams, can cover and brings a punch on his hits. The Plan: Sykes could move to LB or play in the secondary if we are able to sign him. CB Micheal Harwell 5’10” 165 San Clemente, CA#67 CB, #633 Overall Why I want: He's a kid whos film was sent in late. Has tools to be a very good Nickel DB. The Plan:Hawk or Ace position seems to be a great fit WR Gerald Hemphill 6’4” 205 Mountain Park,GA#204 WR, #--- Overall Why I want: FSU is pretty much loaded at this position for the forseeable future. But this kids film has jumped out and is a freak of nature of an athlete. Could very well be listed as an athlete because he can play multiple positions. The Plan: Get him signed. His athletic ability is through the roof. DT Ala Hali'a'aloha 6’3” 270 Westminister, CA#29 DT, #496 Overall Why I want: He;s a guy that was brought on the radar by the new Offensive Line coach Harry Hiestand. Heistand thinks his potential is through the roof on the Offensive Line. The Plan: If we can land him will be placed on the Offensive Line at possibly guard WR Chris Sanders 6’2” 180 Troy, AL#88 WR, #--- Overall Why I want: Tim Beckman's gave us info on this guy and Beckman would like him as a Corner in this defense. Vastly underrated and hasnt gone to any camps. The Plan: Would be initially used at one of the Corner positions. WR T.J. Thomas 6’4” 230 Mercedes, TX#68 WR, #420 Overall Why I want: A special offer by the Head Coach Cameel Verner. It's pretty late in the recruiting process for this offer as all signs point to him heading to TCU, but Verner feels its worth the risk. He's a 4.43 guy with a 42 inch vertical albeit only being a 3 star recruit. The WR position is stacked but when athleticsm like this is available, its hard to turn down. The Plan: Get him signed. |
