I believe Vincent Chaudhri is now in the portal.

So to recap at this point:

Aranguren
Arceneaux
Witherspoon
Kossaras
Rougier-Roane
N'landau

Now have to address the frontcourt in a big way.

This is 6 players and we have 15 scholarships so there should be 9 remaining now that Chaudhri is in the portal and Assui is not coming (are we ever going to get confirmation of that? News he's going elsewhere?)

Is Amir Arrington sticking around? Is he a scholarship player?

For what is worth. BTW Overall rank takes into accout both incoming transfers and outgoing transfers.

Georgia transfer Dylan James has committed to GW. 6-9 big man averaged 4.5 PPG and 3.8 RPG last season.

Looks to be more of a Hunger replacement. I don’t think he is a slasher like Woo.

You’re right. Not a slasher. But two years ago he primarily played the 4 next to Asa Newell (I watched more of them two years ago than this year).

Unless I missed things but along with more size we need some shooters

Given how expensive the Center market seems to be, I'm not sure how likely it is that Arrington is going to be a depth piece as opposed to a legitimate contender to start. If he's a back-up, I like this signing, but I'm worried we could be headed for a Stretch 2.0 situation. I hope I'm proven wrong, and separate from my partially baseless concern over our Center rotation, I'm left feeling optimistic about the roster. Really need Caputo to coach to the peak of his potential next year. 

So as of Sunday night, I believe our roster is:

PG - Aranguren 
PG? - N’Landu (don’t know if he’s a pg or combo guard at this level)
Wing - Arcenaux
Wing - Withersooon
Wing - Kossaras
F - Rougier-Roane
Big - James
Big - Arrington

Looks like a roster really committed to defense.

Plenty more scholarships to go, playing time available.

First things first.  In response to Florida Colonial's posting the A10's Transfer Class Rankings, my response to FWIW is that it's worth nothing.  Absolutely nothing.  Transfer rankings have historically skewed towards programs that are bringing in a lot of transfers.  We all know that a school bringing in three transfers should sometimes have a higher class ranking than those bringing in 5 transfers, but this is hardly ever the case.  More importantly, after the season we've just experienced, let's please not rev up the hype train yet again (with the exception being the one poster here who can't help himself when it comes to overhyping this program).

Next, it should be becoming apparent that CC is switching gears (and should be applauded for doing so).  Last year's team shot 35% from 3 averaging more than 28 three point attempts per game.  It loses it's two best three point shooters when factoring percentage and volume (Trey and Tre) along with it's arguably most naturally gifted long range shooter in Garrett.  (Perhaps CC indicating that the offense would be playing differently in 2026-27 helped prompt the Trey and Garrett transfers.)  For the past two seasons, CC has been attempting to replicate the NBA model on offense and has discovered that it's really hard to do this at the A10 level.  The nation's top programs often land the best outside shooters and can execute.  Exceptions like Miami, Ohio can take advantage of subpar defenses not getting back in time to defend (and even with their run and gun nature, still averaged fewer three point attempts per game than GW.)  But at the A10 level, the long range shooting isn't quite good enough and the defenses are more than athletic enough to disrupt. 

None of this should be interpreted to mean that GW will abandon the three point shot.  It's a legitimate part of the game and will of course still be incorporated.  However, 28 three point shots per game will likely decrease to somewhere in the 15-20 range if I had to guess.  Instead, we are bringing in players who can accelerate and get to the foul line.  That old Lonergan goal of making more free throws than the opponent attempts should be revived.  Expect to see more zone defenses from opponents who actually play zone a bit.
