2019 roster if Barnes leaves..

[VOLUNTEERSZN]

So if Barnes were to leave then that likely means that both Bone and Grant are headed to the NBA, and Josiah James is probably going with Rick to UCLA (I know he already signed but he can get a release like PG Anthony Harris did for Virginia Tech after Buzz left for A&M.) I think Pember and Gaines likely stick around. Zach Kent has one foot out the door. Barring this doomsday situation here’s what would be left of the scholarship roster:

PG Lamonte Turner
SG Jordan bowden
SF Yves Pons
PF Derrick Walker
C DJ Burns
PF John Fulkerson
SG Jalen Johnson
SF Devontae Gaines
PF Drew Pember

So who does the new coach go after that we could realistically pull right now? I have some names:

-PG Kira Lewis (I think he could likely get an immediate eligibility waiver due to the coaching change at Bama)
-SF Kevin Easley (Chattanooga transfer)
-PF Isaiah Ihnen (unranked recruit from Germany that Barnes was already recruiting)
-SG Rayjon Tucker (UA-Little Rock grad transfer)
-PG Anthony Harris (recruit that was realeased from his VT NLI and now looking around)
-C Jason Jitoboh (3️ Big from Chattanooga that committed to UF but could be an easy flip)
-PG Quez Glover (Bearden PG that committed to UF but like Jitoboh could be an easy flip)

Anyone else? (Remember it’s not likely we’re pulling any 5 stars after a coaching change)

Sounds like a final four bunch coached by Bruce.
