Looking at next year, without factoring any Portal loss or gain, we are losing through graduation or NFL not alot. But some are significant.
On offense, in the playing rotation, we lose Dean, Hufford, Treiber, & Stanley. Hufford seems most critical but hopefully we are building that pipeline. The other 3 have seemed to provide good senior leadership. Simmons, not so much.
On defense, we lose Vaughn and Tampa (a given he won't use his available year). Verdon and Purchase are Seniors, but each has a rs year available.
That is a lot returning. And not much leaving in the traditional route. Since we appear to be signing in the neighborhood of 19-20 new signers there will be significant portal activity. Let us hope it is not from the ones we have seen grow and develop.
The biggest loss is Contreraz. Hopefully Gilbert is ready or the have identified a replacement.
