What is everyone’s percentages for our players coming back next year?
 
What is everyone’s percentages for our players coming back next year?
100% we will have a team. and before we start with look at all the kids leaving, let's agree that there are differences. First, a kid that was here 4 years and leaves is expected. Not some indictment of the program. Second, any kid that leaves with the intention of playing for pay (and it's not going to Kentucky) is also part of the state of the game. That leaves just guys that want to play in college but just don't want to play here. I think woody 100%. is leaving. I don't blame him one bit. Kadray, I am afraid about. I'm worried but hope he can be turned around if he needs to be turned around. Buddy, Jess, Braswell, are all coming back. After that, I don't care.
 
Buddy 100
Everyone else somewhere between 0 and 50.
At least 4 players that could be here won’t be

Ranking players by the likelihood they will be back:

1 Buddy
2 Joe
3 Jesse
4 Braswell
5 Frank
6 Kadary
7 QG
8 Marek
9 JBA
10 AG
11 Woody

I put it at a 75% chance that all of 1-4 are back
45% chance that all of 1-6 are back
Lastly, as far as 7-11 goes, I’d say there’s a 5% chance one of them is back
 
Buddy 100-confirmed at his presser
Anselem 90-This was a planned de facto redshirt year and that was agreed upon before the season with the staff and his advisers
Q 85-Made a dramatic improvement from freshman year which he can build on but can’t go to nba and seems to like the program
JG3 80-third Boeheim son
Jesse-80 he would have to be blind to miss the opportunity he has here and he looks confident that he can be the main big here
Braswell 70 (I would have said zero earlier in the year) has become an important part of the rotation and his physical issues will limit how attractive he is to other programs
Kadary 60 this is the lowest I have been on this subject. It should be 95 but he may understandably believe that he won’t get enough playing time because JB is so loyal to JG3 even though Kadary is the far better player
JBA 50 no clue. Seems happy but didn’t play so . . .
AG 26 The kid’s spirit is broken and his second half was dreadful. The only hope is if his dad steps in and meets with him and JB to give it another shot. Because he is not lacking for money maybe he would return instead of going overseas which right now would be his only alternative professionally. I can’t see him sitting out and transferring again.
Woody 25 He sees Williams, Braswell and maybe AG still ahead of him at sf with no time available at guard. There was a rumored altercation with JB. Desperately hope I’m wrong. Too much smoke though.
Marek 15-He has nothing left to prove here and watching how he acted during senior night and throughout the season leads one to read the tea leaves that he’s gone. As an aside I don’t know how the media didn’t ask him that question last night at his presser, what negligence that was.
Bourama 5-health and a highly intelligent guy who may want to get on with his life. Perhaps telling that he did not travel to Indianapolis
 
It’s been 13 hours since the season ended and nobody has hit the portal yet maybe we just run it back
 
Here’s my tAeK on the odds:

Buddy - 144%. Of course.
Bras - 98%. Loves Cuse & coaches. And now he’s getting run. 3rd Forward at worst next year, could maybe start next to Benny.
Frank - 80%. Agree w/ the RS year concept, but with everybody able to jump, you just never know.
Jesse - 80%. May be higher, now. But who knows? I’d imagine he’s our starting 5 next year. Which is why Frank’s odds are “only” 80%.
JGIII - 75% Does he value playing at Cuse more than being The Man? And would he be willing accept less minutes if Kadary starts?
Kadary - 50%. He can easily make a case for either, and it wouldn’t be wrong.
JBA - 50% Agreed that he’s a great teammate, but maybe he wants to go mid-major so he can play?
Griff - 25%. Did the end of the season poison the well with him? Or does he look for a shot at redemption?
Marek - 20%. But ONLY IF JB promises him to never play at the 5.
Quincy - 10%. Based on his age, and he can play for $ in France or other parts of Europe.
CDB - 5%. IF he’s got any knees left, he might want to try to earn a few bucks on them before they’re completely gone.
Woody - zero point zero. He gone.
For months now

I think this is a really good spectrum
 
I said we’d only have 5 returning players and I was burned at the stake.
