Spears then transferred to Georgetown for the 2022-23 season. He led the Hoyas in scoring that season, finishing with 16 points, 3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game.

Florida State big man De’Ante Green plans to enter transfer portal
Primo Spears isn’t the only Florida State player leaving the program.
On3’s Joe Tipton broke news on Friday that FSU big man De’Ante Green is planning to enter the transfer portal.
Green appeared in 31 games this past season, making 20 starts. He averaged 4.5 points and 1.7 rebounds per game.
Green attended Asheville Christian Academy in North Carolina. He was ranked as the No. 30 power forward and the No. 175 overall player in the country in the class of 2022, according to the On3 Industry rankings.
Green also contributed for Florida State as a freshman in 2022-23. That season, he averaged 1.5 points and 1 rebound per game, while appearing in 24 contests. A big task for Leonard Hamilton this offseason is rebuilding the Seminoles roster. Florida State needs to get better on both sides of the ball if it wants to return to the NCAA Tournament in 2024-25.
Florida State last made the NCAA Tournament in 2021.
