Florida State is one of two finalists for Colorado transfer Sebastian Rancik, one of the most versatile frontcourt players in the portal.

Florida State 's pursuit of one of the transfer portal's most coveted front-court pieces has entered the final stretch. Colorado forward Sebastian Rancik has narrowed his recruitment to Florida State and Kentucky , with Luke Loucks' staff emerging as a finalist after hosting the 6-foot-11 sophomore on an official visit earlier this week, according to Warchant's Matt LaSerre. The decision represents a significant opportunity for FSU.

On3 ranks Rancik as the 109th overall player and the 28th-best power forward in the transfer portal this offseason. His combination of size, shooting range, passing instincts, and defensive mobility makes him one of the more complete frontcourt prospects available anywhere in the country this cycle. Rancik's sophomore leap at Colorado was one of the more dramatic individual jumps in the Big 12 this season.

His numbers improved across the board as a sophomore, 12. 3 points, 5. 6 rebounds, and 2.

0 assists in 28. 1 minutes per contest, while shooting 40. 4 percent from the field, 33.
