That's 12.
Who leaves early? Wilson and Braun as you all have been discussing.
Who enters transfer portal? Yesefu? Pettiford?
Speaking of transfer portal. I saw Nijel Pack has entered. I hope he doesn't transfer to Texas Tech or Baylor!

I’m hoping we get 2 of 3 back of Braun, Wilson, and McCormack. The more I think about it, McCormack might be a possibility. He can clean up with NIL and improve his stock for overseas by playing healthy for a year. I think NBA is out of the question entirely.
Let’s say Braun declares. Agbaji, Remy, Lightfoot, JCL are also gone.
Starters:
Harris, Dick, Rice, Wilson, McCormack
Pettiford was much better pre-injury, so I’ll assume he’s the back up point guard. Yesufu transfers. Cam Martin also transfers. Ejiofor takes JCL’s minutes.
Udeh and Clemence are the bigs off the bench. Self can manage Dave’s minutes more by using more than 1 big off the bench.
Adams is a utility/gadget player. Kinda like Jamari Traylor was early. Technically a 4, but comes in for energy minutes.
So basically:
Starters: Harris, Dick, Rice, Wilson, McCormack
Bench (in order): Pettiford, Clemence, Udeh, Adams, Ejiofor
I like that scenario. If Dave leaves, we’ll need a big from the portal. If Wilson, Braun, and Dave leave, it’s a full on youth movement.
Winning a title this year makes next year really fun regardless.
