We have five seniors -- Davis, Lampkin, Carlos, Taylor, and McLeod -- who run out of eligibility after this year.  Setting aside the discussion about Westry not being a "loss," because it's irrelevant, I fully expect him to be coaxed out at the end of the season, as well.  And it is virtually impossible to imagine Bell being back.

So acknowledging that this is MY OPINION ONLY, that's fully what I expect to happen.  At minimum, I expect 7 players gone.

Now, on top of that baseline, could there could be any additional attrition?  It's possible.  Without getting into how probable it is for any of the following to hit the portal:
[LIST]
[*]Cuffe -- PT has been intermittent.  He could play a bigger role, but might opt out in search of more PT.
[*]Moore -- Might opt out due to Anthony playing same position.
[*]JJ -- Might he follow in Maliq Brown's footsteps, in search of team that will make NCAA tournament?
[/LIST]
Again, not suggesting / implying / predicting that those three will leave.  Just that them returning isn't a lock.

Next year is make or break for Red.  I find it less likely that he's going to bring in a great group of transfers, and things will suddenly snap into place, than we'll have massive turnover and struggle because of all of the new faces.  Again.
