Recruiting
September 1 was a day that we’ve been hearing and seeing from recruits nonstop in the leadup to the first official day that coaches could communicate with Class of 2022 prospects, and Florida State Seminoles football’s recruiting and design team went all out in throwing things together.
See all the fire (that’s what the youth say, right?) here, all complied by Josh Pick and NoleThruandThru.
Florida State didn’t stop there, sending out an offers to 2022 four-star offensive lineman Riley Quick, 2022 athlete Tyler Woodard and 2023 four-star tight end (No. 2 in the class) Pearce Spurlin III.

Blackman, head coach Mike Norvell, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Kenny Dillingham and running back Jashaun Corbin all spoke with the media yesterday — Norvell, Corbin and Dillingham all speaking on Blackman being named the starter while Corbin also addressed the feeling of getting to play again after rehabbing from injury and transferring.
We officially have a kickoff time and channel for the season opener vs. the Yellow Jackets: 3:30 p.m. kickoff on ABC.
Join @Coach_Norvell in wearing your FSU gear on Friday, September 4!

Terance Mann is putting the sacrifices being made in the bubble in perspective — truly, a selfless act giving up the joy of a double meat, half carnitas half barbacoa, guac, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, fajita veggies and medium salsa burrito bowl in order to entertain us by making ball go through hoop:

BA also reporting draft will be somewhere from 20-40 rounds in 2021. #FSU could have huge year in draft. I could potentially see up to ten guys drafted from current roster. https://t.co/vxWqiJkSDg
