Football:
Commit Analysis: I know these technically belong in the Recruiting section but it just feels like talkin’ ball belongs here in the football section, where the football gods intended it. First up, CoachAB breaks down the tools and skills blue-chip QB commit Nicco Marchiol puts on display.
Then Coach makes it a twofer as he also gives us his insightful analysis of fellow 2022 commit, edge defender, and legacy Aaron Hester.
Check out Florida State’s Instagram account for looks at some new Seminoles in uniform:
Recruiting:
Official Tribe21 Recruiting thread — believe it or not, but tomorrow is the last day of Tribe21 before we officially move on to Tribe22. Such is recruiting.
With Mike Norvell and company relying heavily on the transfer portal to raise the ceiling of this team, don’t miss out on Transfer Portal talk.
Dan Mullen and the Gators doing weird things in recruiting? You don’t say:
FYI @AdreinStrickla2 DID NOT DE-COMMIT!!! UF decided 3 days before signing day to tell him they would not honor their offer even though they told him numerous times since December his offer was SOLID.... and he shut his recruiting down in June...https://t.co/GbqtqvTPrH

Other Sports:
The Men’s Basketball team dropped a smidge in the Top 25 polls.
In case you missed it, catch the great basketball podcast that previews the matchup with Boston College before the ’Noles tip off against the Eagles tonight at 9pm. Unfortunately, the game won’t be played — or the next two either — as FSU appears to be dealing with COVID issues within the program. Still check out that podcast, though.
The ACC intends to keep its schedule:
The ACC Tournament is planning to be played as scheduled in Greensboro with no amendments, per ACC Senior Commissioner Paul Brazeau.

League will have obvious protocols in place for COVID-19, but ACC is moving forward as planned with its conference tournament.
The Seminoles Baseball team returned to practice and can I just say Brett deserves a standing ovation and maybe a medal for his coverage of this team.
18 Days till FSU Baseball: As if that wasn’t enough, Nevitt continues his countdown with another preview, this time it’s pitcher Hunter Perdue.
FSU’s Track & Field team finished the Bob Pollack Invitational with a bunch of wins and some personal bests.
FSU’s Diving team finished their regular season and will compete in the ACC Championships in a few weeks.
The Women’s tennis team is ranked No. 8 and dominating, while the Men’s team is on a COVID pause.
Alumni:
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing in the Super Bowl for the first time since a ’Nole alum(s) led them to the Lombardi Trophy:
