2024-25 Season

[NilesGold]

I couldn't make the zoom but my guess is Cross and Sool. Really, really hope I am wrong on both. They are both huge next season.

I have no idea why Diggins would leave, he's thriving here. Cross I can see. I'll say it's DHS and Foster.

Diggins has a child, presumably in the Philadelphia area? Either way, he can probably parlay this past season into some NIL $, but who knows if UMass will want to pay him what he can get in the open market. Just my 2c, Diggins was a competent guard, but too inconsistent, not a great defender, not great at creating offense, and just overall not a great fit.

DHS seems unlikely to leave, his stats don't pop out and I doubt he can get all that much NIL in the open market.

Foster, Worthy, and Majok I would think are likely to leave as it's hard to see them ever sniffing the rotation.

Tough to say on any of them. Kids can improve greatly, some more than others. It's all tough sledding right now

Why are we guessing about who's leaving? We'll find out soon enough.
Regarding Chad Venning , if you're saying the possibility is "interesting", well I can't say what our angle on him could be or why he'd want to come play for a team they have always beaten. But, his worthiness and potential impact is more than "interesting" . Having watched him play a couple times this year, I'd say he's better all around than any 5 we've had at Umass in years. And if Martin really is looking for a back to the basket "5", he's perfect

Because it's a message board where people post their opinions about the basketball team?

Just commenting on Worthy. I think he's a candidate to leave, but not for the reason you mentioned. He's from California and a lower level would be good for him, but it's hard to say that he wouldn't sniff the rotation when he played a pretty decent amount this year as a freshman. He logged minutes in 25 games, averaging over 11 mpg.

While I don't think he excelled in anything this year, I could see him developing into a tough defensive minded guard that can be valuable off the bench. I don't have much hope for him as a point guard, shot maker, or shot creator though, which is why I think he should look for a lower level.

Could all be true Juice but people said the same about Keon last year. I'd like to see him stay, develop this off-season, and see how he looks next year. I like the kid
