Football:
The Seminoles have lost 2 players from the offensive side of the ball, as Amir Rasul and Naseir Upshur are no longer members of the Florida State football team.
Willie Taggart did not sign a high school quarterback during his first 2 recruiting cycles as the head coach at FSU. While rare, it isn’t unprecedented and wasn’t the end of the world for Arizona State when they were unable to secure a QB in 2012 and 2013, per the Tampa Bay Times.
How did Arizona State survive its recruiting drought at the game’s premier position? The Sun Devils hit on the quarterbacks they could sign. #FSU @FSUFootball @MBakerTBTimes #ASU @ASUFootball @TB_Times https://t.co/aesacRgEQT

The No. 1 ranked, and defending National Champion, Florida State softball team had an absolutely phenomenal showing at the St. Pete Clearwater Elite Invitational. The field was stacked with great teams, and yet, the ’Noles still managed to go 6-0 for the duration of the tournament.
