As of now, 5. That's if:

-Keith graduates (2)
-Vogt graduates (3)
-Diarra grad transfers (4)
-Harvey transfers (5)

Rap is the only one officially gone, although I guess you could assume Keith is too.

Ok, we need some size and length on wings and in paint.

I’ll love see Harvey and gabe back. We’ll only need two rim protectors and elite defensive wing. Harvey solves need for tall PG/ alpha scorer and gabe fill need for shooter/alpha scorer.

Biggest mistake of year was Brannen didn’t give dou all minutes he could handle

Keith Williams: D+
- Keith's passing improved, but that's about it. He wasn't able to handle an increased usage rate as an efficient scorer. Defense and rebounding remained just ok.

Chris Vogt: D-
- Not sure what his issue was this year. Big drop from last year, especially in true shooting percentage from elite to average.

Mamoudou Diarra: D
- Still a turnover and foul machine as a 4th year player. He did provide some energy and rebounding at times.

David DeJulius: B
- Shooting was disappointing, but his dribble penetration and passing were better than I expected. He can be a good floor general.

Mika Adams-Woods: C
- Typical second year progression reducing foul and turnover rates and improving defense. Shooting took a step back. Still too reliant on dominant left hand.

Jeremiah Davenport: A+
- Big step up in all areas in his second year. My only complaint is poor interior defense and rebounding against bigger 4s, but I didn't expect him to be doing that anyway.

Tari Eason: C+
- He's about what I expected as a top freshman recruit. Tons of ability, but lots of mental lapses. Hoping for a big jump next year.

Mike Saunders: B+
- Showed huge potential late in the season. High turnover rate typical of a freshman pg. Shooting needs work.

Mason Madsen: A-
- I wasn't expecting much, but it's nice to have a fearless shooter. Showed some good instincts on both ends too. Defense needs work.

Coach Brannen: C-
- It's hard to judge him in such a strange year. We don't know what role he played in opt outs. Starting the year with Rap at the 4 was a big fail, but then got the team playing pretty well into March.

Agree with most.

MAW a solid B imo. He's better than people gave him credit for. Great guy to have on a team imo.

Davenport is give an A. Big strides. Still turns it over to much.

Gabe could come back... Don't see harvey returning... And honestly I don't want any "bad" attitude guys returning. If indeed that was the case.

Nope. Play the right way within the system or get out.
