My hope is our roster is fairly static from a returnee standpoint. I fear we're gonna get another roster fruit basket turnover. The Demery comments were less than definitive. And did I read the Ole Miss HC is open????
I think we will lose several players to the portal, some by their choice and some by the staffs'. Just can't afford scholarship players who don't contribute. I suspect Demery will try to figure out what NIL deals are out there, but I hope we can keep him. I doubt if Moncrieffe or Jordan are back. I doubt if the staff remains intact myself. I hope Deloach and Melendez stay; they have promise. Frank is more than willing to come off the bench, but he's not very productive. White needs to hit the portal hard....
I saw that Meechie Johnson is going back to OSU where he spent his freshman year before transferring to USCe for two. I've spoken with people who wouldn't take Lindsey back if he wanted to come. I doubt the staff even contacts him, but that would just be foolish IMHO. He showed a lot of promise.
I think it's gonna be this way from now on - roster getting turned over every year, unless we are willing to pay top dollar. That's the only way to compete now....
