Florida State’s Big Man Tradition

Don’t tell the feds.

On second thought, nobody’s trying to hide anything. Team rosters are published for everyone to see, complete with player numeral, name, position, height, weight, academic class, and hometown/high school/previous school.

Yet there’s no question something is going on at Florida State. Several somethings.

One has drawn widespread notice: Other than 2019, every FSU roster since 2012 has had at least a pair of seven-footers, this year included. These guys are hard to miss, particularly in an era when prominent very-big men are neither numerous nor especially coveted in college ball at the highest levels (no pun intended).
