Florida State men's basketball has lost three players to the NCAA transfer portal.

Sophomore forward De’Ante Green, junior guard Primo Spears , sophomore forward Baba Miller and most recently senior forward Cam'Ron Fletcher announced their intentions to look at their options.

Jamir Watkins announces his return to Florida State

After testing both the transfer portal and the NBA, Jamir Watkins announced on Friday via social media page that he will return to Florida State.

Watkins kept his options open. He was invited to the NBA Combine and visited St. John's and Michigan, Oregon, Kansas State and Cincinnati.

This will be Watkins final year of eligibility.

Last season, Watkins averaged 15.8 points a game and made All-ACC Honorable Mentioned.

Jamir Watkins enters NCAA Transfer Portal, NBA Draft

Watkins reportedly entered the transfer portal a week after declaring for the 2024 NBA Draft, so all options are on the table for the New Jersey native.

If Watkins returns to school, he will have only one eligibility left. He will join Green, Spears, Miller, and Fletcher in the Portal.

Watkins, an early entry, can withdraw from the draft between now and the withdrawal deadline, June 16. The NBA Draft will be held on June 26-27.

Watkins only played one season at FSU after transferring from VCU, where he played his first three seasons. He was the Seminoles' top scorer, averaging 15.6 points a game, six rebounds, and 2.8 assists. He received Honorable Mention All-ACC honors.

FSU adds 6-foot-7 guards from NCAA transfer portal

The Seminoles added Bostyn Holt from South Dakota and Justin Thomas from UTSA on May 1, first reported by Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

What the 6-foot-7 guards bring to the table is three-point shooting and size.

Holt started his career at Coffeyville C.C. before transferring to Utah, where he played in 24 games. He then transferred again to South Dakota, where he started all 32 games, averaging 12.2 points a game and shooting 39 percent from the 3-point line.

Thomas, another journeyman, started his career at Queens University in 2020-21. The following year, he played JUCO at Navarro College (2021-22) and returned to Division I Milwaukee for the 2022-23 season and UTSA for the 2023-24 season. While he only averaged 7.3 points a game, he was also efficient from behind the arc with a 42.9 three-point percentage.

Green, Spears, Miller enter NCAA transfer portal

Green announced he planned to enter the transfer portal on March 22.

In 31 games he averaged 4.5 points, 1.7 rebounds and 11.9 minutes. He hit a season-high 14 points in FSU's 68-66 loss to Georgia on Nov. 29.

Spears, who was a force off the bench, announced his intention to transfer a day later on March 23.

He averaged a team-third-best 10.6 points. He hit his season-high 17 points twice in losses to Louisville, 101-92, and North Carolina in the ACC Tournament.

This is Spears' third time in the portal in four seasons. Before FSU he was at Georgetown and Duquesne.

Spears played only 24 games this season, sitting out the first nine games waiting for the NCAA to approve his transfer waiver. He played his first game with FSU on Dec. 16 against SMU.

Six days after Spears' announcement, on March 29, Miller said that he planned on entering the transfer portal and reportedly is "testing the NBA waters" according to ESPN NBA Draft analyst Jonathan Givony.

The 6-foot-11-inch forward played in all 33 games, averaging 7.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.1 fouls. Miller hit a career-high 14 points in the Seminoles' 87-82 win over Wake Forest on Jan. 9.

He also had his first career double-double in an 88-72 loss to South Florida, recording 11 points and 11 rebounds.

Similar to Spears, Miller's arrival at FSU was complicated. He missed the first 16 games of the 2022-23 season after multiple appeals to the NCAA Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement were denied.

Before his recruitment by FSU, Miller received travel to and from a training camp from his native Spain to the United States. Upon learning of relevant NCAA rules, Miller and his family immediately repaid the benefits received.

Fletcher announced that he entered the portal on April 29. The 6-foot-7 forward has suffered season-ending injuries in the last two seasons.

Prior to his injury last season, he was averaging 5.7 points, five rebounds, and 1.1 steals a game.

Are Jamir Watkins, Leonard Hamilton returning to FSU basketball?

FSU men's basketball's account on X posted a seemingly random hype video of junior forward Jamir Watkins on March 28 and said "THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND… JAMIR WATKINS."

Watkins transferred from VCU to FSU this winter and averaged a team-high 15.6 points, six rebounds and 33 minutes. He was an All-ACC honorable mention selection, the only FSU player to earn All-ACC honors.

The 2023-24 season was another shaky year for the Seminoles.

They started 6-6, infamously losing to Lipscomb, 78-75, on Dec. 30 at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center.

FSU opened up conference play at 5-1, looking like it was going to turn its season around.

However, losing nine of 14 games to end the regular season dropped FSU to ninth in the conference heading into the ACC Tournament.

It defeated Virginia Tech in the tournament's first round 86-76 but was rolled by top-seeded North Carolina, 92-67 in the quarterfinal round.

FSU reportedly denied an invitation to the National Invitational Tournament (NIT).

FSU head coach Leonard Hamilton, with the program since 2002, is also entering the final year of his contract.

The Seminoles have not made the NCAA Tournament since 2021.
