TALLAHASSEE – Florida State has signed guard Kam Taylor from the transfer portal, head coach Luke Loucks announced Monday. Taylor spent his first two seasons at UNC Asheville and earned first-team all-conference honors last season.
"Kam is a tremendous athlete who is still just scratching the surface of his potential," Loucks said. "We believe his best basketball is ahead of him. What really separates him is his ability to create; he can make plays for himself and for others, and he has a natural feel for the game with the ball in his hands. His combination of elite athleticism and playmaking gives him a chance to impact the game in a big way, and we're excited to help him continue developing in our system."
