He’s moved up his commitment date from August to May 17, and though he named Clemson his No. 1 school in February, he seemingly had a great time in Tallahassee.
Football:
It’s refreshing to know that Chris Weinke is as stubborn as your average Florida State fan:
#Vols QBs coach and former FSU Heisman-winning QB Chris Weinke: When they brought back the ’98 championship team here last year, I asked Coach Fulmer when I was gonna get my ring, because if I’d played that game, Tennessee wouldn’t have won.

Re-watching Malik Beasley's game at Utah has led me to this: I think it was his best offensive game as a Nugget. He's scored more. But this was a nuanced & smart. He got to his spots, didn't get sped up, didn't allow Utah to dictate his shots, didn't settle for just 3s. Well done
