Wonderful. Now we need one less frontcourt player. But Castro will need a lot more help up front, especially with Hansen departing. Really successful teams need multiple, talented big men-- historically a problem for GW. Players that can shoot free throws would help immensely too.

Huge news for the team. That graphic has what could be our starting 5 next year though I think we need to bring in a real SF.

I did notice that graphic doesn't include Zam. Is it safe to assume he'll be portaling?

Great news! GW on the rise!

I am a bit surprised that Moss is returning as he was buried near the end of the bench for most of the conference season and I thought he may have been in a bit over his head in the A-10. Still...stability in this day and age is good.

With all the talk of the starters coming back, I just wanna say how proud I am of Trey Moss for coming back. This is a guy who saw his PT fall off a cliff when we transitioned from non-Conference to A-10 player. Today, a lot of players would transfer after that type of adversity. I am so happy he has the toughness to stick around continue his basketball career at GW. I think he's got a great chance to be a contributor on what is shaping up to be a pretty good team.

Fantastic news!!

It's pretty simple concerning Trey Moss. He either must substantially improve his three point shot (hint: almost all of his misses fell short) or take far fewer shots. As a guy who can drive and dish, help break presses and shows solid instincts on defense (though this needs to be more consistent), there is definitely a role for him on this team. He has to learn to cut back on the empty possessions.

Happy and grateful to see a number of players coming back. Speaks well with respect to a desire to play for CC and his assistants, as well as an ability to be competitive with NIL to an arguably better than expected extent.

Great news. Now to get a rebounder.

it's crazy that we're at the point of having graphics and videos to announce when someone is not transferring.

I love the way they coordinated this announcement. Made a much bigger impact.

Glad to see some key elements coming back, minus Jun. But huge return in Castro.
Plus CJ, Trey A. Ty really has a lot of potential, made some really helpful 3 pointers in limited minutes and may have been underused this year.Garrett is an excellent shooter, but would be surprised if he wasn't coming back.
But the point above describes college basketball in 2025.
How have we nailed them down? Is it signing again year to year scholarships?
Personal services contract with the school?
How is this done?
Long and destructive way away from just a few years ago.

Haha, was wondering that myself.

Very pleased with the core six returnees ! Add in a few serviceable portal pick-ups and some decent freshman recruits, and we should be better than we were this past year. Another 20+ win season with an improved overall quality of opponent in the OOC, and over .500 in Conference play should be a reasonable expectation - and a successful season. Breakout player - Trey Autry; All A-10 - Castro. How Garrett comes back will be a major key. If he and/or CJ regress significantly from past performance and what is expected (think Jun this year), it could be a long year.
