Recruiting
Legacy blue-chip offensive line prospect Julian Armella released his top 4 schools Monday night, and the Florida State Seminoles are squarely in the mix.
Speaking of Armella, the hype train conductor included him in his most recent Florida State mock class for #Tribe22. Who else made the cut?
And a new recruiting thread is out, where you can get all the latest updates and pepper us with questions:

Football
A win over the Florida Gators this weekend would be big in more ways than one:
FSU wins at BC...that’s 5 wins for the Noles. A victory against Florida next week, and FSU can become the first team since 1986 to start 0-4 and qualify for a bowl game.
— Mark Packer (@MarkPacker) November 20, 2021
Do you agree with Andrea?
Ladies and gentlemen, the most stable P5 program in Florida is ... the team that started 0-4 ... Florida State, 5-1 since that start. What that team has done in the face of all that negativity and scrutiny is truly a testament to their hard work/tuning out the noise

Georgia Bulldogs defensive end transfer Jermaine Johnson will be crucial for the Noles, as always:

Will the Canes be searching for a new OC this offseason?
Sources: With SMU’s Sonny Dykes expected to leave for TCU, SMU’s potential search has come into focus. Former SMU OC and current Miami OC Rhett Lashlee is the early leading candidate for SMU and will be hard to beat for the job.
