Summary

Florida State is embarking on what is almost assuredly the biggest recruiting weekend of the Mike Norvell Era. The Seminoles are hosting blue-chip prospects galore for this weekend’s game against rival Miami, and Noles247’s On The Bench podcast is covering the recruiting weekend like no one else. Zach Blostein breaks down the visitor list, providing context and noteworthy developments on FSU’s top targets in 2024 and 2025. The addition of Jason Zandamela, the importance of getting Jeremiah Smith on campus, and making sense of an elite DB board are among the topics of conversation in between Sonnone’s awkward analogies.

0:24.0	So many stars.
0:25.0	What are your thoughts?
0:27.0	I kind of like it, but it's a little weird.
0:31.0	Okay, do you have any working titles or suggestions or just going to say it's kind of weird, but you also kind of like it?

1:46.3	golden part of the jumbo era, but yeah. Yeah, true. But I did, you know, I did cover that, that first Virginia Tech game of Willie Taggart's era and looking back I don't think it was as top to bottom star studded as this one.
