Recruiting:
The Tomahawk Nation Recruiting thread has it all here.
Is #Tribe21 shaping up to be a good class? Which positions does Florida State look good in, and where do they need to improve? How are current events shaping the efforts of the FSU staff in landing a solid class?
2021 three-star defensive end Byron Turner from St. Augustine High offered by Florida State.
2021 three-star linebacker and former Mississippi State commit Thomas Davis also picked up an FSU offer.
2023 defensive lineman Jameian Buxton has a long way to go before he suits up on a college campus, but that hasn’t stopped him from pulling elite offers, and he added one more in FSU.
Football:
Uhh, that’s a pretty quick release (eyeball emoji):

A radical re-imagining of the college football landscape. What would you say to ten leagues with 12 teams each, with FSU having to play Georgia, UCF, and more?

Cam Akers had the longest air yard pass for any running back in the last six seasons? That’s probably enough to give Jared Goff a run for his money.
The longest in-air pass by a RB since 2014

FSU kicker Ryan Fitzgerald has a talented younger brother? You don’t say.
Got to help work the @NKR_camps this past weekend in Jacksonville. I remember it like it was yesterday when I went to my first camp with @TeamJacksonKick . It was a fun day and the #1 kicker for 2025 won the underclassmen FG comp. He just happens to be my brother too @BrettFitz88 pic.twitter.com/qBNe5ul5Re

Coach Marve is always getting after it:
Unmotivated talent means very little. Be a self starter and go chase your dreams.

Other Sports:
Florida State made the top five for elite basketball prospect Matthew Cleveland. The ’Noles will have to compete against programs like Kansas and Michigan to land him, but that’s not as crazy as it once seemed.
Dickie V was a huge fan of FSU’s last season before play was cut short:
In @theACC early news reports r the blue bloods @UNC_Basketball & @DukeMBB will have Dynamite Diaper Dandies but a word of advice for Tar Heel & Duke fans that @FSUHoops & @FSUCoachHam will be in the hunt in defending title of 2019-20.Remember the name SCOTTIE BARNES!

Nobody brings you better baseball coverage, and Tomahawk Nation’s Brett Nevitt covers FSU scouting hitting talent at the PGBA Tucci tournament.
‘22 #FSU commit @RyanDenison5 setting new personal highs every time he touches the bump. Has the chance to be a true power arm and already has some advanced pitchability as well. https://t.co/JJ3nNFnrhN

#FloridaState commit Kale Fountain (2024, NE) with a good piece of 2-strike hitting here. Short to the ball and finds a way to muscle it the other way. Pair of hits on the day now for the projectable two-way Prospect #14UMidwestWS pic.twitter.com/EB8S5fCast

Dwyane Bacon is using Michael Jordan — his boss — as inspiration. This is a good read that’s worth your time.
