    FSU softball: How have Seminoles performed through early part of season? Feat. Sydney Supple, former Northwestern star and current ACC Network broadcaster

    The Seminole Softball Wrap and hosts Brian Pellerin and Gwen Rhodes are back, chatting about why they took a little break (hint: Perry got married, got lazy and forgot to upload the last pod.)
    The duo jump right into the thick of Florida State softball's early season performances, including the games in Clearwater, how the weather messed with the Oregon tournament, some key wins, and finally, looking forward to the big game against Alabama.
    Joining them this time is Sydney Supple, a former Northwestern pitcher currently diving into journalism, covering college softball for big names like ACC Network and ESPN Plus. Sydney adds a ton of great insight into what's going on with FSU softball, specifically calling out the team's solid offense, the evolving pitching strategies, and giving a shoutout to some of the newer players who are stepping up in big ways.
    The conversation takes a deeper dive into specifics like how disciplined FSU is at the plate, the potential for the pitching staff to shape up as the season progresses, and highlighting a few players who have made a significant impact. It's not just about praising the good stuff, though. They also get into areas the team is working on, like finding the right mix in the pitching rotation and getting the batting lineup just right.
    Sydney expresses optimism for the pitching staff, calling out some fresh faces that have been promising, and everyone weighs in on how the team is shaping up as they head deeper into the season. They also touch on how FSU's team dynamics play into their strengths and areas for growth, emphasizing the team's work ethic and the culture within FSU softball.
    Wrapping up, they look forward to FSU's upcoming matchups and the crucial learning opportunities these high-stakes games represent.

    FSU softball breakdown: Freshmen shine bright on Opening Weekend as Florida State Seminoles go 4-1 to start the year

    FSU softball breakdown: Freshmen shine bright on Opening Weekend as Florida State Seminoles go 4-1 to start the year

    The Florida State Seminoles softball season is officially underway after Team 41 hosted the JoAnne Graf Classic this weekend in Tallahassee.
    The Noles got off to a disappointing start with a 5-6 extra-inning loss to Charlotte but quickly rebounded to finish the rest of the weekend 4-0, blowing out their opponents in three games by a total of 28-2 and a walk-off win over Texas Tech in the other.
    On this episode of the Seminole Softball Wrap, Gwyn Rhodes and Brian Pellerin recap the weekend that was and look ahead to what’s to come to this weekend in Clearwater.

    What did we learn from not just the performance but also the usage of the pitchers over the five-game slate?

    The freshmen across the roster — especially Jaysoni Beachum and Isa Torres — made a strong impression in their first weekend wearing garnet and gold. What could that mean for the pitching staff and this already deep lineup? Gwyn is already looking for help with nicknaming one freshman’s home runs.

    The defensive puzzle pieces begin their shuffle. Torres appears to lay claim to shortstop, but third, first and the corner outfield spots could have some hot competition throughout the season.

    Plus, a big weekend coming in Clearwater. What can fans expect in ranked matchups with Stanford, UCLA, Georgia and Tennessee?

    Florida State baseball: Can the Seminoles bounce back after last year’s tough season? Previewing the 2024 FSU season with Brett Nevitt

    Florida State baseball: Can the Seminoles bounce back after last year’s tough season? Previewing the 2024 FSU season with Brett Nevitt

    It’s been a tough last year for the Florida State Seminoles baseball team.
    Coach Link Jarrett’s first year at the helm in Tallahassee saw a postseason streak end, a losing record, coaching turnover, and most recently, the loss of the legendary Mike Martin Sr.
    In his first season, Jarrett and the staff suffered at the hands of bad timing as their arrival at Florida State was late in the transfer portal season. The result was poor depth in the rotation and an inability to target problem areas in the lineup.
    Still, the Seminoles started out strong before falling into multi-game losing streaks at several points in the season. The staff struggled to make it deep into games and the lineup looked lost at times.
    To combat last year’s struggles, Florida State revamped the staff with coaches Micah Posey and Ty Megahee. On the field, the pitching staff added seven arms from the transfer portal including likely weekend starter Cam Leiter. The Seminoles also bolstered the bats with six transfers including a pair of slugging middle infielders in Alex Lodise and Drew Faurot. These additions along with the returns of Cam Smith, Jaime Ferrer, and James Tibbs should improve an offense that slumped last year.
    With all the new faces, just how will the Seminoles handle the 2024 season? We’ll discuss this with Noles247’s Brett Nevitt.
    The former Tomahawk Nation contributor is the best on the beat when it comes to Florida State Baseball. Nevitt will break down which arms to expect in the rotation, which names will make an impact, how the lineup will look, and more.

    2024 Florida State softball roster preview: What to expect from Team 41

    2024 Florida State softball roster preview: What to expect from Team 41

    The Florida State softball team is less than three weeks away from opening their season in the JoAnne Graf Classic in Tallahassee against Charlotte. With Team 40 finishing as the Women’s College World Series runner-up, the expectations for Team 41 remain high.
    This week, Brian Pellerin and Gwyn Rhodes of the Seminole Softball Wrap podcast wrap up their pre-season previews with a look at the Seminoles' roster as they head into 2024.
    With the loss of star senior Kat Sandercock in the circle and the return of seven top offensive players from the 2023 lineup, the offense figures to be the strong suit of this roster. But they’re not without their options in the pitching staff.
    In this episode:

    How does this lineup compare to last year’s? Can they replicate the success of 2023?

    Where does the lineup still need to improve?

    Who could step up to fill the spaces vacated by Josie Muffley and Mack Leonard?

    How will Makenna Reid step into the ace role?

    Who else could we see step up to add depth to the rest of the staff?

    FSU football recruiting: Breaking down Florida State's transfer portal haul on offense -- what do new Seminoles bring to the table?

    FSU football recruiting: Breaking down Florida State's transfer portal haul on offense -- what do new Seminoles bring to the table?

    The Three Stars are back!
    On today’s episode, we discuss each offensive addition from the transfer portal and where we think Florida State football could still use some help after spring on that side of the ball.
    QB DJ Uiagalelei:
    Measures 6’4 250 pounds. Began his college career for the Clemson Tigers, before transferring to Oregon State and playing in 12 games for the Beavers this past season, completing 57% of his passes, while throwing for 2638 yards (220 yds/game) on a career-high 8.4 yards per attempt and 21 touchdowns (against 7 interceptions). He also added 219 yards on the ground along with 6 touchdowns.He has an incredibly strong arm and should be an asset with his legs in short-yardage situations, as well.
    RB Roydell Williams:
    Brings a ton of experience with him to Tallahassee. He played in 45 career games for Alabama over four seasons, both as part of the Crimson Tide’s stacked running back rotation and on special teams. He totaled 234 rushes for 1,165 yards and 11 touchdowns, good for a career average of 5.0 yards per attempt. He also caught 21 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns.
    ATH Jaylin Lucas:
    Makes his impact in the return game.In his true freshman season in 2022, Lucas earned first-team All-America kick returner honors from numerous outlets after returning 22 kicks for 591 yards and two touchdowns. This year, he returned another 22 kicks for 572 yards and a touchdown.
    WR Jalen Brown:
    From NT&T when Brown was being recruited by FSU out of high school:
    The first thing you notice about Brown is his advanced footwork and ability to change direction on a dime. Though he’s still a raw talent, this skillset will help him greatly with mastering routes and improvising when the quarterback scrambles. He’s able to make over-the-shoulder catches look routine and has great spatial awareness when using the sideline against defenders. His confidence is a blast to watch because he often backs up smack talk, and he has the potential to develop into a dependable starter who can break big plays every game.
    WR Malik Benson:
    His 247Sports projection out of JUCO:
    Standout high school track athlete running as low as the 10.4’s in the 100-meter dash. Also had great marks in the 200-meter dash and the long-jump. Is not just a track athlete playing football though. He showed in high school and two seasons of junior college that he can be productive on the gridiron. Uses his explosiveness and top end to take a top off the defense and is also a threat to score on short passes. Is not just fast, but is a slippery open field runner who shows he can break tackles and has good balance. Sudden on double moves and has improved a lot in his route running craft. Adequate size and physical strength but a special athlete who has major big-play ability. Shows he can make contested catches when need be, but remains to be seen if he can consistently do that against Power Five competition. But he projects as a high-impact guy at a major program and has clear NFL early-round upside.
    IOL Terrance Ferguson
    Played in 11 games for Alabama over three seasons due to the Crimson Tide’s extensive depth in the OL room. He was considered a prime candidate to become a starter next season for Alabama. Heading into his redshirt-junior season with two years of eligibility remaining, Ferguson has the versatility to play either guard or center and will be a welcome and talented addition to the offensive line unit.
    IOL Richie Leonard
    Started all 12 games at left guard for the Gators in 2023, leading the offensive line in snaps with 755 and grading at 65.9 per PFF. He played in 31 total games for UF over three seasons. Heading into his Senior season, Leonard will slot into the rotation at guard and has a ceiling of a starting role, with a floor of bringing experience to the offensive line room.

Love the Content

I recently found this pod. Thanks for the change of pace. Good stuff

Petr12765 ,

These guys are almost unlistenable

Just such a lack of basic football knowledge. Pass. Hard pass. You won’t get the hour back.

Thank You

I just wanted to take a moment to thank each of you for what you do. You bring a fresh perspective on the Noles. Some sites and pods are to homer and then there is one or two that tries so hard to not be a homer that it blurs their vision. Thank You!
