Lead Story

After a first Elite Eight run in 25 years, many are high of Florida State hoops for 2018-19 and a sophomore swingman.

According to a July 5 piece from ESPN that ranks the most exciting player for each team in the publication’s “Way-Too-Early Top 25”, M.J. Walker was given the nod for the Seminoles.
