“Everything he has done would suggest that he is ready. But until he goes up for a ball in practice and then comes down on that leg, you don’t really know. Certainly, we’re looking forward to him coming back.’’ Said Larmond, “I can’t wait for practice. It’s been a long time, almost 365 days."

"I really have no clue what to expect," says Valencia graduate Lonnie Jackson, who is preparing for his first Division I basketball season at Boston College. "I can't even imagine myself playing at Duke (one of Boston College's conference opponents) right now. It's crazy to think about myself playing on TV in front of millions of people.

The Importance of Florida State (Pre-Snap Read)
It’s early in the process, but F.S.U. leads the way in 2011. It’s early in the process because the Seminoles have showed much but proven little, winning 10 games last fall but still losing to Virginia Tech in the A.C.C. title game.
