| 0:00.0 | Welcome to On The Bench. I'm your host for this episode for Red and Sonone joined by |
| 0:16.0 | Udaini, Dane Train, Draper, Dane. Hello. Hello. We don't have to go over this again. We did |
| 0:21.5 | it for the red train. What up, Zach? What up, Brett? So this will be the first part of |
| 0:28.6 | a two-day in a row series where we take an extensive look at what FSU's roster will |
| 0:34.7 | look like in the 2023 season. I know it's really early in the offseason to be doing that, |
| 0:39.5 | but most of the pieces of FSU will be working with this upcoming year in place, and it's |
| 0:44.3 | the season to be excited about. FSU is getting a lot of buzz as a top 10 team, potentially |
| 0:49.0 | top five team, depending on who you ask. Dane said there was no chance. How you feeling |
| 0:52.9 | about that Dane now? That all the portal stuff is starting to settle in, and people are |
