Happy Sunday, Seminole!

This edition is all about contrast.

🏀 Men’s hoops broke a six-year curse in Clemson — and did it with late-game poise that signals real growth.

⚾ Baseball showed both ceiling and fragility in Arlington — explosive first inning, then a reminder that top-10 matchups punish every mistake.

🥎 Softball continues to dominate unranked opponents — but Alabama exposed the narrow margins against elite power arms.

🏐 Beach volleyball? Pure dominance.
25-for-25 in dual points. New pairings. Same standard.

🏈 And on the recruiting front, a potential reclass shake-up looms — with FSU positioned well in a key EDGE battle.

Momentum. Missed chances. Measuring sticks.

Some programs are trending up. Others are being tested.

Let’s break it down. 👇

For the first time since 2019, Florida State walked out of Littlejohn Coliseum with a win — knocking off Clemson 70–65 behind a takeover performance from Robert McCray V.

🔥 McCray Closed It Himself

Luke Loucks called it simply: “What a win.”

💪 Clutch at the Line

Loucks praised the poise late — especially McCray bouncing back from a costly mistake to seal it.

📊 Back-and-Forth Fight

📈 The Bigger Picture

FSU has now won 6 of its last 7.
They move to 14–13 (7–7 ACC).
All four true road wins have come in conference play.

The Seminoles snapped a six-game losing streak at Clemson — and a six-game skid overall vs. the Tigers.

Why It Matters:
Winning late. Winning on the road. Winning in a hostile building.

That’s growth.

Florida State jumped on No. 9 Auburn early with four runs in the first inning — then watched the bats go quiet in an 8–5 comeback loss at Globe Life Field.

🧠 What Happened

🔥 Fast Start

Then the offense stalled.

FSU managed just two hits over the final eight innings, with its lone late run coming on a strike-three wild pitch.

💥 The Turning Point (5th Inning)
With two outs and one strike away from escaping the inning, Auburn strung together:

The bloop fell just off Brody DeLamielleure’s glove and led to a collision with Jace Estes, allowing Auburn to take the lead for good.

Estes (lower body) and DeLamielleure (concussion protocol) were both sent to the hospital for evaluation.

📊 By the Numbers

FSU went 1-2-3 in the ninth to seal its first loss of the season.

Why It Matters:
Early punch. Late execution gap.

Against top-10 teams, one messy inning and missed chances are enough to flip momentum.

No. 7 Florida State split Saturday at the Dugout Club Classic — rolling past Dartmouth 8–0 (5 inn.) before falling 5–1 to No. 9 Alabama.

Notably, FSU was without shortstop Isa Torres, who was banged up Friday.

The offense stayed efficient and clean:

Shelby McKenzie capped it with a two-run homer to end it early.
Makenna Sturgis added two RBI, and FSU manufactured runs with smart situational hitting.

In the circle, Bella Dimitrijevic shut the door in relief to earn the win.

FSU moved to 11–3.

The script looked familiar.

Alabama homered four times across the game, including two from Alexis Pupillo. FSU managed five hits — three from Makenna Sturgis, who also hit a solo homer for the Noles’ lone run.

Jazzy Francik took her first loss of the season.

Against unranked teams: explosive, disciplined, deep.
Against Alabama: limited traffic, punished mistakes.

Why It Matters:
FSU can dominate. The ceiling is high. But the strength against top-10 power arms and lineups remains a question.

Up next: Elon on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. (ACCNX).

No. 8 Florida State kept the sweeps rolling at the FSU Unconquered Invitational, defeating North Alabama and Southeastern Louisiana to remain flawless on the weekend.

Through two days: 25-for-25 in dual points — and fewer than 50 total sets needed.

FSU shuffled pairings — same result.

Depth. Flexibility. New pairings, same dominance.

Why It Matters:
Early-season chemistry experiments are working — and the standard remains intact regardless of lineup tweaks.

FSU wraps the invitational Sunday at 9 a.m.

One of South Florida’s top young pass rushers, Meshi Dobson, could accelerate his timeline.

The 6'3", 235-pound Plantation standout is strongly considering reclassifying from 2028 to 2027 — a decision he hopes to make in the coming months.

🧠 Where FSU Stands

Dobson recently visited Tallahassee and toured the new football-only facility.

“I like their program,” he said — while wearing an FSU backpack during the interview.

He’s especially high on new edge coach Nick Williams.

Energy + relationship equity is clearly part of the pitch.

📊 Recruitment Snapshot

Not yet ranked by 247Sports — but that production won’t go unnoticed.

Why It Matters:
If Dobson reclasses, the EDGE board shifts quickly. And FSU, thanks to Nick Williams’ early push, appears well positioned in the relationship phase.

👉 Read more for full recruiting intel and what a reclassification would mean for FSU’s 2027 plans.

This weekend gave us something important:

Proof of growth — and proof of the gap.

Winning in Clemson isn’t something this program has done lately.
That matters.

But so does what happens when top-10 teams tighten the screws.
That matters too.

Spring isn’t about perfection.
It’s about indicators.

Who closes games.
Who executes late.
Who responds the next time out.

We’ll keep watching.

Stay Unconquered. 🏹
