Mets extend losing streak to 11 games after falling in extra innings
Mets extend their losing streak to 11 games after a tough loss to the Cubs in extra innings.
Florida State's basketball team is undergoing significant changes ahead of the 2026-27 season, with four transfer additions and six high school signees reshaping the roster. An updated projection of the starting lineup has been released.
When the transfer portal window closes on April 21, Luke Loucks will close the books on what has been the most aggressive and consequential offseason in his young tenure at Florida State. Four portal additions, six high school signees and a critical returning piece have completely reshaped the Seminoles' roster from top to bottom in just two weeks.
FSU has assembled a group that blends immediate production with long-term depth in a way the program hasn't seen in years. With the roster now largely in place, here is an updated way-too-early projection of how the 2026-27 Seminoles could look come November.
The homecoming headliner is the natural fit at the point. Robinson, a Tallahassee native who attended Florida High and spent three years in the SEC at Missouri, averaged 8.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals per game this past season before choosing to come home.
Robinson was FSU's third portal addition of the cycle and arrives having already established himself as one of the conference's elite on-ball defenders as he was the only underclassman named to the SEC All-Defensive Team in 2024-25.
The offensive centerpiece of the portal haul steps in as FSU's potential primary scoring option on Day 1. Taylor averaged 18.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game this past season, earning Big South All-Conference First Team honors as the league's leading scorer.
The 6-foot-7 wing's ability to create off the bounce, attack the rim, and draw contact gives FSU an offensive weapon it simply did not have a season ago.
The one returning piece Loucks absolutely needed to keep is back and primed for a breakout. Bassong elected to forego the transfer portal and remain at FSU after a freshman campaign in which he emerged as one of the team's most important players down the stretch.
The 6-foot-8 French forward brings physicality, rebounding toughness, and two-way versatility to a starting lineup that now surrounds him with far more talent than he had a year ago. A full offseason as the roster's most experienced holdover should accelerate his offensive development considerably.
Florida State has added four transfers, including Anthony Robinson II from Missouri, as part of their roster overhaul.
The transfer portal window closes on April 21, which is crucial for finalizing the roster for the upcoming season.
Florida State has signed six high school players as part of their recruitment strategy for the 2026-27 season.
The roster has been reshaped with four transfer additions, six high school signees, and the return of a critical player, marking a significant offseason for the team.

The most significant portal addition of the cycle slots in at the four and immediately elevates the front court to a level that can compete in the ACC. Rancik, a 6-foot-11 sophomore, started 26 of 29 appearances for Colorado this past season and averaged 12.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 28.1 minutes per game while shooting 40.4 percent from the field and 33.1 percent from three.
His ability to stretch the defense from the power forward spot, pass out of the high post, and protect the rim gives Loucks a positionally versatile front-court piece capable of thriving in the modern ACC.
The crown jewel of FSU's nationally ranked recruiting class anchors the paint. Ponder is ranked among the top-100 national recruits in the 2026 class and arrives as a 6-foot-11, 260-pound interior force whose combination of size, rebounding instincts, and shot-blocking ability gives the Seminoles a true defensive anchor down low.
Ponder and Rancik together give FSU one of the most physically imposing front-court combinations in the entire ACC — a pairing that could define the program for years to come.
The former McDonald's All-American brings elite pedigree and enormous upside to a frontcourt that is suddenly overflowing with talent. FSU already has more transfers from major conference schools this cycle than they did all of last year, and Abaev headlined that group when he committed earlier this month.
A healthy Abaev pushing Rancik and Ponder for minutes is a problem every program in the ACC would love to have.
The reclassified early enrollee and one of FSU's most electric perimeter prospects brings pace and defensive instincts to the backcourt rotation. His upside as a contributor from the jump is among the highest on the entire roster.
The son of NBA executive James Jones brings high-character toughness and scoring versatility to the backcourt depth chart. Jones compiled 1,762 career points, the second-highest total in Phoenix Country Day School history, and was named region Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year as a senior while leading his team to a 25-2 record and a state semifinal appearance.
The younger Robinson brother adds depth and defensive toughness to the backcourt. Both Robinson brothers were coached by now-Florida A&M head coach Charlie Ward during their prep years at Florida State University School — a Tallahassee connection that runs as deep as any in the program's history.
