DD
Mikey
JD
Mason
MAW

all seem very likely to return from my perspective

Tari
Lahkin
Gabe

I think one of these 3 will probably end up closer to home next season.

I can't see a good reason for any of the other 5 to return.
If I had to guess right now, I would think all 8 of those guys are here next year. Gabe being the wildcard. Tari looks to be invested as of now. Talking about the future, and might be trying to help get that beachump guy next year. That could change at any point though but I would guess all of f those guys right now

The fact is we have to get players this spring, so there will be commitments this spring. The worry about early commits is fair but it’s not like we will go into next year with 7-8 players. This spring is going to be wild. We’ve already been linked to some good players. We will see if we get any of them

Would Love to see Keith comeback, and up his worth. Of course it looks like John wants him gone from his sideline gestures when Keith has the ball. Of course Keith's whiny disposition doesn't do him any favors.

If he did stay that would be a win for the program (for a year) just my opinion.

Keith has got some shi- to work on.

Just a thought

I agree, Keith needs another year to work on his court vision and shooting.

In the postgame Brannen talked about how ball movement is much quicker with the young guys compared to the upperclassmen, and that's how he wants his team to play. Not much of an endorsement for Keith.

I dont think we can really afford another year of 30.1 usage rate with a 94 ORTG out of any player.

I think Keith wants to go. At some point you have to move on from school and make a living. I don’t think Keith has any desire to come back.

Keith could go overseas and make a very good living.

If Keith came back, improves a little, best case scenario he sneaks in as a late 2nd pick. He’d be 23. I don’t think there’s any reason for he to return.

The problem is the usage, not the skills. I'd love to have Keith back in the same role he played last year. I don't think he will come back, but I don't know where he goes from here. He doesn't have any elite skills and he's a poor shooter. That's not a recipe for a pro career.

I agree, but how do you tell a guy to come back for a 5th year, and oh btw, we need to take the ball out of your hands too.

He will go overseas and make money. He ain't coming back. No clue why that would even be considered.
