So who is still left?

- Start date
Ish, Austin, and Dunn are out of eligibility.
The twins, Barnes, and Delalic are in the portal.
That leaves your list plus Ndiaye and the walkons.
I wouldn't have minded seeing all of the players in the portal stick around and some of the people still here leaving, but at this point we probably need to keep who we have. It's hard to say whether those players are not in the portal because we're making an effort to keep them, they are weighing their options, or they are actually committed to staying here of their own volition.

I think Lowe and Corhen will end up in the portal as well. Capel better be working that portal really hard right now and not for bench players. He needs 3 or 4 starters.
This is why I would have liked to see the twins and Delalic stick around. It's a lot easier to go hard after 4 or so ACC caliber starters when you have some experienced backups in hand.
If he has to recruit 4 - 5 starters plus enough players to actually be able to practice, it's going to be a long season coming up.
Plus #0 and those 4 guys that never get into a game even when you're winning or losing by 50
Capel must do a better job in using portal to fill in holes this year than he did in filling the holes that were left last year when Bub went pro and Blake graduated. Needs to grab well coached 4th and 5th years who need one more opportunity to attract pro attention. Capel is out of time for doing a 2-3 year rebuild.
Capel must do a better job
You could have stopped right there. 👆
The pays pretty good , but being a HC sucks right now unless you’re at a highly funded school .
For a coach like JC he not only needs to have a keen eye for talent , but he has to hope that those players ( like Bub ) slip through the cracks .
When you do find that diamond can you afford to keep him ….tough business.

Fill in holes? That’s what teams that are already nearly good to good do. He’s nearly starting over.
And we don’t know for sure who’s even staying.
We don't have holes to fill. We have large canyons where we even have players currently on the roster who should be cut loose. I have yet to see any possible portal player of interest that would help us to the extent needed that we are looking at or that is looking at us. I know it's early, so we have to wait and see.
If Lowe stays and can revert to 1st round projection status, rhat woukd fill in a large gap. That may require a position/role change.
Cummings showed flashes. Needs some weight but if he takes a step forward it’s not a bad start.
Capel previously could identify talent at the. It didn’t turn out to be so this year, but Toney, Champ, Hinson, suggests he can probably get someone again. Then you have the issues with interior. At this point, I’d rather keep Kante and Corhen than try to bring in 8 more lottery tickets. They need upgrades yes, but if they are 6/7 off bench, not awful.
Well WE don't know for sure, but Capel almost certainly knows.
He certainly knows who is considering leaving and who is solid to stay at this point.
