No. 5 Florida State (5 Commits)

After losing four starters from last year’s team, the Seminoles lose a lot of talent, including two draft picks.

Ranked as high as fourth in the country at one point last season, they struggled in their consistency towards the end of the year.

Enter, two top 60 talents and the Seminoles will look to bounce back after a disappointing early exit in the NCAA tournament.

It was arguably the best Florida State team in years but the ending to the season will certainly sting fans for years to come.

2017 Commits:

  • M.J. Walker (Jonesboro, GA): 6-5, 205 lbs, SG, Rank – 25
  • Ikechukwu Obiagu (Decatur, GA): 7-0, 230 lbs, C, Rank – 63
  • RaiQuan Gray (Ft Lauderdale, FL): 6-8, 240 lbs, PF, Rank – NR
  • Anthony Polite (Boca Raton, FL): 6-6, 210 lbs, SG, Rank – NR
  • Wyatt Wilkes (Winter Park, FL): 6-7, 200 lbs, PF, Rank – NR

It wouldn’t be a true Florida State team if they didn’t have an extremely athletic, and long, frontcourt player – from Jonathan Isaac to Ibiagu, shot blocking will be a norm for the Seminoles.

With just their second one and done player in their history in Jonathon Isaac, watch out for Walker to be the third in as many seasons with a good year.

Walker is the prize of the Seminoles class, ranked No. 25 in the nation. Can he lead the Seminoles back to the tournament?
