FLORIDA STATE — The Florida State Seminoles had an eventful end of the week that included a hold your breath basketball victory over the Syracuse Orange, women’s basketball suffering a heartbreaking loss on Thursday, and ended with Mike Norvell and Co. hosting a successful haul of recruits on Saturday.
Let's dive in:
Football/Recruiting
A new roster was released on Friday adding Tribe ‘22 to the list. A few number changes were made, a few numbers were given out, and it gave a glimpse into what players received a redshirt from the 2021 season.

ACC commissioner Jim Phillips had some words about expanding the CFB playoff expressing his beliefs that there are more pressing issues that need to be addressed beforehand:

Says larger issues should be addressed before playoff expansion.
ACC has “significant concerns” about current expansion model.

Basketball
Men’s basketball (10-5, 4-2 ACC) got about as close to a buzzer-beater as you can when senior guard Rayquan Evans sunk two free throws to end the game against Syracuse 76-71.
