The focus is shifting from who the Florida State women’s basketball team no longer has on its roster to the influx of transfers that will lead the Seminoles in the 2025-26 seasons.
Life without Ta’Niya Latson (transferred to South Carolina), Makayla Timpson (now in WNBA) and O’Mariah Gordon (graduated) will be considerable adjustment. But Coach Brooke Wyckoff and the coaching staff emphasized bringing in transfers with experience in what could be a balanced scoring attack.
“I really do love that piece of being able to count on a lot of different players for scoring, and just to have a spread out attach,” Wyckoof said. “A lot of times all five players on the floor are threats to score from the three point line. They can attack and score at the rim. So that’s what we expected, that’s what we wanted, and that’s definitely been shown over the last two games.”
When asked about the potential of a different leading scorer night to night, Wyckoff said she likes that this team could offer just that. But unprompted she then mentioned that junior college center Pania Davis, who is 6-foot-6, has “got to be a force. She has to play like she’s our best player, our leading scorer, leading rebounder.”
After two exhibition games, a loss to Alabama at Birmingham and a win over Division II Tampa, FSU opened the season with a 112-39 win against Florida A&M.
