Now that GMac is HC, what does next year's squad look like?

My hunch is that SU would not be in the business of literally pulling someone's scholarship.

What's most likely is that Gerry would tell the player that he doesn't have a role on the team, will not be on the team, thus will not receive any direct compensation from SU, and is welcome to stay enrolled at SU if he'd like to remain a student.

No athlete is going to take a coach up on that offer, so he'd leave.
Most scholarships, if they still call them that, are for only one year but can be renewed. School can give 2 year ‘ships but I doubt SU does that. So not sure there is a need to “pull” a ship.
 
Here’s my guesses:
Anthony and Doty - Given the unofficial rumblings, sure.

Folefac - Given the unofficial rumblings, sounds very possible.

Moesch - if he likes Gerry and GMAC likes him that much and if there is a possibly of playing time?, maybe yes but could have options.

White - we want him but he could go anywhere. Friendship with mentor Melo may be enough for him to stay. Relationship with Kiyan, may not be enough to convince him to stay

Betsey - if he wants to, he can stay but as with all decisions, it will GMac who decides.

Kingz - working with the NCAA is a drawn out process unless the NCAA wants something done. May be a while before a decision is made, might be more prudent for Kingz to look at overseas opportunities for guaranteed pay day.

Freeman - we would take him back but not at $3 Million (maybe 1). There has to be new understandings and agreements in place. He needs to be an inside force both defensively and offensively. He was close to Autry and Coach B.

George - really tough one, Not worth what he was paid last year and if what he showed last year is his best, may be there needs to be a parting of ways. GMAC has a tough decision to make here.

Souare is a package deal with George (or at least was). Big body (warm) who has some defensive skills but little offensive. Would let him go with George.

Fennell - basically unknown. Not sure of his options. If GMac wants him, he could stay but would like a defined playing role on the team.

Diawara- can’t teach size. Saw him at last years Peach Jam after he was on paper commit to Syracuse. Was very limited there. Smaller players (much smaller) out played him Is he more than a cat ladder/retriever? Can’t tell yet. If GMac keeps one player based on potential, he could be Diawara.

And so much for my predictions, it will all be up to GMAC.
Moesch is coming. Take it to the bank. Know enough people in the know telling me. He looks like the guy from Greatest American Hero.

If we could have Nicknames again (rip rerun) it would be a good one.

I think we are down to:

In

Anthony
Doty
Foleac
Moesch

Waiting on

White
Kingz

Everyone else gone

Ideally if that’s where we are we need that to be about 4.5-5 million of budget so we have the rest for the portal/europe/ late HS decommits. Thus it would be for certain 4.5 guys in the rotation needing to add 2 top dollar, one medium dollar and then 2-3 bargains if we keep all 6 listed above.
