What's there to be learned from the Florida State Seminoles spring game? Brian Pellerin, Juan Montalvo, Max Escarpio, and Jon Marchant jump on to discuss lessons learned and takeaways.

The new era of college football arrived last summer with open season for student-athletes to cash in on their name, image and likeness.

Recruiting has added a new (or maybe old depending on how pure you believe the sport has been in the past) aspect that requires programs to have boosters willing and able to win bidding wars to land the nation’s best players and compete at the highest level.

So do the Florida State Seminoles have the pockets to keep up? Does their current run of missing bowl games hold them back? And how can they capitalize on this new NIL system and push themselves to the forefront?

Brian Pellerin, Jon Marchant and Juan Montalvo answer those questions and look toward how the program fits into the future of college football as the sport’s leadership eyes the next evolution as well.

Are you feeling the football lull? Don’t worry, you're not alone in counting the 201 (yes, we did the math) days until the Florida State Seminoles are back on the field in a regular season game.

Until then, we can talk roster construction and season expectations.

This week, we got two headlines in both of those categories with a pretty quiet National Signing Day and the release of Florida State’s schedule for this fall.

Is there a takeaway from the quiet finish to the traditional recruiting season? And what is a reasonable expectation for Mike Norvell’s team as he enters his third year at the helm? The Seminole Wrap crew — Brian Pellerin, Juan Montalvo and Jon Marchant — answer those questions and more in this week’s episode as we await the start of spring football.

Thanks to a six-game winning streak earlier this month, the Florida State Seminoles basketball team found themselves at the top of the Atlantic Coast Conference. But after another blowout loss, are the Seminoles really contenders to claim conference crown and what do they need to do in the final weeks to make sure they’re dancing come March?

Host Brian Pellerin talks with Tomahawk Nation hoops-dedicated podcast host and basketball expert podcast host Matt Minnick to get you caught up on the ups and downs so far plus what could help Florida State find that consistency to make a run.

Plus with Opening Day just three weeks away, baseball beat writer and host of Sunday Golds Brett Nevitt to get you ready for the year that has the potential for a run to Omaha.

Just over two weeks since our last episode, the Seminole Wrap crew is back to update the Florida State Seminoles’ basketball season that is now in a much better spot.

So what do their NCAA Tournament prospects look like now that they’ve upset the top-ten Duke Blue Devils and climbed to the top of the ACC? Brian Pellerin and Jon Marchant talk about the hoops turnaround and why we should always have faith in Leonard Hamilton to right the ship.

Plus the guys check in on the latest with Mike Norvell’s effort to overhaul the football roster as they add some new faces through the transfer portal and how FSU’s ability to compete in the NIL recruiting market could impact their rebuild effort.

The Florida State Seminoles entered the offseason with plenty of holes to fill on their roster, but Mike Norvell and his coaching staff have moved quickly in the six or so weeks since their final snap to plug those gaps especially through the transfer portal.

In the last month, the Noles have brought in seven transfers addressing some of their biggest needs (offensive line, wide receiver and linebacker) and have now struck another massive hole with the commitment of defensive end Jared Verse on Friday night.

So what can we expect from Verse and the rest of the transfers and what moves are still left to be made for FSU as the offseason rolls on? Brian Pellerin and Juan Montalvo break it down on the first Seminole Wrap episode of 2022 — stick around to get angry at movies that Brian has never seen.

This week’s episode will center around the last 48 hours for the Florida State football program and what a time it was.

The sun rose on Early Signing Day with the news of offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham leaving his post to take the same role at Oregon. Then rumors of the nation’s top recruit, Travis Hunter, potentially flipping his long-standing Florida State began swirling. Obviously, those turned out to be true as Hunter left the Seminoles at the altar to sign with one of school’s all-time greats, Deion Sanders, and Jackson State.

Then another miss — this time on pass rusher Marvin Jones, Jr.

But the night did end on a positive as they landed an official commitment from legacy five-star offensive lineman Julian Armella to “#KeepCLIMBing” to borrow a line from Mike Norvell. This morning, another positive as FSU officially promoted offensive line coach Alex Atkins to take the reigns of the entire offense as the new OC.

So what’s next for the program? What’s Norvell’s future? How can this program compete in the NIL era?

It’s a lot to unpack, but the Seminole Wrap crew — Brian Pellerin, Juan Montalvo and Jon Marchant — does their best to help it all make sense.

A busy college football offseason is running ahead as we close in on Early Signing Day, but the big headline coming at the administration levels of Florida State.

The Seminoles have finally landed their guy to lead the Athletic Department in Seminoles Boosters CEO Michael Alford. So what can we take from the hire and what happened with their pursuit of Louisville AD Vince Tyra?

Plus, the Miami Hurricanes have made the long-rumored move of landing their homegrown head coach in Oregon’s Mario Cristobal along with new athletic director Dan Radakovich from Clemson. Is the U finally on the verge of being back?

Brian Pellerin, Jon Marchant and Juan Montalvo dive into it all plus look back at the 2021 season in Tallahassee. Who was the MVP? Which group saw the most improvement and which group needs some work this offseason?
