We have 14 listed on the men's roster, including four seniors. So, if all the underclassmen stay and none are walk-ons, then we should have three scholarships at least to give. Verbal Commits says that we already have commitments from two HS freshmen, a PG and a SF. The only one of our top five players in terms of minutes played that is a senior is Rushin, who was our leading rebounder, so someone is going to have to plug that gap.

Our women's roster only shows eleven players. Three of those are seniors or grad students, so the coach should have lots of opportunity to upgrade the talent. (Here's hoping Aaliyah stays.)

One problem we may face is that any time you change conferences you raise the risk of transfers (although it is difficult to see how the transfer problem could be much worse than it currently is nationwide).

For the men’s team, it’s too early to tell who will be back due to the COVID year and possible medical hardship. Rushin and Alexander (assuming he’s still on the team) could use their COVID year. Lewis and Marble could be granted a medical redshirt year as well since they played less than 30% of games, and injuries occurred in the first half of the year. Unfortunately, we probably won’t know for a while about their status.

They really need to build some size in their program. That’s one thing that’ll be key to be successful moving forward. I think Betson, Chukwukelu, Johnson, and Harris will be much more consistent next year in their outside shooting.

Little Rock historically has been pretty good at finding those jucos in the 6-8 range who can provide rebounding and defense and a little bit of offense. There must be a few of those floating around.
