Florida State Seminoles

Elite “big men programs” are definitely a theme in this final list. Hunter Dickinson has clearly done his homework regarding the schools that he would fit at best. Florida State, like several others on this list, has developed bigs remarkably well in recent years and Dickinson could be the next in line. Mfiondu Kabengele and Jonathan Isaac are the two most recent bigs to take the court for the Seminoles and both are now in the NBA. That pedigree has to be an intriguing factor that could potentially draw Dickinson to Tallahassee.

Even though Florida State is already bringing in a pair of 2019 centers in Balsa Koprivica and Naheem McLeod, there would be minutes available for Dickinson should he commit. He is simply too good of a player and playing time is a given regardless of where he elects to play. At this point in time, it seems as though FSU will be able to pitch Dickinson on the idea of taking his game to the next level while playing for a rising program.

Florida State is not often regarded as a top-tier program but they have been remarkably successful over the past few years. Head coach Leonard Hamilton is starting to seriously show his chops as an in-game strategist and recruiter. The Seminoles have reached the Sweet 16 in back-to-back seasons and the future looks bright as a result. Landing Dickinson would help the program continue that rise.
