Florida State is rebuilding its roster this offseason and, once again, the NCAA transfer portal is going to factor heavily into head coach Mike Norvell's efforts.

The transfer portal officially opened on January 2 and lasts for 15 days through January 16. Players only have to appear in the database by the conclusion of the window. As long as they are in the portal, they can commit at any point after that.
