Roster Next Year

[JZCane0825]

Fairly unprecedented to say that we may see complete roster turnover going into next year with a new staff.

Cleveland, Kidd, Pack, Blackmon and Johnson are out of eligibility. Bethea will almost assuredly turn pro or transfer to a higher profile program to better position himself.

That leaves Swartz, Staton-McCray, Ugochukwu, Djobet and two incoming freshman in Able and Ahmed.

Swartz has looked promising since moving into the starting lineup so I’d imagine good schools will be after him in the portal. Same goes for Ugochukwu but would love to keep both in the fold.

I think Staton-McCray sticks around given the local ties and likely having a bigger role next year. Djobet probably should look at transferring to a lower level program as I’d imagine he’ll get recruited over in the portal.

I feel like it all depends on the coach

He will bring guys in whoever it is

I said this in another thread, but no one on this roster is irreplacable, and there will be some guys come in from wherever the next HC comes from to follow him. It happens all the time. Portal plus Able/Ahmed and VERY few holdovers from the current roster are exactly what I expect for next year.

Both signess are eligible to get out of their LOI due to the coaching change iirc

Works for me. Same thing would happen with recruits signed to wherever the next HC is currently coaching at. Maybe some of those kids he recruited come over with whoever it is and are capable of being the bedrock of the rebuild.

I can't see a new regime keeping too many guys, especially in the portal era. We'll be an attractive destination
