![]() Coaches Bud Kennedy and Bim Stults |
Faurest Coogle, 6-3, 184, F, Louisville, KY - One of the promising sophs up from the once-beaten frehman team, Coogle may miss early part of season with a shoulder dislocation. A tough competitor who prepped at Louisville's Shawnee high, Faurest is good shot, should provide bench strength when recovered.
Wally Dale, 6-0, 163, G, Coral Gables
Clyde Eads, 6-5, 180, C, Saint Clairsville, OH - A loose, easy playing style and excellent spring in legs make this transfer from West Liberty, WV, move into the frontline picture. Eads has fine potential and sense of timing but must get oriented with team's offensive patterns. With effort and hard work, Clyde could challenge for starting center position.
Bobby Ek, 6-3, 162, F, Jacksonville
Charlie Long, 6-4, 190, F, Louisville, KY - Scoring leader of last year's freshman team, when he hit a fantastic 62 percent of his shots and averaged 25 points a game, Long's shooting talent may earn him a starting spot for a long while to come. Deadly with a long, arching one-hand shot, the erstwhile Louisville Eastern High player needs varsity experience but has the tools.
Dale Reeves, 6-7, 223, C, Louisville, KY
Dale Ricketts, 6-1, 170, G, Versailles, IN - More confidence could help this fine-feeding soph become a dangerous backcourt man. A lefthanded shooter who loves to drive, Dale is in thick of battle for a first-team guard nomination. Second-best point producer as a freshman, Ricketts should draw numerous fouls on his dashes under the basket.
After January 31, 1961, Dale Ricketts was lost to the team because of grades.

Lettermen from the Florida Times Union, 4/16/1961, page 44.
Article talks about signing recruit John Oblizano who never played for FSU. In the article, the following was mentioned: "Coach Bud Kennedy said, 'John is the finest basketball prospect we have signed
since Dave Fedor entered FSU in 1958.' Fedor, an All-American honorable mention forward this year, will play his senior year for the Seminoles next season."
