With us now being at the scholarship limit, the question is, are we done, or is it likely that we have another transfer out, thus freeing up a scholarship? I would think the most likely candidates would be Spell and Yates, and looking at the players we have coming in, I don't see the opportunities for PT getting better for either of them. On the other hand, their odds for landing a scholarship at another D1 program get slimmer with each passing day. D2 could be an option, but there is no guarantee there either, and it could be only a partial scholarship.
Look at what has happened with the 4 players from this year's roster who have already entered the portal. Only one has found a new home so far. There are certainly worse outcomes than to spend another year getting a free education and being part of a winning program with a great team culture, even if you don't get minutes. Of course, the choice is not entirely theirs, and if Ritchie has another transfer he really wants, he could choose not to renew someone's scholarship. He has done it before, but I really don't see it happening here. We should know soon, as I believe the deadline to renew scholarships is coming up.
