just based on eligibility and current commits
Kalle, Day, Phillips
Toumi, Hall, Smith
Moncrief, Malovec
Cuff, Jackson, Bobe
Bailey, Spinelli
Leaves out McIntire and ZCO, so there has to be at least two transfers out.
Adding Day and possibly Hall to our front court will help. I like what Moncrief showed, can he fill a bigger role next yr?
More question marks with the wings and guards, having not seen most of them in action.

Bailey just scored 39 pts in a game in Detroit. He’s going to be important at some time.

My guess is we will have 3-4 kids hit the portal when it opens. Rags and company had to fill a roster and didn’t have a ton of time. Time will tell but we shall see.

There should be so much roster movement that it’s not even worth speculating at this point imo.
But for what it’s worth on the known quantities of the future depth chart, I think Cuff & Bailey should be swapped from my understanding of their skill sets. I believe cuff is a true PG and Bailey is a combo guard that wants to transition to playing the point in college.
I also think Trey would be in the 3 spot on this hypothetical roster. Like I said in the other thread though, I wouldn’t hold your breath or get too excited on that front. I’m very skeptical he ever plays in an Aces uniform again.
Fwiw on the future pieces, I’ve changed my stance on Spinelli and am willing to admit I was wrong from my earlier criticisms. I think he’s a nice piece for the future. He let the game come to him a lot more as the season came along. If he can work on shooting 3s and distributing the ball over the summer, he could be a big piece in the rebuild. As he stands right now, I think he’s a great energy guy off the bench and would be great in that role at a minimum for the next few years.

I don't know what inspires a player to transfer but so far, the only one who has left is Blaise and as it unraveled, he wasn't going to matter anyhow. Toumi might go elsewhere and that would be a bit of a loss. A 6-10 guy is hard to find, but maybe he's part of the problem. Anybody else who leaves hasn't played anyway.
I will say, based on what I expected this year and what we actually got, I have subscribed to the philosophy that I have never seen college basketball this disjointed. I fear it won't get better until somebody decides what the sport is supposed to be.

There was speculation on if Kenny still had eligibility left when he went through senior night. This article makes it sound like he does. Will be interesting to see if he goes pro or hits the portal.

After watching Wardle speak about the way he developed Bradley's program, besides our current commits, I believe we need another 4-5 new guys enter the program. Hopefully in the next 30 days, AustinAce is posting tweets about some of our guys going to the portal.

Kalle, Toumi, Smith Jr., Moncrief, Spinelli and Phillips are the main guys I want to see return. The rest don't really matter.

Alas, the season is over! Now, the coaching staff must open up roster spots and rebuild from scratch. I hate asking kids to move on, but if they are not fits for the program (Or D1 material), it is best for them to move on now and retain their eligibility for their future.
Keep - Spinelli (Soph PG), Moncrief (Soph SF), Kalle (Soph/Junior Center), Toumi (Junior/Senior PF), Phillips (Junior SF), Malovec (Frosh SG) Portal/Graduation Out - Bobe, Smith, Coleman, Chism-Okoh, Strawbridge, McIntire, Beauchamp (at mid year)
Incoming - Bailey (Frosh SG), Day (Frosh C), Jackson (Frosh SF), Cuff (Soph/Jr PG) Portal In - Need to get a transfer PF & SG Hold onto 1 open scholarship for a 2024 recruit

I’d like to see at least 5 portal additions personally. There’s no one on the roster I’d be upset to see leave at this point. Hopefully we’ll have a clearer picture on where our roster stands within the next two weeks, and then once teams begin getting eliminated from the post season, we’ll have a clearer picture on what level of talent Rags intends to pursue. I’m still very optimistic he can tap into the portal to make us at least hit double digit wins next season and keep it respectable in the conference, which would be a massive upgrade over the last two years.

Keep Spinelli, Moncrief, Toumi.Have the 4 recruits come in,then try to find 4 quality portal players. Ones that are starters not bench warmers.

The only one's that I want back are Spinelli and Moncrief. I hope the rest of them are told to leave.

Spinelli isn’t good. Moncrief is ok. I personally think it would be a good thing if everyone of them walked and start over. These guys seem ok with getting their asses beat.

Our problem is all of our players are role players. That’s why I don’t care who stays or goes. All could have a role as role players on a new roster, but most are being asked to do way too much currently and need 4-5 MVC starter quality players to help carry the load for them.
