Assuming none of the seniors return and no transfer attrition:
1) Marcus Zegarowski, Shereef Mitchell, Ryan Nembhard, Rati Andronikashvili
2) TyTy Washington
3) Alex O'Connell, John Christofilis
4) Antwann Jones, Mason Miller, Modestas Kancleris
5) Christian Bishop, Ryan Kalkbrenner, Jacob Epperson
Zegarowski and Epperson could open up two more roster spots.
Assuming Zegarowski deoesn't return, unless you can get a grad transfer at point guard you feel like could be an all-conference type of guy right away, I think you just go young in 2021-22 and build for 2022-23. Marcus was starting halfway through his freshman year, and that turned out pretty well I'd say.
If Hunter Sallis doesn't choose Creighton and Zegarowski doesn't return, I think you look for a solid guard/wing to add perimeter depth. I think how they fill out the roster depends on how they feel about Rati, Modestas and Jacob health-wise heading into next season.
We have a better idea of what we have for 2021-22 now. Seniors leaving DJ, Denzel, Mitch. Also Jake E. is graduating early and leaving. Marcus???
TyTy Washington has decommitted. Others???
Assuming none of the seniors return and no more transfer attrition:
1) Ryan Nembhard, Shereef Mitchell, (Marcus Zegarowski)
2) Rati Andronikashvili, John Christofilis
3) Antwann Jones, Alex O'Connell
4) Mason Miller, Modestas Kancleris
5) Christian Bishop, Ryan Kalkbrenner
w/o PGs Devin & Jett, SG Sami O & Merf, Fwds Zeil
If Marcus does leave, then Rati can play the 1 & 2. AOC can play the 2 &3 if needed.
That is 10 on scholie if Marcus leaves. So Room for another guard, unless Hunter comes aboard, and another 5. Between Mason, Modestas, and Bishop the 4 is covered. Another big (4/5) 6-9+/240-250 would be nice to augment Chris and Ryan...just in case.
