Roster Tracker 2026 Edition

[bleedingTNorange]

Mods if you want to move/delete the 2025 and sticky this one that would be great, thank you!

Current scholarship count:
8/15= 7 spots open

We had a full roster of 16 this past season, technically 15 is the limit but Hurst was allowed the year as an extra due to a single year waiver on roster cuts, he was a senior so back to 15 we go. We lose 3 seniors is Gillespie, Okpara and Abram, and for the purpose of this we are assuming Ament is headed to the NBA, if that changes I will obviously change this, but I don’t foresee that being the case with him widely mocked in the Top 10. So, losing 4/15 drops you to 11 returning players exiting the year and entering the portal season.


Returning scholarship players:
Campbell Duncan JR
Gavin Paul JR
Dewayne Brown SO
Ethan Burg SO

Incoming freshman:
Ralph Scott
Manny Green
Marquis Clark

Announced transfer portal departures:
Jaylen Carey SR
JP Estrella JR
Bishop Boswell JR
Cade Phillips So
Clarence Massamba SO
Amari Evans SO
Troy Henderson SO

Announced transfer portal additions:
Tyler Lundblade SR

Projected lineup as is:
(Not looking to make an argument out of this, just an easier way to view the roster in a lineup form)

PG: Marquis Clark
SG: Ethan Burg//Manny Green
SF: Tyler Lundblade
PF: Ralph Scott
C: Dewayne Brown

Yeesh. When it’s put like this it really looks rough. I know I know the portals not open yet and this is how things are now. Lots of work to do though

On the Basilio show today he said that the staff isn’t interested in keeping Massamba or Henderson. They wanted to keep Estrella but weren’t willing to pay him $3 million plus. Around a $15 million budget to split amongst about 9 players.

Edit: towards the end of today’s show I think he said the total to spend will be $18-$20 million.

Yeah, I like Estrella but not for $3M

So removing Boswell gets us to 11/15 and still have 4 spots left for transfers? Guess we will see what the next few days bring if we have more departures.

With respect to Campbell Duncan and Gavin Paul, we are really down to:

Amari Evans
Dewayne Brown
Ethan Burg
Tyler Lundblade
Ralph Scott
Manny Green
Marquis Clark

We've lost 4 post players through graduation/portal and only have Scott added in. So I'm guessing we are going to add 3 posts with at least 2 of those needing to be high level impact players.

We obviously have to bring in an elite level PG.

After that there's probably some flexibility, but if you add in 1 more player that gives you 12 guys including the freshmen.

Edit: Think I'll just wait to see if we have anyone left at all before adding any more to this thread...

7/15 = 8 spots open (6 if the previous WO players are now counting, the way the grandfather clause was written in I honestly have no clue...but agree with bTo that Barnes will keep them on scholarship if he has to, especially if neither expects NIL/revenue sharing)

2-3 will go to forwards, one of those will be a traditional center
1-2 will go to true PG...ideally I'd prefer 2 myself and both being capable of scoring for themselves.
1 or 2 depending on how the other spots get filled I would think they'll want at least 1 elite scorer on the wing

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

9 of 15 spots right now. 6 to go get.

I hope we’ll get 6 really good transfers soon.

I hope that they’ve come to agreements with Evans, Brown, and Burg.

What a **** show college basketball has devolved into. Actually every NCAA sport. Show me the money!
