Summary

Voices lend themselves to the end of Jimbo Fisher's tenure at FSU, although the most noteworthy development in an in-depth Bleacher Report article could've come in a throwaway line.

On The Bench goes over the article, matching it to what we've reported over the past year or so...and looks at what we learned. Was it noteworthy about the voices we heard from? Did Willie Taggart get absolved too much in this article?

Plus Josh Newberg, Chris Nee and even Brendan Sonnone get into developments on the recruiting trail from June...and why July is becoming a crucial month for the Seminoles.
