Ta’Niya Latson reportedly enters the transfer portal, leaves door open to return to FSU

Via a source: There is optimism that FSU can retain Latson. But there’s also the understanding that programs with deep pockets will throw an NIL number at Ta’Niya and perhaps tie that in with some advertising deals that will help her build her brand.

I don’t think of Latson as selfish. She’s been great for this program. The best point guard or guard in FSU’s history. And she’s improved with each year. But it is an open market and a wild one with revenue sharing potentially to come on April 7 plus NIL mixed in as ways for programs to put a considerable offer on the table for an athlete.

This is starting to feel like a couple years ago when Puisis, Jones, Baldwin, Weber etc all entered the portal.

I like Snoop’s game. Thought she would be a key glue player for us next season.

My understanding is that Latson really wants to play for a championship. If that's her driving motivation, she really needs to pick carefully. At FSU, she is definitely the big fish but at some other schools that are constantly playing for the title, she could see her role diminishing. Not saying she isn't great, but they are more loaded with similar greatness.
 
Viegas is leaving college basketball to go play professionally in Spain.

Coaches have some work to do in the portal. As of now, we only have 5 returning playing plus two newcomers for next season.
 
Latson officially entered the portal today…She has been in contact with LSU, ND, Tennessee, South Carolina, Vandy and Ole Miss. I had hopes we still had a chance to keep her.
