Repass left last AugustHammerTKE wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 10:23 amI've seen a bunch of posts about there being 5 open roster slots to fill entering this off-season. Where is the 5th opening coming from? We had 4 players leave via the transfer portal, and with Nick Anderson now committed, I would think that we have 3 available scholarships remaining. What am I missing?
We only used 12 scholarships last seasonHammerTKE wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 10:23 amI've seen a bunch of posts about there being 5 open roster slots to fill entering this off-season.

When you lose the amount of scoring we lost its a roster rebuild to find a new rotation...FurmanFan23 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 3:49 pmAfter much thought, I am super excited for next season. We have 8 players returning. The sky is not falling for FU Hoops. We can still have a winning team this upcoming season. I disagree with the term “roster rebuild”. I think it should be called a “roster retool”. FU Hoops is in a good place!

CBR's comments reminded me that we already have a solid line up of scholarship players -
Forwards -
Hien
Hughey
Vanderwal
Bowser
Molnar
Guards -
P. Smith
Brinson
Humphrey
N. Anderson
That's already a 9-man rotation with proven winners. And we have a few spots to add. Not so shabby.
true.. but who can be? every good roster has changed.youwouldno wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 12:41 pmThe current roster includes zero total players who have shown they are above average at the D-I level.
Several have the potential and there are several more roster additions to come, so there's upside, but the "current" rotation would not be at the top of the SoCon next year.
Good point, a reality check for sure. I was thinking we have been very fortunate in recent years to have at least one or two “stars” to look forward to seeing play the upcoming season. Not this year. Of course JP and MF would have fiilled that role but they are gone. Hoping a newcomer and/or a current player will step up but of course we won’t know that until well into the season.youwouldno wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 12:41 pmThe current roster includes zero total players who have shown they are above average at the D-I level.
