I like their coach Leonard Hamilton. He's a class act and a very good coach. Will never forget the Keyontae game when he and their team showed so much class and caring. Was happy to see their win last night. =============== Florida State men's basketball coach Leonard Hamilton said the scene Saturday following the collapse of Florida player Keyontae Johnson on the court was jarring and emotional in the huddle. "Several players on my team have had experiences (similar to Johnson's collapse) and were very emotional as a result," Hamilton told USA TODAY Sports on Monday. "I was moved by the outpouring of emotions from them. Several guys were crying uncontrollably in the huddle after it happened. I told the guys, 'There's only one thing we can do right now is pray.' "One of my players was so emotional that after the timeout he was still crying. I did not realize it was still on his mind but then a (referee) came and told me. Then I realized what was going on was really, really deep." FSU coach Leonard Hamilton on emotions of Keyontae Johnson's collapse

A steady, reliable and hard-hitting guard, Dawkins was a Little All-American in 1951 and was named to the All-Florida college team in 1950 and 1951. He became the first FSU football player selected to play in a postseason all-star game when he played in both the North-South and Senior Bowl games. He was a Seminole team captain in 1951.
