Football:
The first thing Mike Norvell likes about 2024? The team speed that was on display despite it being a heavy installation day.
Mission Takeaway has resumed, yesterday’s leader? Conrad Hussey:
It’s Pro-Day in Tallahassee as the future pros take the field with numerous NFL scouts in attendance; this week many hit the podium to express what Florida State means to them:
In case you missed it; here’s our take on what Clemson’s lawsuit means to the ACC and to Florida State.
Day 2 was a physical day as the shells came on in spring practice:
The two best QBs in the sunshine state this year just came from out out state.
2. DJ Uiagalelei, Florida State: The former Oregon State and Clemson starter (42 games) feels like a good fit for Mike Norvell’s offense. The one-time five-star recruit is a dynamic dual threat (8,319 career passing yards, 57 TDs; 1,132 rushing yards, 21 TDs) who has completed 59.1 percent of his career attempts. He just doesn’t have the same proven weapons Jordan Travis had around him a season ago.
Florida State makes a 2024 run in the march madness style bracket what-if; a fun thought experiment that I hope never actually reaches reality. I already think 12 teams is too much.
Recruiting:
Four-star OT Ziyare Addison is high on Florida State:
Florida State: “It’s a school that took an opportunity on me early. They took an opportunity at a kid out of a kid that bust his butt at a camp. But he was only 6-foot-3, 240 pounds. Now I’m 6-foot-5, 280 pounds and still have the same athleticism I had when I was at 240, maybe I’m even more athletic than where I was before. That relationship has always been building. They told me: ‘We coming.’ They were on the rise, they are one of the best football programs in the country. Norvell signed an 8- or 10-year deal and that really intrigued me. That tells me the coaching staff is not going anywhere and I will get the best development and best treatment from the program.”
