Started thinking about this earlier. With the way the team is currently playing and how the rest of the SEC looks, I think it is fair to assume 7-8 wins being the most likely landing spot for this team. At this point, I think we all know where everyone stands when it comes to should Stack stay or go, but let's assume he stays for a fourth year. The roster currently breaks down like this:
Departures:
Quentin Millora-Brown
Liam Robbins
Emmanuel Ansong
Arrivals:
Isaiah West (Fr)
JaQualon Roberts (Fr)
Carter Lang (Fr)
Returners:
Tyrin Lawrence (Sr)
Colin Smith (So)
Noah Shelby (So)
Paul Lewis (So)
Myles Stute (Sr)
Trey Thomas (Sr)
Malik Dia (So)
Lee Dort (So)
Question Marks:
Jordan Wright
Ezra Manjon
This is without anyone transferring, which is highly unlikely but also very unpredictable. I think it is likely we see Ezra Manjon back. Jordan Wright is most likely back as well, unless he decides to play his fifth season elsewhere. It would put us at exactly 13 if no one transferred out and Jordan and Ezra came back. I think it is likely we see at least one or two freshman transfer, but who knows. Is this roster enough to get Stack over the hump and into the NCAA Tournament? Without the addition of a transfer portal stud, I have a hard time seeing it. The upper-classmen are good players, but not enough to carry a team. I think this team would produce similar results as to what we are seeing right now, but that is impossible to know for sure. What are your thoughts on this potential roster? What does Stackhouse need to do over the off-season to turn this into a NCAA Tournament roster?
