Buster Posey will have a place in Cooperstown in the future:

Football:

Season 3 of the Climb is here as FSU Football returns from spring break after this weekend:

It’s rare that a team’s opening game can be season-defining but for FSU that just might be the case.

It is always hard to choose the opener as a season-defining game because in the College Football Playoff era, teams have overcome early losses to end up making it into the top four. But the LSU game in Orlando seems like the easy choice here, and we can point to last season for the reason why. There were plenty of questions about the Seminoles headed into the season, and none of them were centered around whether they could win 10 games. But beating LSU in New Orleans showed this would be a different type of Florida State team and a different season. A loss there, and who knows what happens. Now, this matchup to open 2023 could be even bigger as both teams have high expectations. The hype is there for Florida State and a win would only serve to continue the hype train. — Andrea Adelson

Apparently when it comes to scouting football players and scouting women Kirby Smart, Nick Saban, and Sir Mix-A-lot have a lot in common.

Recruiting:

FSU’s red hot start and ability to continue to get high profile recruits on campus has FSU fans and media seeing visions of a top-five class.

This could end up being a top-five class for Mike Norvell if he wins the ACC and gets the Seminoles into the College Football Playoff. For one, this doesn’t appear to be a cycle in which FSU will utilize the transfer portal as much as it has in the past because there are a number of high-caliber recruits interested in the program coming off a 10-win season. That helps FSU with the math and in the team recruiting rankings overall.
