Just call us Five Star University:
With Matthew Cleveland in the bag, #FSU Hoops will be signing a 5-Star prospect in 6 of the last 7 years. The one who wasn’t, happened to be Devin Vassell. Leonard Hamilton and his staff deserve a ton of credit.

All of us here at Tomahawk Nation wish nothing but the best for the very talented Tim Linafelt in his future endeavors—whoever brings him on will be lucky to have him:
Some personal news: My position at Florida State was eliminated due to COVID-19 budget cuts. I’m sad to be leaving @Seminoles but also incredibly grateful for my six years there. I don’t yet know what’s next, but am eagerly looking forward to the next opportunity.

Our condolences to the family of Katherine Hoffman, who was a pillar in the FSU community for the better part of 88 years:
Kitty Hoffman was truly a treasure. She loved FSU and dedicated her life to supporting students. As a pioneering scholar, faculty member and dean, she will be remembered for her great intellect, grace and dignity. We will all miss her.https://t.co/iidvlfZJQK
