Next Years Team

[sirhoosierlot 3,206]

I'd like to see Malik finish his career here and I think he will. I'm still on the Tucker train because I think he can develop into a really really good player. Would love to have Goode back for another year. Rice, KC and Mbako will be surprises if they're here next year.

To me, the writing's on the wall that Tucker is gone.  Hasn't played a single minute in either of our last 2 games and only played 5 vs UCLA and 7 vs MSU.

Cupps is outta here. And some of the other guys it won't matter if they want to stay or not. It won't really be their choice.

I’m not sure Cupps is gone unless the new coach waves him off. Splitting would fly in the face of that whole Cupps family ethos that “we persevere through every damn thing”. But Dayton would love him. 

On the actual question the only 1 I’d bet a reasonable amount on staying is Reneau. Mgbako’s long gone. Jakai needs to go somewhere where every memory of college isn’t rehabbing. Tucker wants shots. If he sees shots in the new system, maybe. I’d bet against the Rice/Carlyle parley, but if the system fits them maybe the next guy tries to keep 1 or both of them.

If our new coach is currently  college coach, expect to see a player or few to come with them

Reneau is probably the only one I want back next year. The rest of them I could not care less.

Goode I would definitely welcome back, but there's no way he gets granted an additional year so I'm not really including him.  

I doubt Newton ever plays meaningful minutes, but I wouldn't mind keeping him around in case he does fully heal and get his chance.

Cupps to Dayton has seemed like a terribly kept secret since before Christmas, but I suppose it could have changed. No offense to him, but I won't lose a wink of sleep either way.

Complete list of players I would miss if they didn't return next year:

I had the pleasure of being in the locker room prior to HH the year before last.  Took my grandson and got to meet the players and walk around.  The only scholarship player to come over and generally talk to him was Reneau.  He was giving him high fives and asked if he wanted to get a picture.  Just from meeting him and not based on the game, he seemed to be a great ambassador for the team.   He left a good impression on me, and I would love to see him finish his career at IU.
