Mayer --Gone

TSJ--Rumor is he wants to come back
Hawkins- back or draft

Rumor is Epps is gone unless Underwood can get him to come back. They lost him after NW game

Staff isn't high on Harris form what I read---couldn't be next Luther Head?

Danja is conflicting reports

Goode back for sure, Melendez?

Ty will be back

Underwood
I am a former 5-star general. Or maybe it was 4-star.
Nichi claims a guard with a 1.3 assist-to-TO ratio is a good passer.

Harris looked beat up at the end of the year, I think the concussion fucked some things up and my god he needs to practice shooting freethrows and from everywhere else, he has the quickness to get to the rack but lacks the strength to finish as well, lot of work needed hopefully he commits to getting that done this summer.  Would be helpful to have some teammates that call out screens as well... sigh

Epps is interesting, I think he could be a good player but clearly his attitude shifted at some point during the year and maybe that was when harris started over him?  Who knows, kids are such bitches these days, if he left, that would suck because of his potential, but fuck we need a point guard, even though that's not really his forte.  At least he tries to score points.

Mayer - supposedly the team cancer after reading some things on le reddit, bye bye, enjoy playing in China or something

TSJ - if he wants to come back you take him 100%

Hawkins isn't ready for the NBA at all, one more year would do him some good

Dainja - showed flashes, really needs to keep working on his body and freethrows, after the concussion he wasn't the same either

I would imagine Goode and Melendez will be back, never know though

Only lock i'd say to come back is Ty Rodgers who can't shoot for shit lol

Epps and Danja are probably gone.

Goode, Rogers, and Melendez are likely back.

Starting to sound like TSJ and Hawkins are more likely to return for another season.  Especially TSJ.

Harris no one has really spoken of anything about where he stands.

"Epps wanted no part of what Underwood was saying. Looks like he gave him a bump at the end also?"

Shannon is GONE.  He went thru senior day and coming back to college for a 5th season of basketball does nothing for his draft stock.  I’m certain he can make more money in the G League or Europe. 

Hawkins-  I think he will be back.  I don’t think he is good enough to play in the G League or be drafted so IL is his best option.

Melendez-  I think he will come back knowing he has a primary scoring role on the team.

Epps-  probably gone and would have good portal offers.

Rodgers- he will be back as long as Anderson is Asst Coach

Goode- he will be back.

Lieb- will be back

Harris- will be back

Dainja- I think its 50/50.  He never looked like he ever had fun playing and always was frowning on the bench. 

I think next year starters will be

Harris
Rodgers
Melendez
Goode
Hawkins 

It’s gonna be ugly.

I believe Harris was better than Epps at most things. Horrible at free throws but Epps was a liability on defense.   Harris was even a  better 3pt shooter.

Will be surprised if Shannon returns.  Seems he'll get drafted in the second round. Same for Hawkins

If both return, this will be a very talented team.  Just need a transfer pg
