Quoting Florida State Basketball

“Trent Forrest is extremely intelligent. He’s

got a high basketball IQ. Extremely

Competitive. Trent scored 3,000 points in high school, so he very capable. He’s a pass-

first guy. He’s extremely unselfish. He does

the best job of getting inside and finding his teammates. He’s not concerned with the fact

that he’s not scoring a lot of points.”

Leonard Hamilton Florida State Basketball

“Phil Cofer has made a lot [of steps to become a better player]. Obviously his ability

to step out and make threes, but then his

added mid-range pull ups. He’s a big guy, he’s really six foot nine at least, it looks like,

and big shoulders and he’s got good mobility

and he’s just a talented basketball player. He really puts a lot of stress on your team.”

Brad Brownell

Clemson Basketball

“FSU's Christ Koumadje, all 7-foot-four of

him, dropped a career-high 23 points on the Orange. I'm surprised the rims at the Donald

L. Tucker Civic Center survived the day on Saturday given Koumadje's dunk assault.”

Brent Axe

Syracuse Post Standard

“During long stretches, Florida State was able

to push the pace, succeeding where the vast majority of (Virginia’s) opponents have

failed. The quick tenor of the game allowed

the Seminoles to get clean looks before Virginia was able to set its defense, and

Florida State capitalized, especially from

beyond the arc.’ Gene Wang

Washington Post

“Terance Mann is playing at an All-ACC

level for Florida State. Mann has been

dynamic, especially at the basket. He has nearly doubled his scoring average — up to

15.5 points from 8.4 last season. His assist

rate has also spiked. Mann has done all of this while simultaneously improving his

efficiency, too.”

Brian Geisinger ACCSports.

“Braian Angola is another perfect example of why junior college players are much more

successful in their second year of Division

One versus their first. A year ago, the 6-6 guard averaged 4.6 points in just 11.8

minutes. Now with a year of experience

under his belt, Angola is a major piece for Florida State and is averaging 13.1 points, 4.4

rebounds, and 3.2 assists. He’s also averaging

21.5 points in two ACC games against Duke and North Carolina.”

“Florida State is back to their culture. Their

culture, when you think about Florida State basketball, you think about an elite defensive

team and that’s who they are. They’ve got a

lock-down defender in Terance Mann. Phil Cofer is shooting the ball from the 3-point

line. This is a typical Leonard Hamilton

team. He’s playing 10 guys double figure minutes. They are long, they are athletic, and

they can protect the rim.” Seth Greenberg

ANGOLA APPROACHING 100 CAREER ASSISTS

Senior Braian Angola enters Friday’s game against Missouri with a career-high 92 career assists (3.0 apg) and needs only

eight assists to reach the 100 mark for the season. Should he reach the 100 mark for the season (and join teammate Trent

Forrest with 100 or more assists) it would mark the first time since the 1991-92 season that the Seminoles would have two players with 100 or more assists in the same season. The last pair to accomplish the feat – Charlie Ward (122 assists) and

Sam Cassell (119) assists – played on Florida State’s first ACC team.

MANN IS FLORIDA STATE’S SCORING LEADER

Junior Terance Mann enters Friday’s game against Missouri in the 2018 NCAA Tournament ranked as the Seminoles’

leading scorer with a career-high 13.1 points per game scoring average. He has significantly increased his scoring average throughout his career and is just over eight points per game more as a junior (13.3) than he did as a freshman (5.2). Mann

has scored in double figures a career-high 21 times with his career-high of 30 points coming in Florida State’s victory over

Georgia Tech.

Special Surprise For Angola

Punctuates Senior Day Win

By Tim Linafelt

Seminoles.com

March 3, 2018

Ofelia Rodas Orozco began her Friday in

Villanueva, Casanare, a small town in Colombia

that sits about eight hours from the nearest

airport in Bogotá.

She made the long drive there, boarded a plane to Miami and then later flew from Miami to

Tallahassee to be at Florida State in time for her

son Braian Angola’s Senior Day celebration.

It was an elaborate plan, hatched by Angola’s

friends and family, to ensure that mother and son

could enjoy a rare day together.

Angola, however, didn’t know anything about it.

When he talked to his mother on the phone

Friday, she told him to play hard, have fun and

give her a call after the game.

Then when Angola walked on to the court, arm in arm with his girlfriend and a trusted FSU

academic advisor, he was treated to a

prerecorded video from his sisters,

congratulating him on his achievements at

Florida State.

Angola thought that would be the end of it. But

there was one more surprise in store.

“When I saw her, I just couldn’t hold it in,”

Angola said after scoring 21 points in FSU’s 85-

76 win over Boston College. “I just started

crying.”

It marked just the second time that Rodas Orozco could watch her son play in a Florida

State uniform.

With hopes of using basketball to provide for

himself and his family, Angola left Colombia in

2012 with barely a grasp of the English

language.

His resolve was tested a year later, when word

came that Angola’s father had suddenly died.

Given the news, Angola figured that his

basketball dreams were over, and that he’d be

needed back home to help take care of his

mother and sisters.

But after talking it over with Ofelia, Angola stayed the course.

“Ever since my dad passed away, I’ve been kind

of like the head of the house,” Angola said.

“Being far away in another country, it’s kind of

tough. My family is what drives me to wake up

every morning and work hard. And seeing my mom here was a very special moment.”

Six years later, Angola is set to graduate with his

degree from Florida State while playing a key

role on an FSU team poised for a second straight

NCAA tournament run.

“He represents all those things that are good about college athletics,” FSU coach Leonard

Hamilton said.

Quoting Ike Ogiabu on Braian Angola’s

Senior Day Ceremony

"I was literally crying. When I saw him break down in tears, I could not hold it back. I know

what it feels like to go away from your

family. I haven't seen my family in like six years. That was a beautiful thing to see."

Exhibition 1 -- Florida State 116,Central Missouri 68

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Behind a hot night from beyond arc, Florida State rolled to a 116-68 win over Central Missouri in its first exhibition of the season. Terance Mann scored 12 points and added six rebounds, but the story of the night was the Seminoles’ ability from deep, knocking down 13 shots from behind the 3-point line. Junior PJ Savoy, the team’s top marksman from a year ago made four on the night, on the way 19 points in the contest. Seven different Seminoles hit a three on the night, a stark contrast from a season ago when the team ranked near the bottom of the ACC in three-point shooting and percentage. The depth on the roster, especially of those with shooting capabilities provides FSU with more versatility on the offensive end than it had last year. The game also provided a first glimpse of some new faces for the Seminoles, including the debut of highly recruited M.J.Walker. The true freshman dropped 17 points in his first game dawning the Garnet and Gold.

Game 4 -- Florida State 98, Kennesaw State 79

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Phil Cofer matched a career high with 21 points and fell just one rebound short of a double-double as Florida State raced past Kennesaw State, 98-79, in a Wednesday matinee. Cofer scored the game’s first six points on the way to a 9-of-11 shooting effort, and his 28 minutes were the most since he logged 29 at NC State on Jan. 17, 2015. And he did it from all over the floor – Cofer threw down a dunk and a handful of layups, was 2 for 2 from the free-throw line and even drained his only 3-point attempt. Braian Angola (17 points, seven rebounds), Terance Mann (13 points), C.J. Walker (12) and M.J. Walker all joined Cofer in double-figures, and the Seminoles shot a season-best 42.3 percent from 3-point range. That includes a 2-of-3 mark from Angola and 3-of-5 effort from M.J. Walker, the freshman who has scored at least 11 points in three of his first four games. The Seminoles needed less than five minutes to claim their first double-digit lead, and that advantage ballooned to 25 points when Angola finished off a three-point play early in the second half. Senior guard James Scott led Kennesaw State with 17 points, 15 of which came in the second half.

Game 7 -- Florida State 83, Florida 66

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida State convincingly beat No. 5 Florida 83-66 on the road to secure its fourth-consecutive win over the Gators. Terance Mann led the Noles with 25 points and eight rebounds as FSU ran away with a big non-conference win in front of an over-capacity crowd of 10,425 at Exactech Arena. Florida State got out to a hot start, opening on a 10-1 run thanks to early 3-pointers by CJ Walker and Braian Angola. The Gators re-took the lead at 18-14 after an Egor Koulechov triple, but the Seminoles quickly responded with a 7-0 run thanks to Mann. An and-one finish from the junior was followed up with another layup and an alley-oop to give FSU a 24-18 lead with 7:30 left in the first half. The Noles would hold the lead for most of the half as they routinely got into the passing lanes and forced the Gators into turnovers. Trailing 35-34, FSU exploded on an 8-0 run, capped by a monstrous alley-oop dunk by Phil Cofer. The senior grabbed a lob from MJ Walker and slammed it home with one hand to emphatically end the half as the Noles led 42-35 heading into the break. Early in the second half the Noles continued to push the pace, going on an 8-0 run to extend their lead to 56-44 with 13:39 left, a stretch ignited by back-to-back deep shots from CJ Walker. FSU switched into a 2-3 zone to mix up looks and stymie the Gators early in the half. CJ Walker added 17 points in the victory, while Phil Cofer recorded a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds.

SUNRISE, Fla. – Mitchell Solomon scored on a tip-in with 6 seconds left and Oklahoma State knocked No. 19 Florida State from the unbeaten ranks in the Orange Bowl Classic.

Game 18 -- Boston College 81, Florida State 75

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Ky Bowman scored 19 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, Jerome Robinson also had 19 points and Boston College beat Florida State 81-75. Nik Popovic and Jordan Chatman each added 14 points and Steffon Mitchell had 13 with nine boards for the Eagles. Terance Mann scored 21 points, CJ Walker 19 and Braian Angola 17 for Florida State. The Eagles led by 16 at halftime and pushed it to 21 early in the second half. Switching to zone midway into the opening half, the Eagles’ defense flustered the Seminoles, causing rushed shots from the outside and many contested misses in the lane. Chatman nailed consecutive 3s just over a minute apart, capping an Eagles’ 12-0 run late in the half that carried them to a 41-25 edge at intermission. BC then scored the first five points of the second half — with Bowman hitting a 3 from the left wing — and opened its largest lead of the game. The Eagles maintained a double-digit lead until the final five minutes when it was sliced to seven. The Seminoles had it down to five in the closing minute.

Game 22 -- Wake Forest 76, Florida State 72

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Brandon Childress hit the go-ahead free throws with 44.1 seconds left and Wake Forest did just enough down the stretch to hold off Florida State 76-72 snapping a seven-game skid. And they sealed this one only when Doral Moore -- who came into the game shooting 45 percent from the line -- hit a free throw with 2.3 seconds left to make it a two-possession game. The Seminoles trailed by six midway through the second half before twice pushing ahead late, first when Braian Angola knocked down jumper despite being 0 for 7 from the field at the 1:49 mark. Then, after two free throws from Bryant Crawford (19 points), Phil Cofer scored inside at the 1:06 mark for a 72-71 lead. But FSU couldn’t hang on, with Cofer missing two free throws with 29.5 seconds left after Childress’ go-ahead shots and M.J. Walker missing a tying 3-pointer in the final seconds.

Game 25 -- Notre Dame 84, Florida State 69

NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- Matt Farrell scored a career-high 28 points to lead Notre Dame’s potent three-guard attack in an 84-69 victory over Florida State. Rex Pfluger added a career-high 19 points and T.J. Gibbs matched him with 19 after a poor-shooting first half (2 of 12) as Mike Brey’s Irish won their second straight. C.J. Walker had 16 points, Phil Cofer, 12 and PJ Savoy, 11 — all in the first half — for the Seminoles. Both teams struggled shooting early — Florida State went 5 1/2 minutes between field goals and Notre Dame nearly 5 minutes — before the Irish found their stroke from 3-point range hitting six of its first 12 on way to its big-gest lead of the half, 32-22, with 3:42 before the half. The Irish then answered a 6-0 Seminole run and took a 40-34 halftime lead on the fourth 3-pointer by Farrell, who had 14 points. Florida State’s height began to wear down the Irish on the boards in the second half. The Seminoles had a 16-9 edge and eventually caught the Irish 52-52 with 10:29 left on Walker’s 3-pointer. But Gibbs made three free throws to give the Irish a 61-56 lead with 7:49 left. His driving bucket, combined with FSU’s 3 1/2-minute scoring, gave the Irish a 70-58 lead with 3:57 remaining.

Game 26 -- Florida State 81, Clemson 79 (OT)

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Leonard Hamilton’s 500th win as a college head coach will be one he is going to remember for a

long time. Hamilton’s Florida State team trailed 11th-ranked Clemson by 18 early in the second half but rallied to send it into overtime before winning 81-79. Florida State tied the game twice in the second half but didn’t take its first lead until 1:05 remaining in overtime when Trent Forrest made a layup to put them up 75-74. The 6-foot-5 sophomore guard, who came into the game averaging 6.0 points, scored a career-high 16 with eight coming in the final 5:08 of the game. After Clemson was called for a 5-second violation on the inbounds, Forrest came up big with another driving layup to put Florida State up by three. Clemson scored four of the next six points to get within 79-78 but Forrest made both free throws with 5.3 seconds remaining to extend the margin to three. Reed was fouled with 3 seconds remaining. He made the first and missed the second. Clemson was unable to get off a last-second shot though to send it to another overtime. Phil Cofer, who scored all 17 of his points after halftime, said the key to the rally was being more aggressive driving into the paint along with turning up the defensive pressure. An Aamir Simms 3-pointer gave the Tigers a 49-31 lead with 18:06 remaining before Florida State was able to start battling back as it went on a 17-2 run. Clemson would score four straight to go up 55-48 but the Seminoles eventually fought back to tie it at 59 on Cofer’s jumper with 6:59 remaining. The Tigers scored seven straight points and appeared to regain control. They were up 70-64 with 2:24 remaining, but missed their final four shots in regulation. Florida State made its last three shots to send it into overtime, including a driving off-balance layup by Forrest with eight seconds remaining. Marcquise Reed scored 23 points while Gabe Devoe had 11 and David Skara had nine for Clemson.

FSU Forward Terance Mann Credits Mother For Turning Him Into Strong Leader, Floor Coach By Safid Deen Orlando Sentinel Nov. 11, 2017  When Florida State forward Terance Mann roamed his mother’s college basketball practices, he had one simple job he took to be extreme.  Mann’s duty growing up was to just be a ball boy and give basketballs to the players when requested, but he took his work to another level.  “He would protect that ball rack like it was his life, and the girls literally had to come up to him and ask me nicely for a basketball before he would give it to them,” said Daynia La‐Force, Mann’s mother who has who has spent 22 years as a Division I women’s basketball coach.  “He felt like those were his prized possessions and he would not give them up. He thought the ball boy was supposed to protect the basketballs.”  Mann added with a smile, “Yeah, I guarded that ball rack with everything. I remember those days. They were fun.”  As coach Leonard Hamilton and the Florida State men’s basketball team prepares for Tuesday’s season opener at home against George Washington University,  the Seminoles will  rely heavily Mann to  lead by example and from experience this season.  Behind Magic rookie forward Jonathan Isaac, Hornets rookie guard Dwayne Bacon, Knicks G‐League guard Xavier Rathan‐Mayes, fifth‐year center Michael Ojo and Mann last season, the Seminoles (26‐9) went undefeated at home, finished second in the ACC and were a win short of tying the school record for victories in a season.  While their first trip back to the NCAA Tournament  in five years was spoiled by a second‐round exit to Xavier at Amway Center, the Seminoles hope Mann can be a pillar on a team that will be without a clear‐cut NBA prospect and depending on a cast of developing players to compete in the vaunted ACC.  FSU will need Mann to shoot more from the outside, but his gritty multi‐faceted play combined with his firsthand knowledge from his mother’s practices make him an ideal candidate to lead the Seminoles.  “He was pretty much born on a court, and raised on a court,” La‐Force said. “He’s learned everything from being on a basketball court, everything about life.”  After playing at Georgetown, La‐Force climbed up the women’s coaching ranks up and down the East Coast at Long Island University, St. John’s, New Haven and Northeastern. She is now entering her fourth season at the University of Rhode Island. Mann, 21, and his younger brother Martin, 19, have been fixtures on the practice courts, learning along the way.  During quiet moments together, La‐Force would ask Mann which players were wearing certain jerseys so he could learn his numbers.  As practice was underway, Mann and his brother were on the sidelines imitating the players’ actions. When La‐Force blew her whistle to coach up a player, Mann listened to the yelling intently until it was time for him to also resume practicing.  When it was time to head back home after road games, Mann and his brother would ask if they could go sit in the back of the bus with the girls on the team.  

As they got older, they would travel with La‐Force on her recruiting trips to scout for new players — something Mann surprisingly loved. More than the traveling to new places and going out to dinner, Mann enjoyed sitting in basketball gyms for high school and AAU games like a coach himself.  “Believe it or not, I like going recruiting with her,” Mann said. “Since I was younger, I would give my mom little tidbits of players I would see.”  If La‐Force’s team suffered a loss on a certain day, Terance and his brother knew to keep their distance. Mann said he would often check in with his mother after the games, hear her “coaching spiel” about the unfortunate outcome and then head back to his room to play video games to let her finish stewing.  “If I lost a game, he may not have had dinner or help with his homework,” La‐Force said with a laugh. “They knew to give me at least an hour after a loss to cool off.”  As Mann has gone through prep school and is now entering his third season at FSU, he and La‐Force have to stay connected from afar.  Before every FSU game, La‐Force loves to send Mann a special text letting him know it is game day. While they might speak briefly before tipoff, they like to save their 20‐minute debriefing for after the games.  “He always listens, wants to talk, sometimes giving me his side of the story. Then I have to say, ‘No, no, no, this is what I saw,’” La‐Force said.  Mann admits there may be times when he’s not ready for his mother’s honesty. But it’s more than appreciated.  “I wouldn’t say it’s like a coach and player relationship. I feel like she’s my mentor,” Mann said of his mother. “She’s my mom of course. But I feel like she’s always trying to give me life lessons like a mentor.  “Whatever happens, I’ll go to her and ask her for advice and she’ll have the right answer. Sometimes it’s not the answer that I want, but it’s always right.”  Luckily for Mann and his mother, La‐Force’s schedule lined up perfectly, allowing her to visit FSU for the team’s two exhibitions. She will also be in the stands for the season opener after her first two games of the season, but she won’t be able to see Mann in person again until the ACC or NCAA tournaments later in the year.  “It just worked out that way — it’s God giving me an opportunity to watch him grow, watch him play,” La‐Force said.  She said her proudest moments as Mann’s mother are when she hears how respected and valued he is as a leader in FSU’s program.  Mann hopes to make her even more proud this season, with high hopes for the Seminoles and himself this season. “I have to step it up this year, definitely, on both sides of the ball,” Mann said. “I’m trying to not only get defensive player of the year, but I’m definitely trying to get on the ACC All‐Defensive Team. That’s one of my big goals.  “I definitely have to step it up.”  

Florida State’s Terance Mann’s Versatility Makes Him Key Cog For FSU; Draws Comparisons To Michael Carter‐Williams By KJ Edelman The Daily Orange Jan. 12, 2018  Growing up in New England, Terance Mann gained a reputation for doing a little bit of everything on the basketball court. About five years before him, NBA player and former Syracuse star Michael Carter‐Williams gained a similar reputation on the same courts.   While participating in the Boston Amateur Basketball Club program, Carter‐Williams vaulted to national prominence. When Mann was in the program and Carter‐Williams visited as an alumnus, the teenager gained an appreciation for the then‐Syracuse guard’s game.  Mann’s  favorite player as a middle schooler quickly became Carter‐Williams, even before  the eighth grader was nationally recruited.  “I loved how he did a lot,” Mann said, “…and how his process (to the NBA) came about.”  Seven years later, the junior’s versatility has catapulted him to become Florida State’s most valuable player. With the departure of last season’s top‐two leading scorers, Dwayne Bacon and Jonathan Isaac, Mann has had to redefine his game and vocalize his leadership, assistant coach Charlton Young said. The all‐new Mann will be on display as the No. 23 Seminoles (12‐4, 1‐3 Atlantic Coast) host the Orange (12‐5, 1‐3) on Saturday.   Mann shouldn’t struggle against Jim Boeheim’s 2‐3 zone because “he shoots the gaps and finds his spots in close,” Young said.  “He’s almost unselfish to a fault,” Young said, “If you gave him the option to put up 40 points on a team or have a complete game, say 13 rebounds, nine assists and four blocks, he would choose the latter every time. I don’t know a lot of kids that would say the same.”  But more than just numbers, his willingness to take on numerous roles helps his team win on any given day, senior Phil Cofer said.  His  desire  to  be  versatile  originates  from  his mother,  Daynia  La‐Force.  La‐Force,  who  is  the  head  coach  of  the University of Rhode Island’s women’s basketball team, molded her son to affect every aspect of the game, Mann said, because she desires that in all of her players.  “I didn’t want to pigeonhole his game,” La‐Force said, “but he would hear me complain about or compliment players on my team and he would learn from that.”   It started by accompanying his mom on road trips when she coached at Long Island University. Mann learned how to count by shouting the numbers on the back of basketball jerseys and while on team buses, he would always hang around his mother’s players.   La‐Force emphasized that Mann learned what kind of basketball player he wanted to become from being around the sport his whole life. Before and after every game, Mann always talks to her, La‐Force said, and she offers him advice.  La‐Force noticed the potential talent of her son the moment she saw him, as just an eighth grader, dunk for the first time. As La‐Force started to realize her son’s talents, she reached out to Young, then the head coach at Georgia 

Southern,  for advice. The two had once met at a Black Coaches & Administrators conference, and have been  in contact ever since.  “I became his protection,” Young said, “His mom was hard on him, so I just told (Mann) to keep doing what he was doing.”  Young credits Mann for rejuvenating Florida State’s basketball program back in 2015. The No. 86 high school recruit in his class, according to ESPN, Mann was the first Seminole commitment in his class and helped convince players like Bacon and Malik Beasley to come to FSU.   Mann called Bacon and Beasley and pitched winning as an emphasis. It was his willingness to reach out to other top‐tier players that helped lead his team to becoming a contender in the ACC, Young said.  This season more than ever, Mann has stepped up for the Seminoles. He’s increased his numbers in every statistical category across the board and his 61.5 percent mark from the field leads all ACC guards. When the Seminoles played then‐No. 5 Florida on Dec. 4, Mann poured in 25 points along with eight rebounds to lead FSU to its first upset win of the season.   With three years of college experience under Mann’s belt, Young and Leo Papile, a  former scout  for  the Boston Celtics and the founder of BABC, believe there’s a chance he can reach the heights of his childhood favorite player.  “You have to compare them,” Papile said. “Physically, (Mann’s) playing at the same level as (Carter‐Williams).”   

Feeling Healthy Again, Phil Cofer A Big Contributor To Florida State’s Early Season Success By Joe Reedy Associated Press December 15, 2017  TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Phil Cofer is finally making an impact for 19th‐ranked Florida State.   The 6‐foot‐8 senior forward is healthy for the first time in a while and has been one of the main contributors behind the Seminoles’ 9‐0 start. He has been in the starting lineup for every game this season, averaging 12.3 points and 5.8 rebounds.   Cofer was limited the past two seasons due to ankle and back injuries, but he said this past summer was the first time he has felt completely healthy since his freshman season.   “Injuries are always going to take a mental toll, but the coaches have told me to play my game and not dwell on the past,” Cofer said.   Cofer came to Florida State as a physical power forward who could also play some at center. As a freshman he started 24 games and was second on the team in rebounding (4.5 per game) while averaging 6.9 points.  But  injuries would diminish his production the next two seasons. He started only five games while averaging 3.2 points and 2.0 rebounds.   Despite seeing limited minutes, Cofer continued to work on ball handling and improving his perimeter shooting. That work has paid off this season as he is making 55 percent of his shots from the field, including 6 of 15 3‐pointers.   “Where some guys are always looking for reasons why they aren’t being as successful and use excuses that is not the case with him,” coach Leonard Hamilton said. “Even when he was hurt he was working on his game and studying our system. He has confidence in his shooting now that when he has the open look he can knock it down.”   Going into Saturday’s game against Oklahoma State, which is part of the Orange Bowl Classic  in Sunrise, Cofer is averaging 13.8 points and 6.7 rebounds during the past six games along with hitting 56.9 percent from the field. His best game during that stretch came in the Dec. 4 win at then‐No. 5 Florida when Cofer had his second career double‐double with 10 points and 12 rebounds.   Cofer, who had scored in double figures only seven times in 76 games the first three years of his career, has six this season.   The Seminoles switch in offensive philosophy has also meant Cofer has had to change his game. Florida State has evolved  from a motion offense  that  relies on strong  inside play  to a  team that  is more up‐tempo with versatile perimeter players, Cofer has refined his game to where he can play both small and power forward.   “This summer I was on the treadmill a lot more because of the way we play,” he said. “I’ve been getting the ball more but also have been getting a lot of open shots. With an unselfish team like we have and this offense, it has been great so far.”   Cofer and the Seminoles have also bought into Hamilton’s philosophy of having to win by committee. Florida State returned only one starter from a team that went 26‐9 last season and reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time in five years, but it can tie its best start in school history with a win on Saturday.   The  Seminoles will  host  Charleston  Southern on Monday and Southern Mississippi  on  Thursday before opening Atlantic Coast Conference play at Duke on Dec. 30.   

Even though Florida State has been the conference’s surprise team so far, Hamilton is trying to keep expectations in check.   “Our attitude and effort is good but still have some technique errors,” he said. “We still have a ways to go. We need to attack defenses better and move the ball better.”  

Health, Hard Work, Right Mentality Help Cofer Make 'Unreal' Jump By Bob Ferrante Noles247 December 29, 2017  TALLAHASSEE ‐‐ Phil Cofer became accustomed to watching everyone around him find success. The Florida State forward was a vocal cheerleader from the bench who quietly waited for his chance – when he would be healthy again and ready to show what he could offer.  Cofer went into his senior year focused on improving his weaknesses, refined his ball‐handling and jump shot.  “All the hard work in the offseason,” Cofer said. “I went straight into the gym. I pretty much have been grinding and grinding.”  Cofer began an intense offseason in the days after FSU was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament in March. He was in the gym working on jumpers and post moves, 3‐pointers and dribbling.  The texts  to assistant coaches Charlton Young and Stan Jones were frequent, with Cofer wanting to know when either would be available for a late‐night session in the gym.  “Everything he’s got going right now, he earned it,” Young said. “He has a pro’s type of mentality to the game. The jump he has made is unreal.”  The months of hard work have paid off. After battling through injuries as a sophomore and then averaging just 2.9 points a game as a junior, Cofer has become a go‐to player for FSU (11‐1), scoring in double figures in eight of FSU’s 12 games.  The  senior  forward  is  averaging  13.4 points  per  game and 5.5  rebounds per  game  through  the non‐conference schedule and has made contributions on the offensive and defensive end of the court for the Seminoles, who begin the ACC schedule on Saturday at No. 3 Duke (12‐1) at 2 p.m.  “His commitment to becoming a better perimeter player has been huge for us,” Young said. “Now he’s another guy, a big at 6‐8, that can dribble, pass and shoot and make a decision. Now he’s turned himself into a stretch 4.”  While Cofer was a starter as a freshman in 2014‐15, his career detoured due to foot injuries the following year.   And Cofer was often viewed as a reserve that could provide defense and energy in quality minutes off the bench during his junior season.  But Cofer has been one of the most pleasant surprises of the 2017‐18 season for FSU. He has made 13 three‐pointers – already one more than he had in his first three seasons combined. He has also scored in double‐figures in eight games this season after doing that just seven times in his prior 76 games.  “We have all known all along that he had the potential to be a high contributor,” FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said. “He’s  been  slowed  by  some  injuries.  He  has  tremendous  character.  He  has  good  genes.  You’re  just  seeing  the maturity  level of a guy growing,  improving. Not only has he performed at a high level, he has given tremendous leadership.”  Cofer has led with his intensity on both ends of the floor. While he’s had nights where he didn’t score as many points, Cofer has made his mark as a rebounder, defender and leader.  

And Cofer’s accuracy from the floor (55 percent) and the free‐throw line (75 percent) is also 10 points higher than his averages coming into the year. Coaches who have seen Cofer play a few times now are taken by surprise at the improvement in his game.  “He’s a  terrific  long defender on  film and  in person,” Charleston Southern coach Barclay Radebaugh  said.  “He’s expanded his game so that he’s efficient from the perimeter, both ways. I’ve seen his game grow in person. Because we’ve played Florida State play so many times, I’ve seen his game grow.”  Cofer says his success this season hasn’t surprised him. He’s credited his teammates with supporting him along the way, encouraging him during the down times.   It's clear that Cofer doesn't like to discuss the injuries much. After one game in November, he said he "came a long way" and on Thursday he said that his focus is to "keep moving forward."  While he is playing to prove doubters wrong, his positive mind‐set has helped him achieve a stunning start in what has been a career season. And the Seminoles have taken notice of the results from his hard work.   “Phil worked very hard over the summer and in the preseason, getting himself healthy, working on his game,” guard Trent Forrest said. “Now it’s just manifested for him.” 

Tourney Talk: HoopsHD Interviews Florida State Senior Forward Phil Cofer By Jon Teitel HoopsHD.com March 11, 2018 Florida State lost to Louisville in the ACC tourney last Wednesday but still had a resume that was strong enough to earn an at-large bid to this week’s NCAA tournament. The Seminoles beat FGCU in the 1st round of last year’s NCAA tourney before losing to Xavier in the 2nd round, and they made it back this year to claim the school’s 6th NCAA tourney bid in the past 9 years (where they could potentially face the Musketeers again in a 1-vs.-9 2nd round match-up next weekend!). Earlier today HoopsHD’s Jon Teitel got to speak with Phil Cofer about being undefeated in OT this year and facing #8 seed Missouri in Nashville this Friday night. You originally signed with Tennessee but were released from your letter of intent after a coaching change in Knoxville: what made you choose the Seminoles? After the Vols’ head coach left I just opened up my recruitment. Coach Hamilton was the 1st person to call me, I took a visit to Tallahassee, and liked it. Coach is like a father-figure to me. What makes Coach Hamilton such a good coach, and what is the most important thing that you have ever learned from him? Coach Ham talks about basketball but also a lot about life after you put down the basketball. He has helped me as a person to build my character. In the 2017 NCAA tourney you had 2 REB in a loss to Xavier: what did you learn from that game that you think will help you this March? We came out with good energy but have to be locked in on defense. Xavier was also very physical. After starting only 2 games as a junior you started all 31 games as a senior: what is the biggest difference between coming off the bench vs. being a starter? I am playing more minutes now so I try to bring the energy no matter how many minutes I play. Fatigue definitely comes into it but you just have to push through. In your ACC opener in December you scored a career-high 28 PTS/11-16 FG in a 7-PT loss at Duke: was it just 1 of those scenarios where every shot you put up seemed to go in because you were “in the zone”, and how close did you come to beating the Blue Devils? My teammates had confidence in me after I got hot and just kept getting me the ball. We came pretty close to winning: it was a hard-fought game and we need to be playing like that in March. You played 3 OT games in ACC play this year and won all 3 of them (over fellow NCAA tourney teams Syracuse/Miami/Clemson): what is the secret to beating good teams in OT? You have to play to the last minute no matter what. You have to keep fighting on every possession: that is what makes teams great. The ACC led the nation with 9 teams who made the NCAA tourney: how hard was it to go 9-9 in a league full of so many talented teams? It is very difficult because they all come to fight and always bring their “A” game. Your father Michael made the 1998 Pro Bowl with the Detroit Lions, your mother Reba played basketball at Tennessee, your brother Michael Jr. played college basketball, and your uncle Joe played football at Tennessee: who is the best athlete in the family? I would say my dad because he played the most physical game (football)…but I might have him beat now!

What do you think about getting a #9 seed, and will you have a lot of family/friends at the game in Nashville? I plan to have a lot of people there since my dad is from Tennessee, but I will be locked into the game more than I am focused on the fans. What do you know about Missouri, and how do you prepare to face a team with a player of Michael Porter Jr.’s caliber who has only played 25 minutes all year long due to injury? Missouri coach Cuonzo Martin was actually the head coach at Tennessee who originally recruited me so I know him a little bit. We will take the entire team seriously and treat all of the players as if they were LeBron James.

Braian Angola‐Rodas – A Family Man  Families are important. They’re a support system of people who love each other and look out for 

one another. For Braian Angola‐Rodas, family means everything.    

Born in Villanueva, Colombia, Angola‐Rodas is the heart and soul of the Florida State basketball team.   

“He cares for everybody on our team,” said sophomore Trent Forrest. “He makes sure at all times that all of the guys on our team are doing well.”   

This sense of caring  is something Angola‐Rodas picked up very early when he was  in Colombia. Back home, he has his mother, Ofelia Rodas, and two younger sisters, Karol and Michel, who have supported him and his decision to play basketball since he left his home when he was 14 years old.  

“She didn’t want me to  leave, but whose mom wants to  leave a 14‐year‐old  in a big city,” said Angola‐Rodas.  “My mom used to come visit me every weekend or I’d go see her.  Our relationship is very strong.”   

Entering his senior year at Florida State, Angola‐Rodas will have been away from home for nine years, but he still talks with his family every day.    

Angola‐Rodas averaged 4.6 points and 2.8 rebounds while shooting a team‐high .420 from the 3‐point line in his first season as a Seminole.  He earned two awards at the Seminoles' 2017 Basketball Honors Banquet – he was named the Seminoles' top 3‐point shooter and earned the Sixth Man of the Year Award along with the members of Florida State's “Boom Squad” group of reserves.     

“He’s  always on  the  phone  late  at  night  talking  to his mom and  his  sisters,”  said  junior  Christ Koumadje.  “One time, he went home and surprised them. That was a really great moment for his family.”  

Being away from his home and family has made him mature at a faster rate. Angola‐Rodas says that the distance and time difference between Colombia and Tallahassee has helped him grow as a person.    

His teammates and Florida State’s coaches alike notice his growing maturity.    

“He wants to help everybody he comes in contact with in every way possible,” said assistant coach Charlton Young. “He cares so much about his teammates and they all love him because of this compassion for people.” 

  In just one year at Florida State, Angola‐Rodas has created strong relationships with his teammates 

that will last a lifetime. His favorite memory with the team came within the first weeks of school in the fall of 2016 when Tallahassee was hit by Hurricane Hermine and lost power for a few days. 

  “We all decided to go sleep in the locker room,” said Angola‐Rodas.  “Imagine 12 guys sleeping in 

the locker room for three days straight; that was the best. I feel like that helped us get closer and closer.   It’s the humorous, spontaneous things that Angola‐Rodas does that make him so loveable amongst 

his peers.   “Braian is one of the most fun and exciting players I have ever played with,” said sophomore CJ 

Walker. “You never know what he is going to do next and he is a good person to spend time with.”   

Although he is far away from home and his biological family, Angola‐Rodas has made a new family here at Florida State. 

“He’s a very emotional guy with his family,” said Koumadje.  “The amazing thing is he treats us, his teammates, just the same way he treats his family.”   

Last season, his mom came to Tallahassee to watch Angola‐Rodas and the Seminoles play in their final home game of the season.  It was the first time she had seen him play at Florida State.  

   Angola‐Rodas is hoping to have his mom and his two sisters come to watch him play this season.   

Back home, his sisters cheer him on by streaming his games online.   

“My Mom  told  me  that  they  watched  as  many  games  as  they  could  on  ESPN,”  said  Angola‐Rodas.  “She said my sisters get very emotional every time they are asked about me.  They say they are proud of their brother, how he is playing basketball in the United State and how he looks out for them.   

 “That makes me keep going and work harder and harder every day.”

Even Before FSU's Big Win, It Was A Magical Moment For Angola By Corey Clark Warchant.com March 3, 2018 The Florida State men's basketball team has lost just two home games in the last two years. There have been a litany of special moments during that run. But maybe none more special than what happened before the game on Saturday afternoon, when senior Braian Angola was surprised by his mother during Senior Day festivities. During the game, Angola scored 19 of his 21 points in the second half to help lead FSU to a critical 85-76 win. But it was the scene before the game that will stay with him -- and pretty much anyone who was in the building to see it -- for a long, long time. Once the Colombia native realized his mother was actually in the building, he couldn't contain his emotions, breaking down in tears as she walked to center court to meet him. "It was an unbelievable moment to see my mom here," Angola said. "I don't know how to explain it. She's only watched me play one (other) time. To have her here for Senior Night, I'm pretty sure she's pretty proud of me." The only other time Angola's mom had seen him play in person was at Duke earlier this season. He said he moved away from his hometown at the age of 14 to pursue his basketball dream -- one that led him to Nevada for his final year of high school, to Idaho for junior college and then Tallahassee for his Division-I opportunity at Florida State. Angola has made the most of his final season with the Seminoles. He was the third-leading scorer on the team coming into Saturday and then capped off his final regular-season game with a 21-point outburst when his team absolutely needed it. And every time he scored, every time he knifed into the paint to score another basket, he would look up at his mom in the stands. She had flown all the way from Colombia. He wanted to make sure he put on a show for her. "It was motivation for myself," Angola said. "I was looking at her the whole time. I was focused on the game, but I was just looking at my mom. I didn't see nobody else in the crowd. Just my mom." Florida State head coach Leonard Hamilton doesn't get emotional in front of the media very often. He's typically stoic in any situation. On Saturday afternoon, after Angola's 21 points helped his team reach the 20-win plateau, Hamilton was asked what it was like for him to see Angola's mom walking to midcourt to greet her son. "Braian had a very emotional couple of days," Hamilton said. "Because his two [junior college] coaches flew in from Idaho and surprised him. He was very happy to see them. His girlfriend flew in from Denmark. She's a professional basketball player. She's very close with him and his mom. So I think that his girlfriend arranged for his mom to surprise him." That was when Hamilton started to get choked up. "It was obviously very emotional for him to have all the people who have meant a lot to him being here," Hamilton said. "Obviously, to top it off, his mother was here. So he was very happy."

FSU's head coach wasn't the only one shedding tears when he saw Angola's reaction. His teammates were, too. They gave Angola an enthusiastic embrace after he posed for pictures with his mom. "I was literally crying," said freshman center Ike Obiagu. "When I saw him break down in tears, I could not hold it back. I know what it feels like to go away from your family. I haven't seen my family in like six years. "That was a beautiful thing to see." It was special to the American-born players as well. Chipley, Fla., native Trent Forrest sees his family after virtually every game. But even he could appreciate what that moment meant. "It is very emotional," Forrest said. "I was telling the guys, anytime I see a brother -- my blood brother or my teammate brother -- I get emotional any time I see them cry. So I understand where he was coming from. And her coming so far, it's very touching."

After Summer With Colombian National Team, FSU’s Braian Angola Evolves Into One Of The ACC’s 3‐Point Aces By Brian Geisinger ACCSports.com January 4, 2018  Florida State basketball is off to a 12‐2 start, and a big part of the team’s success is one of the ACC’s early‐season breakout players: Braian Angola.  The 6‐foot‐6 native of Colombia spent most of the 2016‐17 season as a reserve shooter (21‐of‐50 on three‐pointers) for the Seminoles. However, he’s taking on a much larger role this season. The departures of Dwayne Bacon and Xavier Rathan‐Mayes opened a lot of playing time in Florida State’s backcourt; Angola is shooting his shot — both literally and figuratively.  FSU features a balanced scoring attack; five players average nine or more points. But the proficiency of Angola — in two of the money areas on the floor — is imperative for the Seminoles.  No Such Thing As Faux Deep Braiain Angola has played 370 minutes across Florida State’s first 14 games — making 11 starts. Angola played 402 total minutes all of last season. His playing time has leapt — up to 26.4 minutes per game — as has his usage rate: from 18 percent to 21.5 percent.    The increased workload doesn’t faze Angola, though. He’s thrived with more opportunities.  After a summer spent with the Colombian National Team in the Four Nations and 2017 FIBA AmeriCup Tournaments, Angola is making the most of his final college season.  In back‐to‐back games against Duke and North Carolina, Angola played 64 minutes, scored 43 points and connected on 8‐of‐19 three‐pointers (42.1 percent).  Angola  is one of  the best shooters currently  in  the ACC, and he knows where he’s best — beyond the arc: 63.4 percent of his field goal attempts are three‐pointers. According to Synergy Sports, over 36 percent of his possessions are spot‐ups. The senior wing has connected on 28‐of‐54 (51.9 percent) catch‐and‐shoot  jump shots, and scored 1.56 points per possession — No. 34 in the nation, No. 2 in the ACC.  It’s  important  to keep good company, and Angola  is one of only  five ACC players currently  shooting at  least 42 percent from downtown on at least five three‐point attempts per game. He’s joined on that last by four of the best sharpshooters you will find in college ball: Grayson Allen, Kyle Guy, Jordan Chatman and Ahmed Hill.  Unafraid of Traffic: Bring On Rush Hour While Braian Angola prefers to snipe from 21 feet, the senior can finish around the cup, too. Angola is 27‐of‐45 on two‐point field goal attempts. A big part of that efficiency is his ability to score at the rim — the other money area for offensive players.  On non‐post‐up attempts at the basket, Angola is 14‐of‐22 (63.6 percent) and has scored 1.32 points per possession. That ranks 30th in the ACC amongst players with at least 20 possessions; most of the players above Angola on that list on frontcourt players, too.  This efficient scoring augments some of the other facets of his game, too; Angola has some nice two‐way skills. While on the floor this season, Angola has assisted on 20 percent of his teammates’ made field goals — third best on Florida State’s roster    Braian Angola and his teammate Terance Mann are two of only eight ACC players averaging 13 points, three assists and at least one steal per game.  

Christ Koumadje – From Chad To Tallahassee  

Christ Koumadje has a name that’s not easily pronounced nor easily forgotten. At a daunting 7‐foot‐4, Koumadje is the tallest athlete in Florida State’s history, and that’s probably the least interesting fact about the sophomore basketball breakout.   

Koumadje grew up in N’djamena, the capital of Chad, Africa. With a mom at 6‐2 and an uncle at 7‐3, Koumadje revealed that his extraordinary height does, in fact, run in the family.   

“N’djamena  is  just  a  normal  African  city.  A  lot  going  on,  neighborhoods,  kids  playing  soccer,” Koumadje said. “I still get to keep in touch with my friends and family through Facebook and WhatsApp.”   

When he was just 16 years old, Koumadje left N’djamena to attend school in Senegal. Little did he know that this decision would change his life. 

  Upon his arrival in Senegal, Koumadje was encouraged to take up basketball.    At  that point, Koumadje had very  little basketball experience. He  instead played a great deal of 

soccer growing up.    Within just one year, Koumadje had moved from Chad, to Senegal, and from Senegal to the United 

States.   

“The  biggest  challenge  at  first  was  the  language  and  my  accent,”  said  Koumadje.  “I  feel  like sometimes I think I’m saying a word right, but to this day people will still ask me what I mean.”   

Soon  after  his basketball  career  in  the United  States  began  at Montverde Academy  in Orlando, Koumadje  was  noticed  for  his  burgeoning  basketball  skills.   Seemingly  in  the  blink  of  an  eye,  he  had scholarship offers from Florida State, Connecticut, Louisville, Tennessee, UCLA.    

The offer that caught his eye came from Florida State and head coach Leonard Hamilton.    

“I  liked  Coach  ‘Ham’  a  lot,  and  also  the  tradition  of  their  7‐footers,”  said  Koumadje.  “With  the success of Boris Bojanovsky and Michael Ojo, I can’t think of any other school that had that many successful 7‐footers playing.”   

Koumadje couldn’t have made a better decision for his basketball career, because although only a sophomore, he has improved his game immensely. In addition, he gained 30 pounds in his first two years in Tallahassee.  

  Koumadje says it’s his teammates and the Seminole coaching staff that push him to become a better 

player.    

“Playing at Florida State always has me going against really good players,” said Koumadje.  “It also helps to practice with other 7‐footers, like Ojo, and he teaches me how to use my height.”   

Koumadje says he couldn’t have asked for a better experience than his time spent at Florida State so far. His admiration and appreciation for his teammates and coaches is mutual.  

  Koumadje enjoyed a standout sophomore season as he helped lead the Seminoles to 26 wins, a 

second‐place  finish  in  the ACC and an appearance  in  the NCAA Tournament.  He played  in all 35 games, averaged a career‐high 10.1 minutes played, averaged 4.4 points and blocked 40 shots as a sophomore.  

  

“I’m excited for the next few years with Christ,” said guard CJ Walker.  “His energy and passion for the game is something that gives all of our teammates energy.  Along with Christ and all of the returning players, I am looking forward to the future for our team.”  

  “The potential for Christ to keep improving is without limits,” said Ojo.  “He is going to keep working 

with Coach Ham and the assistant coaches to keep improving.   I know that’s his personality. He wants to keep working to improve.  He works hard to continuously improve because that’s what he has made up his mind to do.” 

  Koumadje was presented with  two awards as  the Seminoles’ honors banquet at  the end of  the 

season by the Florida State coaching staff.  He earned the award as the Seminoles’ top field‐goal percentage shooter and was presented with the Sixth Man Award along with the members of the “Boom Squad” group of rotation players.  

  “’Big Christ’ is one of the nicest, but most highly competitive young men I have ever coached,” said 

associate head coach Stan Jones. “In fact, he has a bit of a mean streak when things get tough in the heat of a game. But you would never know that if you just see him on campus and spend time with him off the court. He has a tremendous sense of humor and is a great teammate. Christ really and truly wants to develop into an elite big man and as he gains more confidence through playing experiences, I think his future is unlimited as a basketball player.” 

  Koumadje is even more excited for what lies ahead.   “The future for our team is very bright,” said Koumadje.  “The players joining our team are all going 

to contribute and keep our talent level among the best in college basketball.  For me, I just want to work with my teammates to get better and help our team win games.  We are all working to get better every day and our  coaches  are  pushing  us  to  be  the  best we  can  be.  Next  season  has  already  started  for me  and my teammates.”

Savoy's Return Gives FSU A Lift Off The Bench By Bob Ferrante Noles 247 February 14, 2018  TALLAHASSEE – The pain in PJ Savoy’s knee was unlike any he had felt before. But while the Florida State guard would miss time due to the knee sprain, he also didn’t need surgery.  Missing seven games and watching from the bench was difficult for Savoy, who spent most of the last month rehabilitating and icing the knee while also doing strength training.  “It was definitely tough,” Savoy said. “Sitting on the bench, knowing that you could go out there and make a difference, it is hard. You have to keep your mind focused on the ultimate goal. And that’s to win.”  After missing nearly four weeks, Savoy returned in Saturday’s loss at Notre Dame and knocked down a 3‐pointer just 14 seconds after he came off the bench. He scored 11 points, shooting 4 of 9 from the floor and making three first‐half 3‐pointers, in FSU’s 84‐69 loss to the Fighting Irish.  The return of Savoy could provide an added spark during the stretch run for the Seminoles (17‐8, 6‐7 ACC), who play host to No. 11 Clemson (20‐4, 9‐3) on Wednesday at 7 p.m.  Savoy came off the bench to play 15 minutes, and he feels that he is still getting his conditioning back. When he’s not running in practice, Savoy has also been on the treadmill or bicycle, trying anything to “exhaust myself and get that game‐like feeling.”  “It’s fast‐paced,” Savoy said. “You have to be ready to go at all times. The conditioning level is completely different. It’s hard to get back in shape when you get out of shape. But I’m doing good getting back into shape, running on my own time.”  Savoy is averaging 5.2 points per game this season but his ability to knock down 3‐pointers makes him a valuable piece off the Seminoles’ bench. The junior has made 34.2 percent of his 3‐pointers but is capable of making shots from beyond the arc in bunches.  “He’s an extremely confident guy,” FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said. “I’m expecting him to be really, really energetic here down the stretch. He worked very hard to get back to the point of where he is. I’m excited about having him back and I’m sure he’s going to make an impact.”  Savoy is hoping he will be able to do just that. With five regular‐season games remaining, the Seminoles need to make a late push to secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament.  "I definitely feel like these last five games we could still impress people," Savoy said. "But within this team that’s not what we’re shooting for. We’re shooting to make the NCAA tournament and even make a big run."  

Sophomores Stepping Up For Florida State During Stretch Run By Joe Reedy Associated Press February 17, 2018  TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State's 2016 basketball recruiting class is showing that it shouldn't be defined by just one person.  Jonathan Isaac garnered most of the attention last season before deciding to leave college after one year for the NBA, where he was the sixth overall selection by Orlando. With Isaac's departure, sophomore guards CJ Walker and Trent  Forrest  along  with  redshirt  freshman  Mfiondu  Kabengele  are  making  solid  contributions  for  the  18‐8 Seminoles.  Florida State heads into Sunday's game against Pittsburgh with a 7‐7 record in Atlantic Coast Conference play.  "I  can  see  the  growth,"  coach  Leonard  Hamilton  said.  "They  are more  invested;  they  talk more  and  are more confident."  The  class was  rated  fourth nationally  by  247  Sports,  but  Isaac  garnered  the  lion's  share  of  attention  as  he was considered one of the top recruits in program history. He averaged 12.0 points and 7.8 rebounds while Walker and Forrest, who were rated as four‐star recruits, had limited roles off the bench.  Walker, who can play either guard spot, has started every game this season after coming off the bench last year. The 6‐foot‐1 Indianapolis native is averaging 9.4 points per game but has scored in double figures in three of the last six games. He is also shooting 68 per cent from the field (15 of 22) over the past four games.  Walker has seen his minutes more than double to 25.7 per game this year. With the Seminoles preparing to enter the stretch drive of the regular season, Walker said the important thing at this stage is trying to make sure he is better prepared mentally.  "Coming in as a freshman you want to do everything but when it gets to the last quarter of the season you need to watch more film and be more focused instead of relying on being just physical," he said.  Forrest, who grew up nearby in Chipley, Florida, has come off the bench and run the floor as the point guard. He has been content to create opportunities for teammates for most of the season but scored a career‐high 16 points in Wednesday's overtime win over No. 11 Clemson.  The 6‐5  Forrest  scored eight of  the  Seminoles'  last  13 points, including the game‐winning basket.  "I feel real good where my game is. I've been playing off my teammates," said Forrest, who is averaging 6.4 points. "I have to continue to be aggressive."  Kabengele was a  guard until  the end of his  junior  year  in high  school, when he grew  three  inches  to 6‐7. After redshirting  last  season,  the Burlington, Ontario, native — who  is  the nephew of  former NBA  standout Dikembe Mutombo — is acclimating to the college game, averaging 8.2 points.  "I feel like I'm king of getting the pace of the game," Kabengele said. "The way the referees are going to officiate and what I can do and what I can't do. I'm just waiting for my spots to be aggressive by being more observant on the court."  Isaac, who has had an injury‐plagued rookie season for the Magic, is on campus this weekend as most of the NBA is off for the All‐Star Game. Isaac, who is averaging 5.3 points and 3.7 rebounds, still keeps in regular contact with his former teammates and has been pleased with seeing them take the next step. 

 "It's amazing to see them progress and come into their own," Isaac said. "To watch them playing great is fun to see." 

 

 

CJ Walker Poised For A Larger Role This Season By Jonah Bear FSView October 22, 2017  With his freshman season behind him, sophomore point guard CJ Walker is more mature and focused for Florida State’s basketball  season up ahead. He’s poised  to  take on a  larger  role  this  season  since  former guards Xavier Rathan‐Mayes and Dwayne Bacon entered the draft last year.  “I’m ready to take on the challenge this year and do whatever coach needs me to do with whatever opponent we play,” Walker says. “I’m just excited to get back out there.”  Last season, the 6‐foot‐1 guard from Indianapolis, Indiana was a heralded member of Florida State’s Boom Squad. The self‐proclaimed Boom Squad was one of the top bench units  in the country and scored nearly 40 percent of FSU’s points in the 2016‐17 season.   Walker averaged 4.9 points and 1.3 assists during his freshman campaign and everyone only expects him to build on that with increased opportunities this season. On the court, Walker is at his best when he is attacking the basket, finding open teammates and showing off his ball handling skills.   “He’s always talking on the floor and getting everyone involved,” teammate and fellow guard Trent Forrest says. “He’s doing a great job embracing the point guard role.”  Assistant coach Dennis Gates, who recruited Walker to come here, also says that it’s Walker’s interpersonal skills that ultimately make him a commanding floor general.  “His biggest strengths off the court is he knows how to make a stranger feel important,” Gates says. “Whether you’re the president of the university or the janitor, he knows how to treat those two people the same, make them feel good about themselves.”  So how exactly did Walker evolve into the player he is today? While he has always had a love for basketball from a very early age stemming from his dad’s influence, Walker explained that he was a great quarterback in football as well.  However, following a serious arm injury suffered during middle school, CJ Walker had to make an important decision that would determine his future: should he continue pursuing football or stick to basketball? Obviously, he decided on basketball and that was the key decision of his young basketball career.  Playing behind the highly coveted guard Trey Lyles during his sophomore season, Walker learned plenty about the recruiting process. In fact, this is when assistant coach Dennis Gates first noticed Walker.  “It was an ESPN game and he was teammates with Trey Lyles,” Gates says. “I saw this little young guy making plays and that was really the first time seeing him play.”  After deciding to solely  focus on basketball at Arsenal Technical High School, Walker flourished  into a star point guard in the state of Indiana. As a senior in 2016, he averaged 24.6 points, 5.4 assists, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.0 steals, was named one of the three finalists for the Mr. Basketball Award in Indiana and earned the Player of the Year award in Indianapolis.   Needless to say, he was a star in Indiana and became a highly sought‐after point guard going into his senior year. While he had verbally committed to Purdue during his sophomore year, he eventually decommitted and reopened his recruitment during his senior year.   

 After noticing this, Florida State jumped at the opportunity. Coach Gates and head coach Leonard Hamilton visited Walker’s home in Indiana.   “For coach Gates and coach Ham to come all the way from Florida to my house, that showed a lot of respect from them,” Walker says. “That was the thing that separated them.”  Prior to reuniting at FSU, Walker and Forrest were friends with each other through competing in the AAU Circuit. When Walker informed his future teammate that he would be heading to Tallahassee to play college basketball, Forrest was left in disbelief.  “I just thought he was messing around,” Forrest says. “It’s good though, I’m glad he came.”  This season Walker is looking to take on a larger role. But at the same time, he is willing to do whatever the coaches need him to do to win games. He is an unselfish basketball player and a guy that everyone enjoys playing with.   With  immense  focus  this  year  and obvious  talent, Walker  has  the ultimate  goal  of making  it  back  to  the NCAA Tournament in 2018. He is ready to get started in their first exhibition game against Central Missouri this Thursday.  “Our team is trying to come for a lot of respect,” Walker says. “Nobody thinks were going to win. They think that we are a young team and not experienced. We’re going to play every game hard, fast and aggressive.” 

 

Trent Forrest: An Emerging Leader For the Seminole Basketball Team   

Great leaders do not always lead by the words they speak.  They lead by example.    

Florida  State  sophomore  guard  Trent  Forrest  is  an  example  of  one  of  these  leaders,  a player whose actions speak louder than his words.   

Forrest  grew  up  in  Chipley,  a  small  town  in  the  panhandle  of  Florida,  which  has  a population  of  roughly  3,580  people. Moving  to  an  area  like  Tallahassee  and  attending  Florida State with a student population ten times the size of Forrest’s hometown of was eye‐opening.    

“Where I am from, there are three or four traffic lights in the whole city, versus coming to Tallahassee that has one on every street,” Forrest said. 

  “The  town  is  only  about  an hour  and  a half  away  from Tallahassee,  so  the move  itself 

wasn’t that difficult.   

But  with  a  large  campus  and massive  student  body,  it  can  be  harder  to  build  strong, lasting relationships. That’s the one thing Forrest said he misses about his hometown.   

  However, he accomplished a lot during his first year at Florida State – on the court and in 

the  classroom.   Forrest  earned the  Seminoles’  First  Year  Academic  Achievement  Award,  was named to the 2017 ACC Academic Honor Roll and the 2017 All‐ACC Academic Basketball team.  

  “You  have  to  find  the  time  to  study  and  get what  you  need  for  class  so  that  you  can 

succeed on and off the court,” said Forrest. “Hard work goes hand in hand, really, with anything you want to do in life. If you want to be good at anything, work hard at it.” 

  Forrest  learned the attribute of  leadership back home by watching his mother, Barbara 

Lee, lead a local church as the community pastor.   His  father, Lester Forrest, would also coach him and his  friends  in youth baseball when 

they were growing up.   “Trent  comes  from  a  wonderful  family,”  FSU  assistant  Stan  Jones  said.  “Hard‐working 

people,  a minister’s  home,  so  he’s  been  kind  of  demanded  from a  young  age  to  carry  himself well, to act beyond his age and that’s all beneficial to him.”   

Friends and followers of Forrest noticed his  leadership and maturity as far back as high school, where he  set  and  still  holds  the Chipley High  scoring  record.  He  led  the Tigers  to  two state championships, all while maintaining a 4.3 grade‐point average. 

  During  his  senior  year,  while  he  was  navigating  the  recruiting  process,  Forrest  spoke 

often  with  a  friend  he  met  while  playing  AAU  basketball,  current  Seminole  teammate  and backcourt mate CJ Walker.  

  

“When me and Trent were talking, it was just about what we wanted to do in college and how much of a difference we wanted to make,” Walker said. “So we both wanted to travel pretty much the same path, and he was like, “Why not? We can do it together.’   

“And Florida State was just the place for us to be.”   The two freshmen quickly bonded with their teammates and created the “Boom Squad” 

– the group of reserves that helped FSU establish a reputation as one of the deepest teams in the country and collectively won FSU’s Sixth Man of the Year Award. 

  “We knew what the coaching staff wanted from us,” Walker said. “We talked about what 

we needed to do. We know when to give each other the ball, and we are both leaders so it just worked out as Coach (Leonard) Hamilton wanted it to be.” 

  Forrest’s aggressive defense, explosive offense and winning mindset are exactly what the 

coaching staff was looking for when they recruited him.     “I think he fulfilled all of those as a freshman,” Jones said. “I am looking forward to him 

making some significant  jumps  in  the second year here  in our program. Not being a  fresh  face freshman,  but  to  come  out  and  let  the  experiences  grow,  manifest  themselves  into  more production, a bigger role and more leadership expectations in the locker room and huddles.”  Jake Rosuck Florida State Sports Information Student Assistant  

Different Paths To Making A Similar Impact For Walker, Kabengele  By Chris Nee Noles 247 January 27, 2018  FSU has leaned heavily on a pair of freshmen as they entered ACC play ‐ guard M.J. Walker and forward Mfiondu Kabengele.    Both have produced.  The path to this point is very different for the two though.  Walker Blossoming Within The Team Game  Florida State freshman guard M.J. Walker is dealing with having to balance two approaches.  The first, that of a highly regarded high school scorer who earned accolades such as an invitation to the McDonald's All‐America Game, and the second, of a player within a college system.  "I know I am an aggressive player," Walker said. "I play aggressive, that is just how I am."  But he also knows that at the collegiate level, for the team to have success, it isn't solely about him. It is a matter of fitting into a team concept and serving a role while also excelling at his individual game.  "It is different," Walker also stated about the college game. "You have been used to starting and everything, but I had to understand and be mature enough to know that I am a freshman playing under guys that have been here in the system, they know the system well, so I had to learn the system. Learn defensively the principles and offensively. It is different. I'm adjusting, still learning."  Walker averaged 6.2 points through his  first six ACC contests. After a 24‐point breakout performance at Virginia Tech, he has averaged 16.5 points in his past two outings. That is a microcosm of his season, where he has been held scoreless on four occasions but also found himself in double figures seven times.  "I know I've been up and down on the season, it is going to happen," Walker said. "I know what I am capable of. I don't try to get down on myself. My coaches keep me up. My teammates keep me up.  "Of course that game, I felt like it gave me confidence," Walker added of his scoring outburst against the Hokies. "For me, I am just doing whatever I can to help my team win. It is not about me."  But an effective Walker, who sees his jump shot falling and scores in a variety of ways, makes FSU an even more dangerous offensive team.  "It was a big game for him definitely to gain his confidence," junior guard Terance Mann said about Walker's showing at Virginia Tech. "He hit a lot of jump shots. A player like him, to see his jump shot falling, definitely is going to help him down the stretch. ... It helped him, it helped us."  Walker said his approach wasn't different, but when things start going well for him on the offensive end, that it can lead to an avalanche of positive results.  "Just playing with confidence," Walker said. "I fed off that energy."  

Head coach Leonard Hamilton didn't  see Walker's performances prior  to his breakout against  the Hokies as him struggling in league play. He sees a lot of positives in what he has brought to the court throughout his freshman campaign. Hamilton added that Walker, a top recruit with high expectations, is now playing without a lot of pressure and his game is blossoming in that situation.  "He plays great defense," Hamilton said. "How many times have you seen a freshman come in that is really going to get after you and defend you with the effort that he gives?  "He sprints the floor every time. He is coachable. He has been positive," Hamilton added. "The only thing is maybe sometimes his jump shot isn't going in and we know he could be one of the top two or three shooters on our team. That is just part of being a freshman, going through the process."  His defensive ability is something he takes pride in. It is also not the normal trait displayed by such a highly regarded scorer.  "For me, I feel like defense creates offense," Walker said. "That is just how I've played my game my whole life is that if you play hard on defense, your offense is always going to come to you. So even when you are having a hot night or a cold night, whatever [on offense], you can always control how hard you play on defense.  "There is a lot of stuff you need to learn," Walker added about FSU's defensive approach. "When I got here it was as far as defense, the principles and the details that we dial in on every day, that I had to learn. Just repetition and keeping it in my mind and just continuing to keep doing it. It was a challenge, but I am still learning."  Walker, who is averaging 8.1 points and 1.6 rebounds per game, has his best ball is ahead of him.  "He is just scratching the surface," Hamilton said. "He is coachable. He is a sponge. He is a guy that seems to be eager to do whatever it takes for the team. He is a great teammate."  Redshirt, Different Role Helping Kabengele Learn His Game  Forward Mfiondu Kebengele arrived at Florida State before the start of the 2016‐17 season, but didn't touch the court as the Seminoles made a run to the NCAA Tournament.  "You want to play. You want to be active. You want to hear the crowd and be a part of the whole hype because we had a really great season," Kabengele said of watching that run from the sidelines, cheering on his teammates.  But in his first year in Tallahassee, he was relegated to the role of a fan and a practice player.   He has no regrets over it though. It is why he is now finding success in his first year on the court.  "It was great because every practice I was with the green team and I had to guard Jon [Jonathan Isaac} Bake [Dwayne Bacon], X [Xavier Rathan‐Mayes] off ball screens and vice‐versa, they had to guard me. I just tried to be aggressive and score over [Michael] Ojo, so I learned a lot," Kabengele said. "I learned how to be more mature. I learned how to stay competitive because those guys are really great players. It was really beneficial for me."  After his redshirt season, Kabengele focused heavily on his diet and workout routine to cut weight and alleviate pain on his knees.  "I was super dedicated," Kabengele said of his offseason regiment.  Hamilton says Kabengele is still growing and that they are extremely pleased with where he is at 20 games into his college career.  

"In evaluating him, we realized his best basketball is ahead of him. That is why we redshirted him last year," Hamilton said. "But he is still learning. He is playing off of instincts. He has good dribbling, passing and shooting skills. Now he doesn't always know exactly how to use them, but something is going to happen when he is on the court.  "But one thing, he plays with such passion and reckless abandon," Hamilton added. "He is extremely competitive and physical. We know that with that type of demeanor he is going to reach his full potential and he does have some potential that we see growing every day in practice."  Kabengele, who is averaging 8.1 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, admits that with each minute he gets, especially in league play, he is learning more about his game.  "The more games that I play in the ACC, I feel like I’m kind of getting the pace of the game, the way the referees are going to officiate the game, and what I can do and what I can’t do," Kabengele said. "Just waiting for my spots to be aggressive and being observant on the court."  Kabengele spoke on figuring out in his first few minutes in a game how officials are going to call a game and his play. He admitted that he enjoys being a physical presence and mixing it up.  Entering  the season, Kabengele expected his  role  to be as a  'four'  in FSU's offense, but with  the  injury to Christ Koumadje he was thrust more into a post/center role. So going forward, he intends to work on ball handling and coming off screens to be effective in the four role.  But for now, he is enjoying his first full season of action while trying to get the most out of the lessons learned a year ago.  "They just told me just maximize the opportunity, because this season, this team is so connected," Kabengele said of the coaching staff. "It is about making sure our preparation is on point." 

 

Mfiondu Kabengele Looking To Turn Heads This Year By Alfy Flores FSView October 29, 2017  Emerging as one of the more recognizable players on the Florida State men’s basketball team, redshirt freshman Mfiondu Kabengele was often known by his good‐natured attitude, enthusiastically supporting his teammates from the sidelines during every game last year.  This year, however, the former three‐star recruit from Ontario, Canada will certainly have the prime opportunity to showcase his abilities—those of which he had improved quite substantially throughout his redshirt year.  “Sitting out a year really helped him understand what he has to do to become a better player. He’s lost 20 pounds since we got back from Jamaica,” FSU head coach Leonard Hamilton says. “He seems to be really focused.”  From last year to this year, the 6‐foot‐9, 235‐pound forward has in fact grown an inch and shed 20 pounds, allowing him  to  become  a  more  versatile  player  that  could  take  on  multiple  positions.  Enduring  a  rigorous  off‐season, Kabengele worked alongside assistant head coach Stan Jones to better his overall game and prepare him for the upcoming season.  Oftentimes the first one in and the last one out of the gym, Kabengele sought to improve on many facets of his game, including his three‐point shot and his overall maturity.  “He’s improved his ball‐handling, passing, and more than anything else, he has improved his understanding of how to play. He is versatile—we can play him at the five, we can play him at the four or the three.”  At  the Seminoles’  first exhibition game of  the season against Central Missouri, Kabengele  finally  set  foot on  the hardwood for his very first game at Florida State. With a seven‐foot wingspan, the redshirt freshman stunned many.   “He works hard. He worked very hard in the off season,” junior guard Terance Mann says. “He was working on all aspects of his game. He thought that rebounding would keep him on the floor and it is working.”  In his first collegiate appearance, Kabengele collected 11 points, nailing five of his eight shots—one of which came from behind the three‐point line. Just a rebound short of a double‐double, the Ontario, Canada native also notched three assists and recorded a block.  “We’ve tried to develop a system of position‐less basketball, with the exception of a post player,” Hamilton says. “When he comes into the game, he gives us another perimeter and post guy who is versatile enough to give us a chance to create some problems for our opponents.”  Kabengele’s  length,  swiftness  and  shooting  abilities  will  certainly  create  mismatches  against  opponents  this upcoming season. Looking to run a new strategy from last year, coach Hamilton will utilize his guard‐heavy squad and have four shooters on the floor alongside a post player. Kabengele’s versatility would allow him to play and thrive at any position on the floor, creating opportunities for the team around him as well as himself.  “He’s done a lot of swimming, he does a lot of extra running, he is watching what he is eating,” Hamilton says. “He seems to be really focused. He’s shown that if you work hard and stay focused, you will get better—he is the perfect example. We are very pleased of the progress he has made.”   Up next for the ’Noles is their final pre‐season exhibition matchup against Thomas University. The Night Hawks head to Tallahassee this upcoming season, which will allow the newcomers to become acclimated with the intensity of college basketball prior to the start of the season. 

“Any time you have six first‐year players, you’re going to have some breakdowns in areas that you have been working on,” Hamilton says. “Our young kids were somewhat nervous—that’s why these games are good. It gives them a chance to get out in front of the public and get those nerves out.” 

M.J. Walker Decides To Specialize In Basketball By Derrick Mahone Douglas Country Sentinel July 31, 2016  M.J. Walker’s basketball prowess was well‐known before he entered high school at Jonesboro High four years ago. He was sort of a local  legend in middle school and already ranked among the top basketball players in freshmen class.  After helping  lead Jonesboro to the first of  two state titles on the Class AAAA  level, Walker seemed destined to specialize in being a one‐sport athlete on the high school level.  However, the spring of his freshman year, Walker decided to give football another try. He missed played football his freshman year because of an injury.  He was a multi‐talent quarterback/defensive back in middle school. At 6‐foot‐4, 200 pounds, he had the talent to play on the varsity level.  He had three college offers from ACC and SEC schools even before he played in his first high school football game. “M.J. is extremely unique” said David Boyd, a retired high school basketball coach with six state championship. “It is something special to be that good in both sports.”  Walker decided a year ago to give up football and just specialize in basketball.  It wasn’t an easy decision for him and his family.  After another  injury going  into his  junior  season, Walker decided  to  just  concentrate on basketball. He  recently returned  from helping  the USA U‐18 Team win a gold medal  and has  several  college offers,  including one  from Kansas.  “It was definitely a tough decision because I wanted to play football,” Walker said. “It was getting harder to recover from those injuries, so I felt like I made the right decision.”  And the coaches and players at Jonesboro have been very supportive.  “M.J.  is  a  special  kid  that plays both  sports at a high  level,”  said  Jonesboro assistant  coach Nate Wardlaw, who coached Walker in both sports. “Injury was the reason as opposed to just giving up football. We told him once he made the decision to go all out in basketball and he has done that. We just didn’t want him to have any regrets about not playing football any more.”  Walker said he hasn’t fully closed the door on football but spends his time now working on basketball, where he is ranked in the top‐5 in the country.  “I’m not saying that I will not play anymore, but right now it’s all about basketball,” Walker said.  Walker’s parents ‐ James and Jackie Walker ‐ both played basketball in college. Jackie Walker played on a national championship team at Hampton University in Virginia.  “It was his decision because we didn’t want to put any more pressure on him,” Jackie Walker said. “It sort of played out the way it did. We knew at some point he had to make that decision.”  Both Walkers agreed that playing multiple sports is good and has helped their son became better in basketball. 

“He had coaches come after him hard in both sports,” James Walker said. “I encourage kids to play multiple sports because you never know what you niche is going to be. At a certain age you start to see what direction you will go in but when you are young, you need to keep playing as many sports as possible.”  NCAA research shows that many of its student‐athletes regret specializing in a sport at a young age. NCAA’s research also found that 30% of elite athletes are specializing in the sport by age 12.  M.J. Walker waited until his junior year to make that decision partly based on injuries. He said he is comfortable with his decision.  “There are no regrets,” he said. “I get some kidding from my classmates but they have really been supportive.”  

Obiagu's Ability To Block Shots Brings Defensive Lift To FSU By Bob Ferrante Noes 247 March 7, 2018 Ike Obiagu grew up playing soccer and volleyball in Nigeria. So when he arrived in the United States, basketball was appealing but also completely new. The basketball basics -- catch, dribble, post up and shoot -- had to be learned. Obiagu had height and size but there was plenty to learn. On the defensive end, Obiagu could lean on his athleticism and instincts. Just like in volleyball, Obiagu could go up and swat away the ball. "When I got over here from Nigeria, I had no offense so I had to do something to get on the floor," Obiagu said. "... My first three years in high school, I got zero playing time. I figured out I got to do something to stay on the floor. I just carried it on with me (to Florida State)." Obiagu's offense is still incredibly raw. But the 7-foot freshman's defense is undeniable. He has 18 blocks in FSU's last three games, which is impressive. But consider that he has 18 blocks in 53 minutes, that equates to a block every 2.94 minutes. That instant defense, a block sparking a fast break and potentially an easy transition basket on the other end, is a key element for the Seminoles (20-10) as they head into the postseason. FSU opens ACC Tournament play on Wednesday against Louisville in a quarterfinal game that could give the Seminoles a 21st win and all but clinch a spot in the NCAA Tournament field. Obiagu has seen his minutes jump, going from single digits for the majority of the ACC season to 19 in the loss at Clemson and then a 21 minutes in the 85-76 victory over Boston College on Saturday. He led the Seminoles with his play in the paint, pulling down a season-high 12 rebounds and swatting a season-best seven blocks. FSU players have routinely been challenged by Obiagu and 7-4 center Christ Koumadje in practice. And now ACC teams are seeing what they've encountered since Obiagu arrived on campus. "Ike is probably by far the best shot blocker I've played with and against," FSU guard Trent Forrest said. "Even in AAU, I played with some pretty good, lengthy 5 men. He's special. His ability to alter and block shots is scary." Obiagu's offensive game is limited. He made just four baskets in eight games in February and March, and his one-handed free-throw attempts are tough to watch. But it’s part of a deconstruction of his technique at the line as FSU coaches re-work his shot and attempt to rebuild it in the offseason. He joked that in high school, he "could not catch anything." That's a bit of an exaggeration for a player who averaged 8.4 points, 9.5 rebounds and 7.2 blocks as a senior at Decatur (Ga.) Greenforest Christian Academy, but Obiagu knows he must finish when he catches passes into the low post. What Obiagu brings is a high level of energy and he is an active defender. Playing a large portion of the second half on Saturday with four fouls, Obiagu wasn't cautious. He sought opportunities to alter or block shots. And while he fouled out with a few minutes to go, his blocks and rebounds in 21 minutes were critical to FSU's win. "I don’t really think about fouls," Obiagu said. "If I see someone looking like they are about to shoot a shot, I just go get it. Maybe that’s something I have to learn. But I go on my instincts."

Obiagu’s Block Party Gives Seminoles A Boost By Tim Linafelt Seminoles.com March 4, 2017 BROOKLYN, N.Y. (seminoles.com) – Given that his college basketball career is only a few months old, Ike Obiagu has adopted a remarkably mature approach to garnering playing time: Focus on one specific aspect of the game, then do it as well as possible. In the 7-foot, 240-pound Obiagu’s case, that thing is blocking shots. And to only say he does it well would be doing the Nigeria native a bit of a disservice. Because over Florida State’s last three games – in which he’s blocked six, five and seven shots, respectively – Obiagu has been blocking at an elite level. No surprise, then, that his minutes have seen an increase too – from 13 to 19 to 21 in what has easily been his busiest stretch in months. “He just has it,” FSU junior Terance Mann said. “There’s some guys who have it and he definitely does. I’ve never seen it before, like that.” While he’s still developing his offensive game, Obiagu’s surge on defense and on the glass have come as a pleasant surprise as the Seminoles navigate the transition from regular to postseason. Not only did he have seven blocks in the Seminoles’ win over Boston College last week, he also grabbed a career-best 12 rebounds. “I’m just having fun out there,” he said. “The coach trusts me to be out on the floor, so I know I’ve got to do something to keep on earning his trust. I’m just blessed that that’s what I do, so I keep on doing it.” The latest in a long line of FSU big men from Nigeria – Obiagu joins Uche Echefu, Solomon Alabi and Michael Ojo – Obiagu grew up playing soccer and volleyball and didn’t work much on basketball until his arrival at Greenforest Christian Academy in Georgia. Obiagu smiles and describes his early days as basketball player as having “no offense.” “My first three years in high school, I got zero playing time,” he said. “I figured out that I’ve got to do something to stay on the floor.” For Obiagu, that might have come a little easier than for most. Because at 7-foot, Obiagu doesn’t need a refined jump shot or a deep repertoire of post moves to make an impact. Between his height and his wingspan, Obiagu can simply get in the way. Just ask his teammates. “It’s definitely hard,” senior forward Phil Cofer said. “Because you don’t know how high he’s going to jump. You think you put it high on the glass, but he’s erasing it.” Added Mann: “I remember he missed one (block attempt), turned around, then jumped back up and blocked it. I don’t know how he does it. He just has a knack for it.”

And, if he keeps it up, Obiagu might find his name ahead of some elite company in the Florida State record books. His 63 blocks this season are already the eighth-most all-time at FSU, and just 12 behind Corey Louis (74) for the most ever by a Florida State freshman. (Obiagu is third, Solomon Alabi is second with 73). With Florida State set to begin postseason play against Louisville on Wednesday, notching 12 more blocks by the end of the year may be a tall order. But, then again, another glance at the stat sheet shows that Obiagu is more than capable of the feat. “He’s much further along (at this stage of his career) than some of the other big guys that we’ve had in the past,” FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said. “Solomon Alabi, guys like that, he’s surpassed them already with just his knowledge of the game, his ability to absorb things. “But one thing that’s apparent, he can rebound and block shots.”
