Even though I thought that was the case (that he could return), and his history shows that he should have one more year, I’ve also heard from a few sources that this season would be his.
All 3 of them will probably leave the program but retain their eligibility to get feedback on their NBA draft potential.
If they are not projected to be a 1st or second round pick, they may come back to the program unless they are ready to make more money in the G League or overseas.
If Jamal leaves, you go to the portal, so that’s a wash.
2 of the other 4 are gone. I’m guessing we would really like Cryer and Roberts back. The other two could be minutes blockers for young guys without star power. Not sure we bring them back.
It likely all comes down to who’s available in the portal.
I put McFarland as a PF because if Roberts comes back he’d be behind both him and Tugler at PF and at C he’d be primarily behind Francis. Plus coach also likes to go with a smaller lineup at times putting TA at the PF.
If Wison and Cryer both come back (and they get a PG from the portal) than Jefferson is going to have to make a tough decision. Stick it out another year or hit the portal.
