25-26 Season

[SJUWillRockNYC]

The players who figure to definitely return are Zuby Ejiofor, Sadiku Ibine Ayo, Ruben Prey, and Lefteris Liotopoulos but there are questions with other players on the roster.

Seen that in an article, thought Prey was a one year loan?

Kevin mentioned Khaman lost his red shirt? Would he really lose it on those two minutes against DePaul? If so feels like a waste for him

The expectation for next season should be to compete for a national championship. That’s my biggest takeaway after this year.

Roster as it stands right now. Years remaining in ()

Can’t imagine Sim is the starting SG. 3rd guard with plenty of minutes, if he returns.

Given how many openings we have this year I wouldn't be surprised if everyone came back. Most have bought in it seems and last year I heard a bunch had higher offers to leave and chose to stay. It doesn't seem like much has changed for a player to want to leave now.

That’s why it was stupid to play him the few minutes he played this season unless you were at least going to give him garbage time minutes during the season for him to get a feel for the court and game.

 

[jackfro]

Like Lefty but hope he can notably improve not getting beat by his man down court and blown by in lane.

Happens to Wilcher more often than not

 

[Jack Williams]

“Teams committed to Players Era for '25 include Alabama, Auburn, Baylor, Creighton, Gonzaga, Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oregon, Rutgers, San Diego State, St. John's, Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Saint Joseph's. Many (perhaps all) of those will play in 2026. Oregon won the inaugural 2024 event over Alabama.”

Soon we will have an NCAA NIL Tournament

Brady has 3. Granted a redshirt.

 

[matmi03]

Will Sim and Glover possibly be impacted by Sanon arrival? They seem to be similar positionally.

Be shocked if both stayed. Expect 1 to leave.

Prey?

 

[MugCostanza]

Prey?

My bad, will add him at the next roster change

 

[dk423]

Even if we already knew it, nice to get public confirmation.

 

[mjmaherjr]

Zubs An all time favorite player

Perfect!!!!!!!!!! Now just rein in RJ and get some more portal studs to go with the other returnees and we be rollin' again.

Zuby, Captain 2025-26.
A great great representative of our University.

 

[dk423]

I was waiting for this type of confirmation before buying Zuby gear next year. He's epitomizes why I love college basketball.
