Leaving California, Feeling Tallahassee

No, not me.  Not anytime soon at least.  Instead, the title of this thread relates to Defensive End/Linebacker Glen Stanley.  Stanley is a top-15 JUCO recruit who had previously signed a Letter of Intent to enroll and play football at the University of Southern California (SC).  Now, however, following the recent sanctions at SC and the fact that he is enrolling as a Junior and would not be able to play in a bowl game at SC, Stanley was released from his Letter of Intent by SC and has decided to enroll at Florida State University.  In a quick post to Tomahawk Nation by Bud Elliot, Stanley was quoted as saying, "My heart is at Florida State. I have a great connection with all the coaches."  He also added, "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."

Can't really blame Stanley for leaving SC.  He came in at a tough time and being a JUCO player wouldn't have had the opportunity to play in a bowl game at all.  Of course, we here at LCFM are thrilled with his decision to bring his skill to Jimbo Fisher and Florida State.  Looking forward to seeing you in Oklahoma, Glen!  Go Noles!
