Buffalo loses only Clark
Toledo returns both Jacksons, Navigato, Adway, Knapke and Sanford
Balls returns Persons, Moses, Teague
Eastern returns Minnie, Jackson, JT4
Akron returns everyone by Duvivier with some transfers coming in
Kent returns all but Ridenour and Zabo
BG returns Frye, Turner, Lillard, Wiggins
Miami returns Sabande, Brown, Lands, Ringo, Wright
Western returns Moore, Jones, LaMont
We return Dartis, Kirk, Carter, DT, Gollon, Block. Aside from Buffalo I think we have the most returning starts in a career but looking above we will be considered middle of the pack -- maybe. We will need Butler, BVP, Gareri, McMurray, Springs and Murrell to turn up at least 3 viable, real minutes options.
Considering Butler played some valuable minutes with growing pains, you can add him to your list of players returning (unless you are just talking starters minutes). My money would be on Murrell and BVP being the most ready as far as body type/size and shooting ability. McMurray looks more like an energy guy off the bench from what I've seen. He, Springs, and Gareri all need to get in the weight room and build some strength.
Will be interesting to see if Buffalo loses anyone. With virtually the whole team back and bringing in a couple big time recruits, playing time is going to be hard to come by unless they throttle everyone back to like 20 minutes each, which won't happen. Gotta think there might be at least some attrition.
Also am curious how much of Akron's team stays together now that they've weathered the first year storm.
