MAILBAG!!! Star-gazing coaches, embracing expectations and bad basketball

It’s another MAILBAG edition of On The Bench. Nee, Zach, and Sonnone take listener questions from the Noles247 message boarders about the way we rank recruits, the Seminoles’ hopes of putting together an “elite” prep class in 2024, our expectations for the 2023 season, spring storylines, and more.The conversation derails into a debate on whether some coaching staffs track stars/player rankings from recruiting services, and whether we consider it “this season” already for the 2023 campaign.But first Nee presents a direct view of FSU’s floundering basketball program.You can subscribe to On The Bench, X’s and Noles, and Beyond The Bench on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify.
