Florida State has almost an entirely new roster surrounding Jamir Watkins. Plus, a projected starting lineup and depth chart
Seven other players transferred out. Baba Miller tested the NBA Draft waters before pulling his name out and transferring to Florida Atlantic, which has a new head coach. Miller had a tumultuous two years in Tallahassee between shin splints, a bogus 16-game NCAA suspension, and a differing opinion on what his role should be. It made sense for both sides to move on here.
Jalen Warley transferred to Virginia for his final season of college basketball and is on an… odd roster (more on this in the ACC preview coming next week). He initially chose FSU over Virginia out of high school and will finish playing for Tony Bennett. Personally, I thought his transferring was the biggest surprise of the offseason. He had grown into a valued leader in that locker room and started to play well in the latter half of ACC play but he still fell well short of the expectations he had coming out of high school.
Cam Corhen also transferred to an ACC school, as he now plays for the Pittsburgh Panthers. They have an intriguing frontcourt with him and the Diaz Graham twins, but I don’t think he was a great fit for FSU’s system. FSU generally likes their bigs to be great rebounders and paint protectors, and he wasn’t really either of those (partially because of FSU’s scheme). He is very talented offensively but it’s tough to provide as little defensively as he did.
Primo Spears is now on his fourth different team in four years, now suiting up for the UTSA Roadrunners. Four schools in four years. I don’t think I need to say much else.
Cam’Ron Fletcher is going to attempt to play basketball again after back-to-back ACL tears on the same knee, as he transferred to Xavier this offseason. He’s a talented player, but hopefully, that knee stays intact this year.
De’Ante Green, who fell out of the rotation by the end of last season, transferred to USF. Tom House, a reserve who saw little playing time, transferred to Furman.
