RE: Revised 2017-18 Roster

I personally see Walton and Vanleer staying over Hughes and Geist.

Kemp will also be asked to leave.

APR will not be an issue.

We will keep a roster of Phillips, Walton, Vanleer, Barnett, Puryear, Smith, and Nikko. That leaves 6 spots open. CJ Roberts, MPJ, and Jontay Porter makes 3 more available.

I am really wanting to know who Illinois hires. Does Tilmon leave if they hire Marshall or Archie? I'm hoping that he still jumps ship. Now we are down to 2 spots.

Mark Smith, now down to 1.

I think if it gets to this point we hold on to the scholarship, unless it is another top 50 that wants to follow Martin. (Trae Young, not likely)

Now you have a starting lineup:

Phillips
Walton
MPJ
Barnett
Tilmon

Rotation of CJ Roberts, Mark Smith, Puryear, Jontay, Vanleer. Reserves for foul trouble and mop up duty in Nikko and Smith.

I could see that team making a run.
