The Daily Nole — April 24, 2021: FSU Hoops Lands Kentucky Transfer Fletcher

It’s the weekend, Florida State fans.

As you get set to begin a relaxing Saturday, check out our daily rundown.

Lead Story

Florida State basketball will lose at least three players early to the NBA Draft, but on Friday, the Seminoles got a big addition.

Former Kentucky forward Cam’Ron Fletcher announced that he would be joining FSU for the 2021-22 season. Fletcher averaged just 1.7 points and 1.7 rebounds in nine games for the Wildcats last season.

Despite the pedestrian numbers, Fletcher is a big-time athlete with a lot of potential. A 4-star prospect, he was ranked the No. 71 overall player for the 2020 class, according to the 247Sports Composite.

Fletcher is the second transfer that will join FSU next season. Former Houston guard Caleb Mills announced his intentions to transfer to FSU in January.

Between the Lines

Both FSU tennis teams were eliminated in the ACC Tournament with 4-1 quarterfinal losses on Friday. The FSU men fell to NC State while the women fell to Miami. FSU baseball shut out Georgia Tech, 9-0. FSU softball split a doubleheader at Louisville. After winning the first game 10-0, the Seminoles dropped the second, 5-1. FSU beach volleyball went 2-0 on the first day of the CCSA Tournament. The Seminoles swept UNC-Wilmington 5-0 before downing South Carolina, 4-1. After the first day of the ACC Championships, FSU men’s golf is in fourth place.

On the Agenda

FSU men’s golf will resume the ACC Championships on Saturday. FSU baseball will play the second game of a 3-game series with Georgia Tech. The contest begins at 4 p.m. ET and streams on ACC Network Extra. FSU beach volleyball will continue the CCSA Championships against LSU.
