Latson and Dos Santos were part of the Florida State team that made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament last season. The 24-9 Seminoles beat George Mason in their first game before falling to LSU in the Round of 32.

The Seminoles will have to rebuild their roster as they will also lose Makayla Timpson and O'Mariah Gordon, who are out of eligibility.

Ta'Niya Latson was the nation's leading scorer, averaging 25.2 points per game. She also recorded an identical 4.6 boards and assists per game as a junior. Latson signed with South Carolina last week.

Raiane Dias Dos Santos averaged 2.6 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 0.8 assists in 11.9 minutes per game during her only season at Florida State. Dos Santos will now join Virginia, which is coming off a 17-15 season and missing out on the NCAA Tournament.

Ta'Niya Latson also had a message for Mi'Laysia Fulwiley

After entering the transfer portal, guard Mi'Laysia Fulwiley shared a farewell post on her Instagram account. The post thanked former coach Dawn Staley, her teammates, and the South Carolina fans as the Columbia native looks for her next stop.

Among the replies were some of her former teammates, but also one from Ta'Niya Latson. The former Seminole reacted with three heart emojis to the former South Carolina player's post.

"❤️❤️❤️," Ta'Niya Latson posted.

His favorite team is Army West Point as when he was young, Allan lived in West Point for a couple of years, went to pretty much every home game, a couple of Army-Navy games and even got to meet some of the players.

Allan's favorite players of all time include Tommie Frazier, who was unbelievable during the Nebraska dynasty of the early 90's. Tim Tebow was also a favorite, mainly because of his leadership skills, although he was also awesome on the football field. As a fan of defensive football, (or what's left of it), Sean Taylor could take over a game for Miami.

Allan has always considered himself a student of the game more than a fan of it. So the historical part and evolution of the game, as well as the ins and outs of what happens on the field, and being able to put it into words for the audience, are his biggest strengths.

Besides sports, Allan enjoys reading books, watching movies and spending time with his dogs.
