It’s realistic to expect significant turnover after this season. A full staff change almost guarantees roster movement, and there will likely be a few departures that catch people off guard.

Donnie could transfer or at least explore the draft. It wouldn’t be shocking to see one of the freshmen—Kiyan or Sadiq—leave, though probably not both. You could also see someone like Betsey or Fennell move on due to a combination of NIL money and playing-time clarity.

Betsey, in particular, has been genuinely good all season and is good enough to draw real interest elsewhere. None of this is meant to be alarmist; it’s simply what happens when a program resets.

Losing Kiyan would be a bad look optically, especially with the family frustration being visible, but on the floor he’s more of a specialized scorer than a complete impact player. Crafty, yes. Transformative, no.

Short-term, it may feel like the program is unraveling. That reaction will be loud and emotional, but it doesn’t mean it’s wrong to clean house. Sometimes things have to bottom out before they reset properly.

If Syracuse is willing to spend on a real staff, modern player development, and competitive NIL like we dished out for this current roster, there’s no reason this can’t turn quickly. The brand still matters. The resources are there if they’re actually used. Make the right hire, align the money, and accept a brief uncomfortable transition, and this can absolutely set up a legitimate resurgence over the next few years.

The sky might look like it’s falling for a bit, but that doesn’t mean the foundation can’t be rebuilt stronger than it’s been in a long time.
