Michel Arkhangelskiy | 100 backstroke – 44.49, 5th | 200 backstroke – 1:38.50, 8th | 100 butterfly – 44.36, 8th

Arkhangelskiy punched tickets to his first NCAA Championships with personal best times in all three of his individual entries last month at the ACC Championships. With a conference title in the 100 backstroke (44.49), runner-up performance in the 100 butterfly (44.36), ninth-place finish in the 200 backstroke (1:38.50) and a 400 freestyle relay leadoff (41.68), Arkhangelskiy broke four individual school records during the meet. He also swam the butterfly leg of both the 200 and 400 medley relays, leading his teams to second- and fourth-place finishes. The freshman was involved in the 200 and 400 freestyle relays which both placed fifth overall. In addition to his three individual events, Arkhangelskiy will represent the Noles in relay events.

Tommaso Baravelli | 200 breaststroke – 1:52.37, 23rd | 100 breaststroke – 51.80, 32nd

Baravelli will represent the Noles at his second NCAA Championships in the 200 breaststroke after shattering his own program record (1:52.37) at the Florida Invitational. He was 11th overall in the event at the ACC Championships and also contributed to a runner-up finish in the 200 medley relay and a school-record-setting fourth-place finish in the 400 medley relay. Baravelli also will swim in the 100 breaststroke and relays at the national meet.

Mason Herbet | 100 backstroke – 45.26, 28th | 200 individual medley – 1:43.41, 40th | 100 freestyle – 42.77, 66th

Herbet qualified for his fourth NCAA Championships thanks to a personal-best swim in the 100 backstroke (45.26) as he placed sixth at the ACC Championships in February. The performance gave him the third-fastest 100 backstroke in FSU history, only trailing teammates Arkhangelskiy and Wilson. He also had a hand in FSU’s school record-breaking and fifth-place-finishing 400 freestyle relay at the conference meet. Herbet holds top-ten times in FSU history in the 200 backstroke, 100 butterfly and 200 individual medley. Along with his 100 backstroke, 100 freestyle and 200 individual medley, the fifth-year will race in relays.

Logan Robinson | 200 butterfly – 1:40.34, 11th | 100 butterfly – 45.94, 42nd | 200 individual medley – 1:44.51, 55th

Logan Robinson will go to his first NCAAs with a school-record and top-eight conference finish in the 200 butterfly (1:40.34). After taking ownership of the record for the first time in November, Robinson bested it at the ACC Championships, placing fifth in the event. The freshman also played a role in the school-record-shattering 800 freestyle relay, anchoring the team on the opening night of the conference meet as the relay was fifth. Robinson will swim in the 100 butterfly, 200 individual medley and relays this week.

Carlos Vargas | Platform – 743.85

In his first season as a Seminole, Carlos Vargas qualified for his first NCAA event in platform (743.85) thanks to a sixth place finish at the Zone B Diving Championships at Auburn. The freshman also scored points by finishing 14th for the Noles in platform at the ACC Championships in February.

Max Wilson | 100 backstroke – 44.82, 8th | 50 freestyle – 19.35, 46th | 100 freestyle – 42.43, 53rd

Wilson will compete at his second NCAA Championships in the 100 backstroke (44.82) after swimming a personal-best and second-fastest time in FSU history at the Georgia Tech Invite in November. Wilson was 11th in the event at the ACC Championships. Also at the conference meet, he had a hand in the school-record-breaking and fourth-place 400 medley relay and fifth-place 200 freestyle relay. He will race in the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle and relay events at the national championships.

The Seminoles earned bids in all five relay events for the second year in a row and will have four additional swimmers in those lineups.

Relay Swimmers | 200 Freestyle Relay (1:15.86, 14th), 400 Freestyle Relay (2:47.91, 12th), 800 Freestyle Relay (6:12.68, 16th), 200 Medley Relay (1:21.98, 7th), 400 Medley Relay (3:02.33, 10th)

Sam Bork

Appearing at his first NCAAs, junior Sam Bork raced in the 200 and 400 medley relays and the 200 freestyle relay at ACCs, helping all three place in the top five, and breaking records in both medley relays. Bork also placed sixth in the 50 freestyle (19.06) at the conference championships to earn the second-fastest time in FSU history.

Utku Kurtdere

Another first-time NCAA competitor, junior Utku Kurtdere was part of the record-breaking 800 freestyle relay at the ACC conference meet. With four personal best times at the ACC Championships, Kurtdere upped his top-ten performances in school history to two, checking in at sixth in the 400 individual medley and seventh in the 200 butterfly.

Gustav Olsson

Also making his NCAA debut, sophomore Gustav Olsson played a part in the 400 and 800 freestyle relay races at the ACC Championships, helping FSU place fifth with program records set in each. Olsson also earned a second swim and personal-best time in the 100 freestyle (42.72), the tenth fastest time in school history.

Yordan Yanchev

Making his fifth NCAA appearance in five years with Florida State, fifth-year Yordan Yanchev broke the school record and earned a fifth-place finish in the 800 freestyle relay at ACCs. He also earned second swims in the 200 and 500 freestyle events at the conference championships, as well as a personal-best time in the 100 freestyle (43.08). Yanchev currently holds the program’s 500 freestyle record in addition to three more individual top ten-times in school history.

Florida State will head to the Lewis Chitengwa Invitational, running from April 14-15 at the Birdwood Golf Course in Charlottesville, Va.

Odell Haggins has a new role. One where he will get to walk around the practice field as he evaluates Florida State’s players and not just focus on defensive tackles, which was his primary role for his three decades in Tallahassee.

What does he want to see from the Seminoles this spring?

“Fundamentals. Doing it the right way. Doing the little things,” Haggins told the Osceola. “And straining to the ball, both sides of the ball, every aspect. Fundamentals, straining and getting to the ball. If you got that, you’re going to win games on a consistent basis.”

Yes, there’s still a fire burning inside Haggins. He has a new role but the passion doesn’t turn off. He wants to see FSU succeed.

Four-star QB Bowe Bentley was on campus yesterday and another four-star QB Landon Duckworth has set up an official visit with FSU. But there is another name that could be thrown in the ring in the event of some QB dominoes.

Four-star defensive back Andre Clarke Jr hasn't been on campus since his freshman year well over two years ago, but the Seminoles hosted him for Legacy Weekend on Saturday. The Seminoles have some ground to make up but they will be getting an official visit following his visit on Saturday.

Ta'Niya Latson scored 30 points, including the Seminoles' first 12 points, but the junior guard had just seven after halftime.

Senior forward Makayla Timpson scored 14 points and pulled down nine rebounds in her final college game.

FSU trailed by one, 50-49, at the half. But the Seminoles shot 9 of 36 (25 percent) in the second half.

The Seminoles' season ends at 24-9.

I'll post a story from FSU sports information later.

Not going to lie, I have watched less Tourney basketball than I have ever in my life. I used to watch every game. I just don't seem to care that much anymore. You watched back in the 90's because Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon and the Runnin Rebs were fun to watch. You watch back then to see the Fab Five of Chris Webber, Juwan Howard and Jalen Rose all play with their baggy shorts. You watched Duke...to watch them lose. There were some great North Carolina teams. I will probably watch some ball today and more during the final two weekends but the Tourney just does not do it for me anymore.

That being said I have never been a fan of John Calipari. I have always thought this guy is the most overrated coach in the history of college basketball. If not for the Anthony Davis, Calipari would have NEVER won a ring. I saw Davis play in an early season game that year and realized that Coach Calipari could not even mess this one up. He has coach Derrick Rose (Memphis), Marcus Camby (UMASS), Eric Bledsoe, John Wall, Demarcus Cousins, Enes Kanter, Brandon Knight just to name a few. His 2015 team had Karl Anthony Towns (#1 overall pick), Willie Stein (6th overall), Trey Lyles (12th overall), Devin Booker (13th overall). He has had Jamal Murray, D'Aron Fox, Malik Monk, Bam Adebayo, Shai Gilgeous Alexander, Jarred Vanderbilt, Tyler Herro, Tyrese Maxey and has one title. I don't know how you have had that many players and not won. I am not sure he could have won with Tim Duncan or Docic. What is crazy is JC can't win at Kentucky but goes to Arkansas and in year one goes to the sweet 16.

Rick Pitino - What is crazy is JC beat the guy who actually can coach in the tourney...Won a title at Louisville and Kentucky and in year one has turned down Saint John. Not sure if they have been good since Chris Mullen played there.

That brings me to Dustin May - He is the head coach at Michigan. I have no idea how good Luke Louks will be but FSU could have hired him when he was at FAU. They wanted to Keep Coach Ham but May would have come for 2 million after his run to the final four with FAU. Guy can flat out coach. Michigan was a train wreck with Juwan Howard. He is in the sweet 16 in year one.

Recruiting - FSU now has 8 commitments in the fold. They have a class ranked #15th overall by Rivals.com. They landed Michael Ionata out of Calvary Christian in Clearwater. This is a very good year for offensive lineman in Florida. What I like about Ionata is the kid has size and length. He can play tackle or guard so Ionata gives you some versatility. He now gives FSU two tackles in this class (Ionata/Xavier Payne). There are some other options as well with Micah Smith (Vero Beach), Givre Carr (IMG Academy), Joel Ervin (Fort Myers), Jonny Jones (Berkeley Prep) all still options on the table. Now that Michael is committed to FSU it would not surprise me at some point to see his brother Joseph end up at FSU. They should have recruited him while in HS. Let’s see what happens now with Michael pulling the trigger for the Noles. The OL class this year looks to be solid so far. Would like to see a couple big time kids get in the fold.

More recruiting info....FSU needs more help at the edge spot. #1 on my list is Jake Kreul. He would solve a ton of problems as Kreul is the best DE, I have watched this off-season. What makes him so good is his burst off the line of scrimmage. He plays with great leverage. He will get underneath a tackle and stay low and just shoot by them on a pass rush. He has the ability to get a tackle off balance and shoot back inside and get to the quarterback. He came back on campus and FSU looks like they are actually back in the race which would be judge. I do think there could be good news soon once Kamron Wilson makes a decision. The Southridge DE is very interested in FSU and it would not surprise me to see him pull the trigger for the Noles. He does have a teammate Ryan Miret who plays center. I feel he would be someone FSU should recruit. I spoke to him and Ryan would love an offer from the Seminoles. He just won the state championship as a heavyweight in wrestling. Great kid. His father is the principal at Southridge. He comes from a good family. I just think these kind of guys are ones you build the foundation with.

Chauncey Kennon - Been a little quiet on his recruitment but FSU still sits in a good spot for Kennon. He is one of if not the best Corners in Florida this year. FSU could use a top flight, shut down corner. Kennon fits the bill.

Been told that another DB Lasiah Jackson from Lee County is someone FSU is recruiting and they have a shot at. He is from Lee County in Georgia. FSU seems to have made some inroads in the state of Georgia under this staff. No reason to stop as FSU has a major need for safeties.

Quarterback recruiting - Duckworth is the top dog. My top target is Keisean Henderson. He is committed to Houston but damn...you want to change the trajectory of your program he needs to be priority number one.

Receivers - I went and watched a UM Spring practice the other day and Joshua Moore is the real deal. I thought he was a guy FSU could have really used this past class. I bring him up because this year’s version of Moore is Calvin Russell. You just can't teach size. Russell has size and great hands. You need to be able to get guys like this and Russell has already said that he wants to leave Miami. FSU needs to be an option for Russell.

Spring Football reports - It sucks that Coach MN decided to keep the media out but to be honest, I don't think it matters much. It sucks for the the Osceola and other networks but the reality is most of the info is fluff. I am biased but the only network that did not report all the BS was this one. I went to Miami's practice this week and half the time there are so many people in front of you that seeing anything worthwhile is almost impossible. They also practice so far away at times you are guessing who is who. What is crazy is how little contact there is now at practice. It is basically two hand touch.

I will say this - been covering FSU for over 20 plus years and this is the first time I have not had a good feel for what the team will be like in 2025. FSU went 13-0 to 2-10 and right now this team and their record is anyone’s guess. I have those I speak with that don't think FSU gets to 6-6. There are others who feel they can get to 8 wins. The Bama game is one of the most important in this school's history in a very long time.

Here is a link to our live Seminole Sidelines Show. Bob and Nick with join me to talk FSU spring football and about what Mike had to say after the first practice in pads on Saturday. We will also talk a little about Castellanos/Glenn, take a closer look at the wide receiver room for this spring, FSU Legacy Recruiting Weekend and the commitment of offensive tackle Mike Ionata, highlight a couple of other key visits and finish with some FSU baseball news and women's basketball.

Matt Baker, who is now with the Athletic, reports the following:
"Athletes who are being recruited by NCAA schools will now have the ability to negotiate name, image and likeness (NIL) compensation under the terms of a proposed settlement of an antitrust lawsuit brought by the states of Tennessee and Virginia against the NCAA in 2024.

"If approved by a judge, the NCAA will stop enforcing rules prohibiting NIL from being used as a recruiting inducement. The NCAA also will not adopt any new rules banning NIL in recruiting.

"The changes come after a federal lawsuit was filed in January 2024 by the attorneys general of Tennessee and Virginia after an NCAA inquiry into potential recruiting/NIL violations surrounding Volunteers quarterback Nico Iamaleava. He was a five-star recruit whose multi-million-dollar recruiting process drew national attention. Florida, New York and the District of Columbia eventually joined in the suit against the NCAA.

"In February 2024, a federal judge sided with the states, granting a preliminary injunction that kept the NCAA from enforcing its rules. The state and association announced in January that they were settling the case before filing the proposed terms Monday."

Athletic Article

Let's go back a year or so, after the courts forced NIL upon collegiate athletics.

After being defeated and forced to comply with NIL, the NCAA could only offer NIL "guidelines" to member institutions: 1. No pay for play and 2. And don't use NIL as a recruiting inducement.

Immediately, my lawyer buddies - including @AllNoles -- predicted those "guidelines" would be contested in court and now that they have been, the NCAA has to back off enforcement.

Our legal buddies were right from a legal perspective. Absolutely.

What the NCAA tried to do with its voluntary group of members was to issue "guidelines" to follow... a last-ditch appeal to college coaches to follow higher angels. The NCAA had to know those guidelines would be ignored by the coaches competing for recruits to save their jobs. And once the NCAA tried to "enforce those guidelines" they were legally doomed.

I think this leads collegiate athletics deeper into the wild west AND closer to either making them employees so the schools can collective bargain compensation, or to a legislative solution, a carve out or an anti-trust exemption for colleges.

What do you think?

FSU sports information:

The sixth-seeded Florida State women's basketball team (24-8, 13-5 ACC) will play third-seeded LSU (29-5, 12-4) on Monday at 6 p.m. (ESPN) in the second round of the 2025 NCAA Tournament at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, La.

After defeating 11th-seeded George Mason (27-6, 14-4 A10) 94-59 in the first round on Saturday night, the Seminoles earned the first NCAA Tournament victory since 2019 and defeated the Patriots in their first-ever meeting, scoring the second-highest total in a March Madness game in FSU history. Coach Brooke Wyckoff earned her first NCAA Tournament program win.

The No. 22 Seminoles and No. 10 Tigers have meet 10 times, only once in the postseason back in 2007. Florida State won the last meeting 70-62 on the road in 2019, but LSU holds the series lead 6-4.

With the second-highest scoring offense in the nation at 87.4 points per game, the Noles are led by Ta’Niya Latson, who is the nation’s leading scorer at 25.0 points per game.

The game will air on ESPN and the Seminole Sport Network can be found at 96.5 The Spear, Seminoles.com and Sirius XM.

Out of all of the prospects that visited this past weekend, Lee County four-star safety Lasiah Jackson might be the prospect that the Seminoles are in the best position for coming out of the visit. The 6-3 and 175 pound safety really took the testimonies from the player panel to heart and enjoyed what he saw at practice. He named the Seminoles his out-right leader following his visit, as they battle Stanford, Georgia Tech, and Alabama.

Rivals analyst Sam Spiegelman has updates on DT Deuce Geralds and QB Bowe Bentley, among others, off FSU's Legacy Weekend:

Four-star IOL George Haseotes was offered by Florida State in January after previously holding an offer from Herb Hand at UCF. Haseotes has now known Hand for over a year and it's that relationship that is spearheading this recruitment. A successful weekend visit on campus has put the Seminoles in a very good position, as they are primed to get one of his official visits.

With a big scoring week, we have a new leader!!
@seminoleed takes the overall lead after another strong scoring week

I'd like this to be an archive of Luke Loucks stories from the last few days. We'll also aim to update this thread with any news on assistant coaches, player retention, portal moves when that opens.

FSU sports information:

Florida State’s Mirabel Ting won the individual championship with a record-setting score of 200 and a record 13 strokes under par, and the No 7 ranked Florida State women’s golf team won the Florida State Match Up for the tournament record fifth time at the Seminole Legacy Golf Club as play in the event came to close on a brilliant day to decide a championship on a golf course. Ting won her second consecutive stroke play championship while the Seminoles won their fifth consecutive stroke play championship – including all four of their stroke play events this spring.

Florida State’s Ting (first), senior Kaylah Williams (second), and All-American Lottie Woad (third) registered a clean sweep of the gold, silver, and bronze medal finishes. Ting, Williams, and Woad finished at a combined 23 under par. The win for Ting is the seventh of her career; the second place finish for Wiliams is the best of her career, and the finish for Woad is the 17th top three finish of her Florida State career.

Florida State led the event wire to wire with a one stroke lead after the first round, a 13 stroke lead after the second round, and 16 stroke advantage at the conclusion of the event.

Ting established program and Florida State Match Up tournament records with her three-round score of 200 and her 16 under par score in winning the championship. She finished with score of 66-67-67.

Ting broke the tournament record of 12 strokes under par by Katie Li of Duke in 2024 and by Beatrice Wallin of Florida State in 2021.

Williams totaled scores of 71-73-66 for a career-best second place finish and career best tournament score of 210. Her third round score of 66 also set a personal best for the senior.

Woad finished in third place with scores of 74-72-66 for a three-round total of 212. Woad carded her first career hole-in-one on the 13th hole in Sunday’s third round. It was the first hole-in-one by a Seminole since Charlotte Heath on Oct. 11, 2022 at the Ivy Intercollegiate at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, N.J.

Ting has now won two consecutive individual stroke play championships (at the Briar’s Creek Invitational and the Florida State Match Up) along with five individual championships this year (at the Folds of Honor Collegiate, the Schooner Fall Classic, and the Landfall Tradition). She has won seven career individual championships at the with one coming during her freshman season at Augusta (Moon Invitational) and six coming during her career as a Seminole.

The individual championship is Ting’s sixth as a Seminole (Augusta Invitational, Spring 2024; Folds of Honor Collegiate, Fall 2024; Schooner Fall Classic, Fall 2024; Collegiate Invitational at the Guadalajara Country Club, Spring 2025; Briar’s Creek Invitational, Spring 2025; Florida State Match Up, Spring 2025) all of which tie the school for individual wins in a career at Florida State. She is now tied with Seminole All-American Matilda Castren who won six individual championships during her illustrious Florida State career (2014-17).

Ting’s victory gave her the Florida State Match Up individual Championship for the first time in her career. She is the sixth different Seminole to win the championship following Castren in 2014, Morgane Metraux in 2017, Beatrice Wallin in 2022, Amelia Williamson in 2023, and Lottie Woad in 2024.

With Ting’s victory, a Seminole has won the individual championship of the Florida State Match Up in four of the last five seasons.

Florida State’s team victory allowed it to become the first team to win five Florida State Match Up championships. The Seminoles also won the championship in 2016, 2017, 2021, 2023.

Florida State will now prepare to play in the ACC Championship (April 16-19) at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C. The Seminoles are looking to win the ACC championship for the first time in program history.
