Danny Verpaele

Are they going to redshirt him?  His injury seems to be taking a while to heal.

He's working hard to get better....these things just take time though. Can't rush an injury like that!

[Guest tulderbull]

Do not count on him last year.  He will most likely use this year to get bigger. He was going to red shirt last year until the 2 players ahead of him went down.   So expect him to redshirt get bigger and learn more. You guys have to remember before last year he hadnt played DB for 3 years so your looking at a kid who played DB as a Soph in HS then starting i D1 as a true fresh.  He needs to redshirt and will. So that is why the injury is taking so long, why rush it he knew he was going to redshirt in 2 a days Dont expect him to lose a season for 4 games.

No I think most of us at this point would rather have a healty DV for three full years starting next year. That makes the most sense at this time. We will need his experience and leadership on the defense next year.

let dv get healthy

[Guest AstroBull]

Smart decision for RS Verpaele

[bulls96go]

get better DV

you may be defending a BE crown next year

[CyberBull]

I like DV but how do you go away from kids like Carlton Williams and Louis Gachette? Those guys are playing better than DV did last year and are only going to get better.  IMO, it's a good problem to have.

Gachette is going to be good back there.  He is playing better than DV did last year, and DV was on the all Freshman CUSA team I believe.  

DV may have a hard time starting next year but that's a good problem to have.  I have my worries about defensive leadership next year, assuming St. Nick goes pro (which he will).

[___ Eats It]

Gachette is a freaking stud.  It blows my mind how good he's playing this year.  Moving him from QB to DB was the best move Leavitt's made this year, IMO.
