Gospel of Ham: Tipping off the Luke Loucks era -- Looking at FSU's new staff, team and schedule ahead of season

About this episode

The episode discusses the new head coach Luke Loucks and the changes in the Florida State basketball program ahead of the season.

For the first time in 22 years, Florida State basketball will be led by a new head basketball coach. Luke Loucks, returning back to his alma mater to replace longtime legend Leonard Hamilton, has hit reset in Tallahassee, bringing in a new staff and essentially an entire new roster as he looks to revitlize a program that’s been stuck in neutral (and reverse, on too many occasions) for the past few seasons. On the latest episode of The Gospel of Ham (listen, the man earned the podcast title), Matt Minnick and Michael Rogner break down this year’s edition of the Seminoles, ranging from the staff that Loucks has put together, the players that’ll be taking the court this season and the schedule they’ll be going up against.
