Yeah with 7 freshmen ( not including if they bring Kalu) just signed that is a pretty easy guess(though kids don't want to redshirt, they want to play NOW or go somewhere else) However, Doesn't do much to relieve the bottleneck I mentioned and the lack of scholarships available next year.
I have no clue what type of rotation Oliver likes to play but of the 6 returning I would say 4 are a going to be either starters or in the rotation and Patterson with his defense and experience will probably take the a 5th spot. Odd man out is Weber and again with his experience, he will probably get time. I am hoping one of the newcomers is good enough to take his role (Weber is serviceable but I would love to see more talent take that spot) If 5 or 6 of the current spots are taken that leaves a lot of people battling for 2-3 spots. But hey, maybe Oliver's recruits will come in and push the returners out.
Like I said right now with everyone coming back we currently have 2 scholarships (1 if Kalu comes) for next year We already have one commitment from a family friend (maybe the kid will be a walkon?) and we have several offers already out.
I am sure Oliver is a realist and knows people will be leaving.
Just interested in what his retention rate will be.
I am guessing at least 4 of the incoming freshman of the 7 (8?) will leave.
Which is still a high rate compared to Forbes/Shay.

The replacements.. (Incoming players)
This kid doesn't have that skill - according to that article, at least.
