2024-25 Roster Breakdown & Wishlist

[biggie]

I updated it again unfortunately.

[biggie]

The question of the roster may be will anyone return for next season?

[HurricaneYosef]

well this is going fine

gentle reminder that USM dominated the sun belt regular season a season ago with an entirely new roster. IT CAN BE DONE

[biggie]

Down to three returning. Who’s next?

[JTApps1]

So we have Tate and Wilson returning, for now. We have plenty of PT to offer guys at least.

Pretty sure Wilson was in a walking boot most of the season too.

Looking at this portal bloodbath, my thoughts are we are looking for a new coach too. The announcement just hasn’t been made yet.

How many examples are there for mid major teams who won 20+ games then lost their entire roster, retooled and won 20 the following season? If Kerns is truly deemed to be a reasonably hot commodity no way he sticks around to go 14-17 next season.

Id say we will get an announcement next week. I have seen people saying April 1st is a date to watch with his contract. This had been udder demolition at a level I have never seen. I hope we remember 23-24 for the 27 wins and the regular season conference championship but sadly alot of people will remember it for what is currently taking place.

“udder demolition”

I’m gonna take a stab at the roster breakdown and wishlist.

For breakdown: nothing

For wishlist: everything

Well, we can sell portal guys that every starting position is an open competition..

100%. The bad news is a lot of players have entered the portal but the good news is that we can offer that!

Maybe this is a negotiation tactic.

Kerns demands a BIG raise and if they meet it then all these guys on portal come back with him. If not, everybody is gone? Basically team union forcing school to up coaches salary or else.

Who knows? Does anybody have a better explanation?

Maybe Kerns let the team know he was moving on. CJ takes his senior day. The team underperforms in the post season and we are left with nothing. Who knows?

I doubt it. Who wants to do business with somebody that will blackmail you like that.

I'm with you. I don't think Kerns is doing that. It would not surprise me if a couple players withdraw from the portal but I doubt that Kerns is blackmailing us.

Good thinking; recruit our own coach & staff all over again! When/If that sticks to the wall, recruit a new, legit, D-I MBB team! No big prob, mon...

I know we want to win, but I’m not letting anyone back on my team that walked.

So when do the commits start uncommitting?
