FSU coach reveals the pitch that helped land FSU transfer

Luke Loucks did not recruit Shon Abaev to Florida State by telling him what he wanted to hear. During an appearance on the Sleepers Media College Basketball podcast, Loucks detailed the unusually direct conversations that helped bring the former Cincinnati Bearcats wing to Tallahassee. Abaev arrived at FSU with obvious pedigree as he had been a consensus top-30 prospect and McDonald’s All-American, but his freshman season with the Bearcats looked much different. Abaev averaged 7.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 24 appearances at Cincinnati while shooting 33.5% from the field and 25.7% from 3-point range. Loucks was straightforward about what he saw. “Your efficiency is abysmal,” Loucks recalled telling Abaev. “Your shot selection is terrible. You don’t guard anyone. You don’t rebound.” Loucks went back through Abaev’s high school film because he believed the player Cincinnati showed was not the same one who had attracted offers from programs across the country. Abaev received 26 scholarship offers before college and became one of Cincinnati’s highest-rated recruits of the modern recruiting era. “We know what you’re capable of,” Loucks said. “Now we’ve got to get from the capability side to actually producing.” The approach also reflects how dramatically FSU’s roster-building

ESPN predicts final score of FSU vs. Clemson in Week 9

The FSU Seminoles are back in Doak Campbell Stadium this weekend for a game against the Clemson Tigers . It is an important game for Mike Norvell, with the Seminoles desperately needing a win to try to generate some momentum. FSU had extra time to prepare for the game, being on a bye last week. It came at a needed time for them, with them now 4-3 overall and 1-3 in ACC play after losing to the Miami Hurricanes two weeks ago. While they took the Hurricanes to double overtime, they still lost, and that is not good enough at FSU. Clemson lost to the Virginia Tech Cavaliers 20-16 and is now 4-3 overall and 2-2 in ACC play. This is just their third road game of the season, with the Tigers splitting their first two games away from Memorial Stadium. Ahead of FSU-Clemson, ESPN's Bill Connelly predicted the final score using his SP+ metrics. Connelly has FSU picking up a 27-14 victory, snapping their two-game losing streak. His metrics give FSU a 59% chance of winning. FSU is the No. 54 team in the SP+ team rankings after Week 8. They have an overall rating of 57.9, with a
