The recently-constructed revamped front office at FSU needed some early wins, and they got them in the way of some important pieces being retained.
Wide receiver Duce Robinson was the big story. Robinson transferred to FSU last season from USC and quickly became FSU's top option at wide receiver. The chances of the Seminoles convincing him to stay another year wasn't as surprising as some other retentions because Robinson's NFL draft stock could be improved (he was a likely Day 3 selection, maybe a fringe Day 2 guy with great testing).

As good as Robinson was for FSU, keeping the 1,000-yard receiver was expected.
