Florida State wasn't perfect in its win over Virginia Tech, but there were some really good moments to build on. A look at those positives -- in addition to some of the parts that need to be cleaned up -- standout performances, and an airing of grievances about ACC officiating are on the docket for this episode.
Plus we give you the recap on the LJ McCray official visit in addition to other recruiting tidbits.
But first, we laugh at Miami.

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.

OTB: Draft Day!

Florida State concluded spring camp this weekend, including its annual Spring Showcase (don’t call it a game).
On The Bench delivers some thoughts on the scrimmage and the camp in general as we take inventory on the aspects of the team that we feel good with and the areas of concern now that we’re in the spring Portal period.
Speaking of the Portal, we catch you up on the latest happenings in this transfer window before Nee takes us into a Leon County court room for another edition of FSU vs. the ACC .
