And your decision was made a little while ago, but if you could just take us back through the decision, like, what attracted you to Florida State?

It was just, that was in my top three coming out of high school.

So at the time, coming out of high school, it just wasn't the right timing.

You know what I'm saying?

So they weren't mine coming out of high school. But just going through the process, you know what I'm saying? So they weren't mine coming out of high school, but just going

through the process, when I got in the portal, Coach Navelle is one of the first guys, you know what

saying, who reached out to me. That kind of stuck with me. The conversations that I had with him

over the phone was just, I wouldn't say mind-blowing, but it was just a different conversation, not just like coach speak. It was like real talk. He was kind of one of the only ones who had that conversation with me for a fair for.

Good friend. That's the nine of the last thing. Following up with that, Coach Norville, what was the conversations like with him in terms of how they would like to use you? And I guess have you looked at the way they've used versatile title players,

such as yourself at other stops, whether it's here, Memphis, anything like that?

Yeah, he's definitely an offensive-minded guy. So just seeing that, not just him telling me,

but I actually know what I'm saying, seen it.

So just going into that and have a conversation with him about being used in this offense, I feel like I can be very explosive and that just team win.

That's fine.

Yeah, I mean, I saw that, you know, at Valdosta, you played with Tate.

Did he reach out to you about coming here? Like, what was that process like? I wouldn't say he reached out. He just asked me how my process was going. I wouldn't say he tried to, know what I'm saying, leave me here. But he definitely reached out and asked me what was my thoughts and what was I going to do.

At the time, I kind of told him I was trying to know what I had my options.

Once I made the decision, he was very excited about it.

Knowing we played together in high school, so being able to have another chance to play with each other again, it's going to be very fun. We've got one on Zoom here from Matt Baker with the Tampa Bay Times.

Okay, James.

Obviously, of course, Borgbe and Mike Carvel did really, you know,

we were able to use a lot of different transfer playmakers last year on offense.
