Florida State is approaching on a Top 25 matchup and a major recruiting push. Noles247's On The Bench podcast goes over the recruits expected for this game, including Miami DT pledge Armondo Blount, as well as our thoughts on the LJ McCray recruitment.
That includes heavily-hedged predictions on what the five-star McCray might do on Saturday.
We also give a mid-year check-in on this FSU football team and play some Buy or Sonnone.

OTB: ACC Spring Meetings, no good answers

Florida State is making movement in the Transfer Portal, adding athletic linebacker Cam Riley while also getting defensive back Omarion Cooper back after a season in Colorado.
Noles247's On The Bench dives into the impact of these two additions, the ongoing recruitment of Jay'viar Suggs, injury updates to Destyn Hill and Malik Benson, and then ends things with one of the more embarrassing blunders in OTB history.

OTB: A warm pat on the back, and The Great Ricardo Louis Blunder of 2024

Florida State had 10 players selected in this year's NFL Draft, leading to some funny and emotional moments. The On The Bench crew goes over their favorite moments from the draft weekend, and looks ahead to what could be in store for future 'Noles when it comes to NFL hopes.
Then we pivot to the Portal, which has been quiet...but still has a few available options for FSU as it tries to round out its 2024 roster.
