SI99 revealed on Dec. 2; position rankings begin on Dec. 4

Tallahassee, believe it or not, is no longer just a football town.

The Florida State basketball program has recently established itself as a rising power in the ACC under longtime coach Leonard Hamilton. Already boasting multiple commitments from the SI99 and with more likely to come, the Seminoles' ongoing ascent up the college hoops hierarchy seems destined to continue.

Three Florida State verbal commits and two key Seminoles targets have been named nominees for the 2021 Sports Illustrated All-America team of high school boys' basketball players.

Listed below is the full breakdown of Florida State verbals and prime targets who rank among SI's top-99 high school seniors in the country.
