Florida State men's basketball has landed a transfer commitment from Kameron Taylor, a guard from UNC Asheville. Taylor averaged 18.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists last season and is the second transfer commitment for the Seminoles this offseason.

Why it matters

The addition of Taylor provides a scoring boost for the Seminoles, who are looking to build on an 18-15 season in head coach Luke Loucks' first year. Taylor's commitment, along with the arrival of Cincinnati transfer Shon Abaev, should help offset the departures of several key players from last year's roster.

The details

Taylor visited the Seminoles program on Sunday and Monday after a prior visit to Kansas. The guard had a breakout season for UNC Asheville as a sophomore, leading the team in scoring and making 30 starts for the Bulldogs. FSU is still expected to add more depth in the transfer portal, with Tallahassee native Anthony Robinson II and Colorado transfer forward Sebastian Rancik also visiting the program.
