I think the 2025 class is set. Perhaps 1 add transfer if someone goes to the NBA early. Milos Uzan could possibly. JoJo was on the early draft boards but the recent consensus is that he needs another year to develop his offense.
We lose the following players (3) who have exhausted eligibility including playing 5th year granted by NCAA for covid wasting a year.
LJ Cryer - SG - no more eligibiliy
J. Roberts - PF - no more eligibility
M. Wilson - PG/SG - no more eligibility
I believe the following 2 players still have 1 year (covid) 5th year available to use but i could be wrong. If someone knows, please elaborate
J. Francis PF (was a Junior last year and player very well this year off bench after starting last year)
R. Waker SG/W (injured hand early in season, injured most of 2024 season but player well in 2024 tournament and left team for personal reasons during 2023 season.)
E. Sharp - SG/W Junior - I see him playing in Europe after 2026 and being a broadcaster or successful in business. He is very sharp! If UH is to return to Final 4 in 2026 Sharp is key as the lone veteran, team leader!
M. Uzan - PG - Junior - Has progressed so much so fast he could possibly go this year but would likely make more $ if we waited a year and certainly would get even better.
T. Arceneaux - SG/W - Sophmore - has so much talent coming back from ACL, just needs to beef up and get more aggressive and confident. Has to the measurebles to be NBA draft pick in 2027. expect him to start next season
J. Tugler - PF - Sophmore - expect to work on offenese in off-season be NBA 1-2 round pick 2026
C. Laith - PF - Sophmore - much improved! he was so raw in 2024 NCAA tourney when we just needed a body. He can really play some now and only get better!
K. Jefferson - PG - Freshmen (RS) - has looked good in minutes played. runs court and handles ball well plus knocks down thre 3. expect him to be backup PG
M. Miller - SG - Freshmen - Saw most minutes in 2025, defense has improvded but shooting deteriorated. probably needs to work on conditioning to shoot when tired from defending. Expect him to be 6th man or even start if he find his shot.
C. Mccarty - SG/W - Freshmen (RS) - excited to see him play!
J. McFarland - C - Freshmen - assume broken leg gets medical RS so still has 4 years eligibility. how long to recover?
2025 RECRUITS
C. Cenac - PF (expect to play minutes rotating with Tugler and Francis at C/PF positions)
i. Harwell - SG (RS unless needed
K. Fleming - PG of the future but ideally RS.
B. Jackson - SG (expect to RS)
2026 RECRUITS?
