Gospel of Ham: Breaking down roster changes, potential assistant coach hires, non-conference matchups

Summer break? Not for the Tomahawk Nation basketball boys.

In the latest episode of The Gospel of Ham, our FSU basketball-focused podcast, hosts Matt Minnick and Michael Rogner cover the major roster changes, including the departure of key players like Primo Spears, Darin Green Jr., and Jalen Warley while also tackling the pleasant surprise found in the return of last year’s leading rebounder and scorer Jamir Watkins after his flirtation with the NBA Draft and transfer portal.

The hosts also highlight the potential of incoming freshmen and transfers while stressing the need for improved defensive rebounding and reduced fouling.

Minnick and Rogner also offer some speculation and insight on who might fill the vacant assistant coach position and discuss the latest updates to the Seminoles’ schedule, including matchups in the James Naismith Classic and the SEC-ACC Challenge against LSU.
