With the off-season upon us I thought we would look at each ACC team and throw out some random thoughts about each school. I thought we would start at the top of the ACC and go from there. Keep it flame free and maybe even get some of the fans from the other schools to weigh in. It doesn't have to be all Bball related but that should be focus.

Lets take a look at FSU:
FSU loses Al Thornton (6-8) and Jerel Allen (6-4, 19 MPG, 5 PPG) to graduation.
Thornton led the team in 6 categories (31.2 MPG, 44% 3pt FG, 7.2 RPG, 40 Blocks, 53 steals, and 19.7 PPG).
Thornton got rewarded for his versatility by being a unanimous 1st eam All-ACC selection and by making various 2nd and 3rd team All-Americans.
The top returning scorers for the Seminoles are Toney Douglas (6-1, JR, 12.7 PPG), Jason Rich (6-3, SR, 10.3 PPG, 81% FT), and Isaiah Swann (6-1, SR, 10.3 PPG, 110 assists).
Uche Echefu (6-9, JR) a one-time Blue Devil recruit is FSU's leading returning rebounder at 4.3 RPG, which is not good considering they were out rebounded as a team last year by their opponents.
Julian Vaughn (6-10) and Solomon Alabi (7-1) were in the RSCI Top 100 at #41 and #34 respectively. Vaughn fell 22 spots since their last ranking and is considered by some to be soft. Alabi climbed 10 spots since their last ranking and played on the international team at the Hoop Summit.
FSU also signed Jordan Demercy (6-7) for next year.
On the Gridiron, FSU is bringing in a re-juvenated staff/team for next season headlined by new Coach Jimbo Fisher (offensive Coordinator) and Trivett (sp?, Offensive Line Coach).
After finshing a dissapointing 7-6 last year, FSU brought in the 6th best recruiting class in the ACC (per Scouts), thats not going to turn the frown upside down.
