Only had room for ten (10), so Hawthorne and Potter were necessarily excluded as Redshirts and assumed to be back, but who knows ??

What if... GASP, everyone not graduating WANTS to come back and is still on scholarship? What player(s) would you drop the NIL offer on to $0 to force them to portal out? That's a more intriguing question. Who are you going to get from the portal for roster spots 10-15 if everyone leaves? Are they going to be better than our current 10-15 roster spot guys?

Senior BG is gonna be our best player.
BG needs to step up, but can do it with hard work, perhaps. Here is a comparison with Moreno, for reference ...

I think it is fair to say that Moreno and Garrison won the two (2) LSU games.

Why is none not an option?
Good question. I see your point. I only had ten (10) spots and wanted to including potential returning scholarship players from this year.
If your position is "none" ... it is duly-noted. I suspect there would be others who would possible vote "none" ... but I think those would be few.

If so, they better be better than Aberdeen and Oweh, or we may well have a repeat performance next year.

Yes definitely.

I think this team would be just fine if their roles were just reduce a notch or two.

But they obviously need to be big time players coming in and I'm not sure Pope is getting those guys at the moment sadly.

A lot of reasons to be negative right now, but this level of doom and gloom can't be healthy.
Worst case scenario, we'll bring in at least a few decent-good transfers if a lot of the current guys do indeed leave.
Oh I wasn't being negative. Just think BG will be awesome next year.

If Hawthorn doesn’t return to me that’s a brutal look for Pope and staff! Especially using a redshirt. JMO

Do not shoot the messenger, but I have a friend who told me that he heard, believe it or not, that Johnson might be going to Louisville.
If so, I can kinda see it, as they love to shoot the three and Johnson might have a total green light. Johnson likes to raise up, as we all know.
REPEATING: This is what I heard from a friend. He often has decent information, but who knows ??? He will not reveal the source of his rumor.

We know he will have one good game anyway.

I’d take all of them if they put in the work this summer but judging from last summer I want Moreno and Chandler back and that’s about it and Chandler would have to be recruited over.

I voted for Chandler, Kam, Moreno, Jelly and JQ. Even though I know JQ is completely unrealistic.

Chandler, Moreno, Williams and Jelly are realistically the ones that I want back.

I would love to have JQ back but that’s not happening.

I also would really like to have Johnson back. I know he’s been frustrating to watch this year. He was only a freshman and you can see the talent is there. I would just hate to see someone else get to use that talent. With that said, unfortunately I think he transfers to either Arkansas or Alabama.

CC, Noah, Moreno, Garrison, Jela, Johnson would make a great core of guys who’ve been playing together and in the Pope system for a couple years.

That is stability and consistency we haven’t seen for a long time.

Add a PG who can complement all the above, maybe two for the sake of depth and just in case.

I think Pope also needs to find an enforcer who can bully people in the post and clear room for Moreno.

Another shooter would be nice.

Mercy, that shine sure wore off Noah didn’t it?

Least popular dude on the entire roster, behind (shock!) Garrison.

The stage at UK seems too big for Noah. He just freezes up and passes the ball immediately. He just won't challenge the defender and try to make a play.
I hate it but he is who he is. Maybe he stays to be around in case of injury but I doubt he plays much if we land a couple higher level guys. Big IF.

Ill, in all honesty, take them all back, as long as we bring in a couple top 5 transfers. Except for Garrison. Garrison should just go tf away.
