FLORIDA STATE SEMINOLES (0-0, 0-0 ACC) VS. JACKSONVILLE DOLPHINS (0-0, 0-0 A-SUN) FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2013; 8:00 P.M. ESPN3 (ROB WILSON AND JACOB RIDENHOUR) DONALD L. TUCKER CENTER (12,100) TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA “Okaro White is precisely the sort of player Leonard Hamilton has relied upon to build this program: rangy, athletic and willing to defend and block shots, all while steadily improving his polish. His ability to punish opponents inside and occasionally on the perimeter ensures that he’ll be a centerpiece as a senior.” 2013-14 Sporting News College Basketball Preview Issue FLORIDA STATE OPENS 2013-14 SEASON AGAINST JACKSONVILLE Florida State, which has played in four of the last five NCAA Tournaments and has made a school-record eight consecutive postseason tournament appearances, opens its 67th season of basketball as it plays host to Jacksonville on November 8, 2013 at 8:00 p.m. at the Donald L.

White and Miller, a pair of fourth-year Seminoles, along with Turpin and Gilchrist, two junior college transfers, have all played in the postseason and will look to close their careers in the NCAA Tournament. Florida State played in a school record four consecutive NCAA Tournaments (20092012) and won the ACC Championship in 2012 before playing in the NIT in 2013. SEMINOLES TO PLAY IN BRAND NEW ACC IN 2014 Called by many the best conference in the history of college basketball, Florida State will play in the new look ACC with the additions of perennial national powers Notre Dame, Pitt and Syracuse to their already incredibly tough conference schedule.

Quoting Florida State Men’s Basketball “I want my degree, that’s number one.” Okaro White Florida State Basketball Sept. 2, 2013 “Ian Miller is an explosive scoring point guard who can shoot the ball.” Jeff Goodman CBSSports.com Oct. 22, 2012 “Okaro White is hoping to lead the Seminoles back to the NCAA tournament following a one-year hiatus. White ranked second on the team in scoring (12.4 PPG) as a junior and shot an impressive 81 percent from the free throw line. The loss of clutch guard Michael Snaer to graduation means the onus will be on White. The 6-8 White is versatile and athletic enough to excel both in the paint and on the perimeter, although he needs to improve his accuracy (31 percent) from 3-point range.” Jason King ESPN.com August 15, 2013 “No college basketball conference in the country can match the ACC following the latest phases of realignment that kicked into effect in July. This is truly a megaconference when it comes to college hoops.” Jason King ESPN.com July 23, 2013 “You really can’t say enough about Okaro White’s development in his three years in Tallahassee. When he arrived in 2010-11, he was an athletic defender and rebounder. Last season, he posted a 117.6 offensive rating and made 25 of his 80 3-point attempts. Jason King ESPN.com July 23, 2013 “The 6-8 Okaro White is versatile and athletic enough to excel in both the paint and on the perimeter.” Eamon Brannon ESPN.com July 23, 2013 “Just as much as I want to push my on-thecourt [leadership] skills, I want to push my off the court skills. When the season starts, just show how these young guys need to be living and what type of things they need to cut out. I’m more focusing on that before the season starts and when the season starts, you can’t ask too much but, for guys to give their best, and try to pay attention in practice, and when you step on the court to have your game face on.” Okaro White Florida State Basketball Sept. 2, 2013 “Perhaps his greatest offensive ability, however, in terms of helping the team, is his three-point shooting. Not in so much as his ability to make three pointers, he is merely a 31 percent shooter, but his ability to stretch the defense with the threat of that shot.” David Walker FSView April 18, 2013

SEMINOLES’ HAMILTON LISTED AMONG TOP 30 COACHES IN COUNTRY Florida State’s Leonard Hamilton, who has led the Seminoles to four of the last five NCAA Tournaments, was named as one of the nation’s top 30 coaches in a survey completed by Athlon Sports. He was rated as the sixth-best coach in the ACC and the 27th best coach in the nation by the sports publication. “Leonard Hamilton knows something about degree of difficulty: He has won a share of the Big East regular-season title at Miami and an ACC Tournament title at Florida State. After losing seasons in ACC play in five of his first six years at FSU, Hamilton has gone 52-30 in the conference in the last four seasons. The defensive-minded Hamilton turned FSU into a factor in the ACC.” CHARLTON “C.Y.” YOUNG ADDED TO HAMILTON’S COACHING STAFF Florida State basketball coach Leonard Hamilton added Charlton Young, a veteran of more than 15 years as a coach on the Division I level and most recently the head coach at Georgia Southern, to his coaching staff. Young is involved in all phases of the Seminoles' nationally respected program including game preparation, player development, recruiting and planning for the upcoming 2013-14 season. Young comes to Florida State after four seasons as the head coach at Georgia Southern (2010-2013). Young replaced Corey Williams on Hamilton's staff; Williams was named the head coach at Stetson University on June 3, 2013.

SEASON-OPENING SEMINOLE NOTES …Florida State’s largest margin of victory in a season opener came in a 133-79 (+54) victory over UCF on Nov. 25, 1978. The 54-point victory stands as the seventh largest margin of victory in school history; …The most points scored by a Florida State opponent in a season opener is 97 by Georgia Southern in a 109-97 victory by Florida State to open the 1972-73 season on Dec. 1, 1973; …The fewest number of points scored in a season opener was 39 against Spring Hill College in a 39-36 victory by Florida State to open the 1947-48 season on Dec. 10, 1947. That game was the first in the history of the Seminole men’s basketball program; …Florida State has scored 100 points or more nine times in a season opener – most recently the Seminoles defeated Florida Atlantic, 110-59, to open the 1993-94 season on Dec. 1, 1993. …Florida State is 5-0 against Jacksonville in season-opening games with wins on Nov. 26, 1991 (100-91), Nov. 19, 2005 (78-48), Nov. 15, 2008 (59-57), Nov. 16, 2009 (87-61) and Nov. 11, 2011 (79-67). SEMINOLES TO FACE CHALLENGING SCHEDULE Florida State will play host to ACC newcomers Notre Dame and Syracuse for the first time in school history, host North Carolina and travel to play at Pittsburgh, Florida and Minnesota on its 2013-14 schedule. The Seminoles will play at least nine teams who played in last season's NCAA Tournament, may play two of the Final Four participants and could play as many as 20 of its 30 regular season games against teams who played in a national postseason tournament a year ago. Florida State's schedule in the new ACC with the additions of Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Syracuse could be considered the toughest schedule the Seminoles have ever faced. A total of 15 teams that finished in the top 100 of the RPI a season ago - including No. 1 Duke, No. 4 Miami, No. 8 Florida, No. 10 Syracuse, No. 11 Michigan, No. 19 North Carolina, No. 26 VCU and No. 30 Minnesota -- are on the Seminoles' schedule. OKARO WHITE’S RECORD WATCH Senior All-American candidate Okaro White, who has played in 103 consecutive games, enters his senior season looking to move up the Seminoles all-time career charts in a number of statistical categories. He has never missed a game during his career and needs only 34 games played to become Florida State’s all-time leader in the games played category, is ranked sixth in school history with a .799 career free throw shooting percentage, 19th in school history with 267 career free throws made and 21st in school history with 67 career blocked shots.
The Last Hurrah: On the Leadership, Challenges and Expectations of Okaro White By David Walker FSView April 18, 2013
WHITE FROM THE 3-POINT LINE All-American candidate Okaro White enters the 2013-14 season ranked second among the current Seminoles with 45 career 3-point field goals made. He made his career high of 25 shots from the bonusphere in 34 games as a junior – more than he made (20) in 69 games in the first two seasons of his career. White made his junior season high of three long range shots in Florida State’s win over Maine on December 9, 2012 and made his career high of four 3-point field goals made in the Seminoles’ win at Hawaii on Dec. 22, 2010.
This year is Okaro White’s collegiate swan song, and he knows it. Senior year holds a certain amount of trepidation for anyone; it’s basically a practice in anxious juggling of both the present and the future.

Now when your future may be the NBA and your present could go a long way in establishing your legacy at FSU, things may get even more complex.
WHITE AMONG ALL-TIME CAREER SEMINOLE LEADERS IN CAREER FREE THROW PERCENTAGE All-American candidate Okaro White enters his senior season ranked sixth in school history with a .799 career free throw shooting percentage – he is just one of eight Florida State players who is (has finished their careers) shooting .790 percent or better from the free throw line for his career.
“I know a lot of people will say that they are just focused,” White said. “But as a person as young as me going into his senior year, it’s tough not to think about it. I think you just have to find ways, like when it’s game time, to ease it to the side because it’s not going to leave your head.”

That is the crux of every senior’s dilemma: Keeping things in the moment when your whole life is right in front of your face. But White also understands the power of now, and how much he still wants to accomplish before he graduates. “I want to get my degree, that’s number one. Number two is just getting to these young guys, I’d appreciate it if they said, or if the MO of me when I leave, was that he went hard, he tried hard, he played hard, he tried to get the guys around him to play just as hard to win.” White is refreshingly self-aware; he sets lofty goals, but ones he knows he has a chance at achieving. There is a saying that happiness equals reality divided by expectations, and if that is true then the forward is probably going to be a very happy person. When asked what kind of player he thought he could be in the NBA, he didn’t say the usual Kobe and LeBron, he said Tayshaun Prince and Tony Allen. He admired the grinders, the ones who make their living by working hard, knowing their role and playing it well. “My goal is to be [part of] the best team that we’ve had since I’ve been here, that’s all I ask for.” Last season the team was under a singular leader, Michael Snaer, who stood as the lone senior on a team rife with inexperience. This year is a little different. White will not have to shoulder the heavy burden of leadership alone, as Ian Miller and Kiel Turpin flank him as peers. But that doesn’t mean White will not have to embrace this new role with any less fervor than Snaer did. “Just as much as I want to push my on-thecourt [leadership] skills, I want to push my off the court skills. When the season starts, just show how these young guys need to be living and what type of things they need to cut out.

He led the team with a single season career-high 38 blocked shots and was tied for the team lead with 33 steals during the 2012-13 season. White and Clemson’s K.J. McDaniels were the only two players in the ACC last season who recorded at least 30 blocked shots and at least 30 steals. Former Seminoles Douglas Edwards (1991, 1992 and 1993) and Chris Singleton (2008 and 2009) are the only two players in school history to reach both milestones in at least two consecutive seasons. 30-30 Blocked Shots and Steals Players At Florida State Player Year 1 Year 2 Douglas Edwards 1990-91 1991-92 Chris Singleton 2008-09 2009-10

TURPIN LOOKS TO CLIMB UP CAREER BLOCKED SHOTS LIST Redshirt senior Kiel Turpin, who ranked eighth in the ACC in blocked shots in his first season as a Seminole, enters the 2013-14 season as one of the top shot blockers in the ACC. His contribution of blocked shots helped Florida State rank as the ACC blocked shots leader in each of the last four years. He was one of six players in the ACC who ranked in top 10 for blocked shots and shot better than .500 from the field in 2012-13. He returns as the fourth leading shot blocker in the ACC with 43 blocked shots and a 1.26 blocked shots per game average.

The Last Hurrah: On the Leadership, Challenges and Expectations of Okaro White (continued from page 4)
I’m more focusing on that before the season starts and when the season starts, you can’t ask too much but, for guys to give their best, and try to pay attention in practice, and when you step on the court to have your game face on.” Leadership is something earned through repeat example. You don’t just develop good habits and make good decisions for yourself anymore, you do it because you know the eyes of the team are always on you. “I believe a great leader starts off of the court, so you can get these guys trusting in you, following you therefore they’re going to play for you harder and give their best on the court.” As far as his game is concerned, White talked about letting himself drift out toward the perimeter, while not to forget what his bread and butter is. I’ve stressed the need for FSU to embrace him as a stretch four and he seemed more than open-minded toward the idea. However, he still stressed that the biggest thing he wants to work on is his rebounding. “The way we are trying to get our offense going is, a lot of our fours are going to have to step out and hit shots so we can have the respect there so they can’t all crowd into the lane cause we want to drive a lot this year. I’ll definitely be shooting threes this year and shooting a lot of jump shots. But at the same time I want to have an inside out kind of game going on.” Okaro White is on the precipice of the rest of his life, and all signs point to this year being one hell of a leap. It’s obvious he’s ready for the challenge. Where White Stands In Florida State’s Record Book… …Okaro White enters his senior season with 912 career points and needs only 88 points to become only the 43rd player in school history to score 1,000 or more career points; …Okaro White enters his senior season ranked sixth in school history with a .799 career free throw shooting percentage. He is looking to become one of only six players in school history to have a free throw shooting percentage of 80 percent or better for his career; …Okaro White enters his senior season ranked 19th in school history with 267 career free throws made. He needs only 33 made free throws to become the 14th player in school history with 300 or more career free throws made; …Okaro White enters his senior season ranked 21st in school history with 67 career blocked shots. He needs only 33 blocked shots to become the 13th player in school history with 100 or more blocked shots and needs only 18 to move into the Seminoles' top 15 for career blocked shots.
TURPIN—LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON Senior center Kiel Turpin takes after his father Mel, who played for Kentucky from 1981-84. Kiel finished the 2013 season as the Seminoles’ leader and ranked eighth in the ACC with a 1.3 blocked shots per game average. Mel is second in career blocked shots at Kentucky with 123 career blocked shots and a 1.8 blocked shots per game average during his career. Mel led the Wildcats in blocked shots with 67 in 1982 and 83 in 1983. Kiel led Lincoln College in Illinois in blocked shots as a freshman (2.0 bpg) and as a sophomore (2.3 bpg). Besides the father-son relationship, both Kiel and Mel were recruited by and coached by Seminole head coach Leonard Hamilton in college.

MILLER IS READY TO PLAY Senior Ian Miller, who played in 30 of the Seminoles’ 34 games, is ready to suit up and return to the starting lineup. Miller, who averaged 18.8 minutes a game and missed virtually the entire month of December, did not practice with the Seminoles during the final three months of the season and did not play in Florida State’s final game against Louisiana Tech in the NIT due to a recurring injury to his right foot. He took the offseason to fully heal and is now ready to play for the 2013-14 season. Even with the decline in playing due to his foot injury, Miller increased his assists total by more than 20 from the 2011-12 season. A member of two NCAA Tournament teams (2011 and 2012), the Seminoles' first ACC Championship team (2012) and one NIT team, he enters his senior season ranked 25th with 81 3-point FGM and needs 19 made shots from the bonusphere to become only the 19th player in school history to reach 100 for his career. He starts the 2013-14 season as a leading returner ranked second on the team in assists (52) and steals (23), with an over .500 free throw percentage and fifth on the team in minutes played. Miller, the second most experienced player with 75 career games played, looks to increase his role as the ball handler and scorer for his final season as a Seminole. BOOKERT GOES UP IN THE RECORD BOOKS Point guard Devon Bookert makes his way in the school record book for assists and scoring. He climbed to the top of the 3-point percentage ladder for having a percentage over .500 for a season. He is ranked fifth among Seminole freshmen with his 80 assists during his rookie season, fifth in three point shots made as a freshman with 32 and is tied for eighth with Granville Arnold (1982-83) and Michael Snaer (2009-10) for free throws made as a freshman. Bookert comes back into the Seminoles’ line up for the 2013-14 season as the leading returner in assists with 80 and free throw percentage (.818) and is the second leading returner in minutes played with 730 minutes played last season and the second in points (220). Look for Bookert to show off his finesse ball handling skills by improving his assist/turnover ratio in the 2013-14 season. BOOKERT AMONG TOP YOUNG PLAYERS IN ACC Sophomore Devon Bookert, who enters his first full season as the Seminoles’ starting point guard for the 2013-14 season, enjoyed a strong first season in Tallahassee as evidenced by his statistics. He played as one of the top freshman in a league of strong freshmen and ranked in the top four in 3-point field goal shooting percentage (first, .525). free throw percentage (fourth, .818) and assists (fourth, 2.4 apg).

NOTING MONTAY BRANDON Florida State returns one of the most experience first-year players from last year’s team, Montay Brandon, for the 201314 season. The combo guard enters the 2013-14 season ranked third among the Seminoles’ returning players in minutes played after averaging 19.8 minutes per game. He finished his freshman season ranked third in assists with 47 last season. Brandon, who gained experience as a freshman with 22 starts looks to add depth to the team with his veteran expertise. AARON THOMAS RETURNS AS A LEADER Sophomore Aaron Thomas, who played 18.6 minutes per game and averaged 6.0 points per game, returns as one of four returning starters for Florida State after starting 12 games for the Seminoles including the final 11 games of the season in 2012-13. Florida State was 4-2 in games where he scored 10 or more points. Thomas returns to the 2013-14 Seminoles team listed third among the returning leaders in steals (22), scoring (6.0 ppg) and free throw percentage (.700). Thomas, who is known as one of the Seminoles’ toughest players and the team’s vocal leaders, looks to increase his playing time as one of the Seminoles top scorers. NOTING BOJANOVSKY Center Boris Bojanovsky, the tallest player in Florida State history, returns as one of the leading scorers for the 2013-14 season. Bojanovsky leads the 2013-14 team in field goal percentage as he shot .511 in 33 games played last season. He is the third leading returning free throw percentage shooter after Devon Bookert (.818) and Okaro White (.815) with a .758 percentage. BOJANOVSKY SWATS AWAY Sophomore Boris Bojanovsky finished the 2012-13 season ranked third on the team and fifth among freshmen in the ACC in total blocked shots with 25. He ended the season ranked ninth at Florida State for most blocked shots as a freshman. He looks to climb into the Seminoles’ record book for blocked shots and also looks to break the block shots record for sophomores, which is currently held by Solomon Alabi with 75 blocks. Bojanovsky played in 33 of the Seminoles’ 34 games his first collegiate season and averaged 11.1 minutes of playing time. Bojanovsky’s career high of four blocked shots came in the Seminoles’ victory at Maryland (January 9) with three each coming against Wake Forest (February 26) and North Carolina (March 3).
