The Robinson brothers, Anthony "Ant" II and Amare, are set to wear the garnet and gold together for the first time in years, turning a childhood promise into a present reality for Florida State.
Ant, a senior transfer from the Missouri Tigers, arrives in Tallahassee with a résumé that includes 7.4 points, 2.5 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game, and the coaching staff expects him to take over as the starting point guard, filling the vacancy left by Robert McCray V.
His younger brother Amare, a sophomore who spent a season at Tallahassee State College, brings a reputation as a lockdown defender, having forced 20 steals in 30 games, and will complement Ant’s playmaking with his own brand of intensity.
A Homegrown Rivalry
Their competitive edge dates back to the driveway of their Tallahassee home, where one‑on‑one battles honed the defensive instincts that now define both players.
Head coach Luke Loucks acknowledges the added scrutiny that comes with a hometown storyline but says the pressure will not distract the duo, emphasizing that the team’s focus remains on execution.
Their father, Anthony Robinson, described the upcoming season as a "fairy tale," noting how rare it is for siblings to have the chance to represent their alma mater together.
