Recruiting
Mike Norvell’s Florida State Seminoles football program landed yet another transfer (No. 10 so far!) Tuesday afternoon when Oregon Ducks running back Trey Benson committed to the Tribe:
We expect that’s the final commitment before spring for the Seminoles, but you can still hang out in the transfer portal thread and discuss what other holes you’d like to see Florida State fill before the 2022 season:
NT&T with a detailed look how Norvell’s handled the portal thus far and what it all means:
Florida State handed out numerous offers to high school prospects, as well, Tuesday, including a four-star defensive end from Maryland:
Tuesday evening, FSU offered the top player in the Class of 2024:
For the rest of the offers and general recruiting talk, head to our most recent recruiting thread:
Football
We heard from wide receiver Mycah Pittman, defensive end Jared Verse, and wide receiver Winston Wright Tuesday morning—let’s just say they’re a confident bunch:

Thoughts on these comments from Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart?
Good people will leave College Football if the wrong people remain in charge. This was the most important thing @KirbySmartUGA said after winning the title. pic.twitter.com/eZTov96oXM

Basketball
Welp. Leonard Hamilton’s Noles knocked off Coach K’s Duke Blue Devils, once again, a 79-78 OT thriller:
Speaking of overtime:
Simply incredible.
— Matt Norlander (@MattNorlander) January 19, 2022
Florida State wins a 13th straight overtime game. Never been done before.
FSU 79, Duke 78.
Never get involved in a land war in Asia, and never get involved in an overtime game against Leonard Hamilton.
And Coach Ham’s teams are pretty good at knocking off ranked foes:
Leonard Hamilton has his 55th win against AP Top 25 teams when unranked, the most by any coach during the AP Poll Era (1948-49), surpassing Bob Knight, who had 54.

NFL Noles
Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers was very impressive in Monday evening’s convincing win over the Arizona Cardinals in the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs, and he earned the game ball for his efforts:

Thankful that Philadelphia Eagles DE Josh Sweat is (seemingly) fine now:
On Tuesday night, #Eagles defender Josh Sweat was admitted to the hospital. He underwent an emergency procedure due to the severity of the matter. The doctors addressed a life-threatening situation. Sweat and the medical team did everything possible to help him return to play.

NBA Noles
Scottie Barnes has been very impressive this season, and he’s a thoughtful young man:
To whoever this lady in the stand is, I hope you are okay https://t.co/PwddYeMtUl

It sure seems the Raptors made the correct call taking Barnes over Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs:
Baseball
FSU is predicted to finish in the top 15 by D1 baseball:
A big reason the Noles are thought of so highly is the pitching staff. Who should we expect to start this season?

Solid win for Coach Sue’s crew:
