Florida State made another pair of transfer portal additions official on Tuesday, announcing the signings of brothers Anthony Robinson II from Missouri and Amare Robinson from Tallahassee State College:

Anthony, a Tallahassee native, played his first three seasons at Missouri and was an All-SEC Defensive Team selection as a sophomore.

“Anthony is exactly what you look for in a point guard – tough, vocal, and someone who naturally commands respect,” Loucks said. “He’s grown a lot over his three years at Missouri, and bringing him back home to Tallahassee means a lot to our program. We expect him to step in right away and lead, not just on the court but in how we work, prepare, and represent Florida State every day. We believe that with Anthony’s defensive intensity and offensive skill, he can be one of the most well-rounded and productive point guards in the ACC.”

Amare played his freshman season at Tallahassee State College after a productive prep career at Florida State University School.

“Amare is a young player with a bright future because of how he approaches the game,” Loucks said. “He’s unselfish, he’s coachable, and he understands what it means to be a great teammate. The Robinson family is special, and we’re excited to have them fully part of our program. Amare is going to develop the right way here and make a real impact over time.” The Seminoles, however, saw a last-minute entrance into the portal from Thomas Bassong, who previously announced intentions to return to Tallahassee: FSU women’s basketball announced a transfer portal signing of its own, with Brooke Wyckoff landing Timaya Lewis-Eutsey from Marshall: A playmaker with speed and competitive toughness is coming to town 🍢

Welcome to the family, Timaya‼️
