ON KABENGELE: His emergence as one of the Seminoles’ top players has put Florida State in a position to be ranked among the nation’s elite teams entering the 2018-19 season…his improvement, work ethic and play in the 2018 NCAA Tournament has put him on the brink of becoming one of the top players in all of college …a member of Florida State’s NCAA Tournament teams in both 2017 and 2018…his incredible work with Seminoles’ Associate Head Coach Stan Jones during his redshirt season (2016-17) allowed him to gain confidence and increase his ability which allowed him to quickly become both an offensive and defensive force in his first season as a Seminole in the ACC and nationally…dedicated himself to the game as he lost weight, reshaped his body and increased his physicality which allowed him to show his dominating presence throughout the 2017-18 season…his redshirt season also allowed him to observe, learn and study the game of basketball for the first time in his career…his workouts with Jones consisted of conditioning, ball handling and learning how to take the basketball to the rim…said Kabengele during his redshirt season: “It was tough, the amount of reps we got in and the hours we put in. It was tough, especially on the body. Every time we did the workout, I always felt like I got a little better.” …his improvement also came quickly as he practiced with and against future NBA players Jonathan Isaac, Dwayne Bacon, and Xavier Rathan-Mayes during his redshirt season… "It was great because every practice I had to guard Jon, Bake and X [Xavier Rathan‐Mayes] off ball screens and vice‐versa, they had to guard me. I just tried to be aggressive and score over Michael Ojo, so I learned a lot. I learned how to be more mature. I learned how to stay competitive because those guys are really great players. It was really beneficial for me,” he said as one of the great definitions of why the Seminole coaching staff asked Kabengele to consider a redshirt season upon his arrival as a true freshman in 2016…he has since focused heavily on his diet and workout routine to lose weight and alleviate pain on his knees…quickly developed into one of the Seminoles’ most versatile players who gained the ability to play close to the basket and guard smaller players outside of the lane…is extremely competitive and physical…often had to play the position during his redshirt freshman season for the Seminoles because of the injury to starting center Christ Koumadje that forced the 7-4 rim protector to miss 11 games in the heart of the season…helped Florida State earn a 9-2 record during Koumadje’s absence from Nov. 22 through Jan. 3…in his second season as a member of the Seminole basketball team after redshirting as a freshman…one of the Seminoles’ hardest workers and best teammates who is a great personality inside the Seminoles’ locker room…a smart rebounder who has the ability to outrebound his opponent because of a high basketball IQ and quick jumping abilities…his ability to get up off of the floor has also helped him develop into a first-rate shot blocker…has been measured with a 7-1 wingspan…ranked as the 65th best prep player nationally by 247sports.com entering college for the 2016-17 season…ranked as a top-10 player in the state of Indiana according to 247sports.com following his prep season at Don Bosco…academically talented as he helped the Seminoles earn a team Academic Excellence Award from the NABC for the 2016-17 season…named to the 2018 All-ACC Academic Basketball Team…earned the Unsung Hero Award at the Florida State Basketball Banquet in 2017 as presented by the Seminole coaching staff…named the Seminoles’ Most Improved Player and shared the Dave Cowens Chairman of The Boards award at Florida State’s 2018 season-ending Honors Banquet…was a guard in high school until the end of his junior season when he grew three inches and began his senior season at 6-7.
