Didn't we roll with 12 out of 13 scholarships this year? So we have 1 spot for next season (which will be Holloway), so any players that leave could be replaced by a transfer?
Zep is graduating so that's 1. Flannigan is a senior as well so that's 2 (guess he has a COVID year, but I doubt he uses it). Should be all the transfers we really need IF everything else falls into place.
1. WGjr / Holloway / Donaldson
2. Transfer / Holloway / Westry / KD
3. Transfer / Westry
4. Jaylin/ Traore
5. Broome / Cardwell
That's 11 scholarship guys plus Moore and Akingbola. Don't believe Berman is on scholarship right? Shouldn't really have to "process" anyone though Moore and KD would be better served to probably go elsewhere. KD would have to sit a year though so doubt he'd do that. Akingbola is an obvious transfer candidate, but I think dude is just happy to be in school on scholarship and be part of the team.
WGjr is not an all world PG, and he didn't play well in Lexington, but he's a decent player. He can still be our leader at PG next year. A quality backup like Holloway and better players around him will help take pressure off him. Obviously need Westry and Traore to take big steps and be ready for action next year. Need Holloway to be the real deal. Need Jaylin to use a COVID year. Need Cardwell to play better off the bench, and need the two transfers to be big-time. IF all that happens though....that's a better starting lineup next year with much better depth. We'd look like a completely different team, even with 3/5 returning starters.
Our current starting lineup is OK obviously not great or anything. Lack shooting. 2-guard is a big weakness, but the bigger problem for this team is our depth consists of Lior Berman, Chris Moore, KD Johnson, Tre Donaldson, and Dylan Cardwell who hasn't played well this year. That is just really really bad depth.
