To be fair we're the only ones who know about that at this point. If that was a public pronouncement through some official channel then that would make sense. That's just my view on it though...

Beej - if he put it on his Instagram account himself, I'd say it's pretty dang official.

Per transfer guru Jeff Goodman, and to the surprise of noone, Peter Moller is also transferring. You have to scroll all the way down to the Ms on this looooooooooong list:

Goodman puts Gielo at number 19 in his top 20 transfers. I have also heard that Tomasz in fact is leaving, but don't know where he is going yet.

I don't disagree Jon, what I was saying was that it didn't come through an official channel of the University (athletic website, university social media, etc.)

[BJWilliams]

Its coming straight from the horse's mouth (or social media as it were) to borrow a phrase

The horse's social media, or is it the social media horse??

The horse's (i.e. Retic's) social media...

If doesn't come from the University or SnapChat I find it dubious! Plus, why announce now and spoil Bachelorette?

We wont miss any of those guys. Take dembley and reid too. Gielo gets hurt every year and hes played soft since day one.

Wow. Bitter. You'd think we lose 20 games every year or something

Hey im happy ritchie is cleaning house. Big change is good with this group.

Moller GONE

With Retic and Moller's departures pretty much official and apparently Gielo's about to be, we are now at the scholarship limit of 13. I don't think we are quite done though. As far as the timing for the school officially announcing roster changes is concerned, they have shown in the past a preference for waiting til all the moves have been made and announcing everything at the same time. I would think it is coming pretty soon.

[Chris Lang]

Can't say which ones, but two others are gone as well. Tomasz is still making visits, last I heard, but he'll make a decision soon.

Can you confirm if both of those are from the current roster as opposed to incoming Layer recruits?

[Chris Lang]

Yes, from the current roster.

[olldflame]

One more question and I'm done Chris. Is it possible that Gielo is one of those 2, or is it 2 more in addition to Tomasz? The list of remaining players I can see transferring is getting pretty short, but I guess somebody could surprise us.

[Chris Lang]

Two in addition to Tomasz. Still not sure if he's staying or leaving. He's still going through the process.

Thanks Chris.

[BJWilliams]

If Gielo stays (which is certainly a possibility) that puts us at 14 right?

[olldflame]

It would, but then the 2 other transfers Lang mentioned would make it 12. If we lose Tomasz as well, it will be 11.

[SuperJon]

You're not including the two Euros we signed though, are you?

[BJWilliams]

I was factoring those two into my 14 number...it would mean shedding one more to get to the max level if Gielo returned to the mountain. Quite a dance we have at work with all these players

[olldflame]

You're not including the two Euros we signed though, are you?

Of course. Do you have any indication they aren't coming? Lang obviously doesn't. I'm really thinking if either had decided against coming to Liberty they would have long since asked for their release by now, and that would have been out there because they would be back in the recruiting pool. I expect them to be on campus for summer school.

[olldflame]

And the other 2 are Dembley and Andoh.

[olldflame]

Andoh is a bit of a shocker because he has used his redshirt and is entering his 5th year. I can only surmise he has a plan in place to finish his undergrad degree in summer school, which would make him eligible immediatly. I'm thinking with all the transferring he has done already, that could be a tough one to pull off though. Johnson did it, but he had one less stop than David.

[olldflame]

Andoh was productive in some areas, but was incredibly sloppy with the basketball. I think I can confidently say that whoever gets those minutes next year will have better than an 18/84 assist/turnover ratio.

[BJWilliams]

Ok. With Lang's tweet, the final lynchpin in this process as far as returning players goes is Gielo.
