Florida State Basketball's first campaign under the direction of head coach Luke Loucks ended on a strong note.

The Seminoles won 11 of their final 15 games and left it all on the court in a one-point loss to No. 1 Duke in the ACC Tournament.

The vibes are high around Tallahassee regarding the future of the basketball program. After all, Loucks had a swift introduction to the transfer portal and essentially built an entirely new roster.

Once Loucks gets his own guys in the building, Florida State should only grow as a threat, especially as more funds are poured into the team.

Loucks' rag-tag group worked out in 2025-26, as multiple Seminoles are getting looks at the professional level.

On Friday, former Florida State forward Alex Steen signed the first contract of his professional career. Steen is headed overseas to join KK Borac Čačak, a team located in Serbia that competes in the Adriatic League and the Basketball League of Serbia.

The deal is reportedly for one year, with an option to be extended for another season.

Last season, KK Borac Čačak finished 8-18 in the Adriatic League, 0-2 in the Basketball League of Serbia, and 0-1 in the Radivoj Korać Cup.
