Only Buddy and Jimmy (and Bourama) should be jotted down to leave after this year, so as of now, we don’t have a scholarship open. The two centers Jess and Frank should stay and JBA/Chaz seem to be pretty much Orange at this point and both will finally see some opportunity opened for minutes next year, either at one of the forward spots or possibly the 2 for Chaz. I don’t see those guys leaving for a much lesser program, after they’ve put in all this work. Our two guards should be back next year Joe and Sy, plus the 2 incoming guards and 5 freshman total and then Benny. So you have to think if a scholarship opens, it would come from Cole being ready to play professionally / or Benny, which should mean that scholarship should be used for a forward.
Personally I think it would be too much of a gamble to use it on another freshman guard, when we could possibly really need another proven forward from the transfer portal, knowing that the forwards are most likely to leave, if anybody.
