Good news. I assumed the lack of chatter about his interest lists was a good sign he could return. Anyways the why doesn't matter, glad he is back.

Assuming Brantley is back as well, what's the roster look like?

Nice: if we get the last 10 games Shep and another step forward he really helps this program. If Brantley is back I think we have 2 scholarships. We still need someone else who can score and another big man.
Never thought I would say this back from early last season, but I really wish Rokas came back.

If Khalil comes back, I think we still need another guard. Only would have Khalil, Jones and Andres so I think a guard from the portal should be a priority. If Lilley gets starter minutes and Rokas doesn't come back the coaches will have to decide what the big kid from Greece is ready to give us. If he can't play 12 minutes or so we need another big which really leaves us short at the wings. We only have Fasasi and Shep with Andres swinging between guard and forward. Not sure if the priority should be a big or a wing if we only have 2 scholarships to give and we use one on a combo guard

You mean Rokas? He is an improving big man from what I saw the last 10 games or so. Bad hands and all. La Salle isn’t going to land a better big man. If we could then I am all for letting him go. That isn’t going to happen so I would rather have him back with a proven transfer who can score and call it a day. Rest up before next season. That is the best we are going to do from a recruiting standpoint. Hopefully all returnees take a step forward and we get a contribution from Jones and Lilley.

We need someone that can score at that position and make others better. I am not comfortable giving Brantley the keys.

I don't think Rokas can play. It's the last time I'll ever watch a European highlight film and get excited about a recruit. But if you think he makes our team better, then throw the kitchen sink at Jig, get rokas back, and maybe we win 19 or 20 next year.

Figured he was testing the market again to retain an as good or better offer at home. Crucial piece on the roster and someone we can build around, so glad he's been secured.

I think Rokas can play, but he really, really, REALLY needs to work hard on his hands and to a lesser extent on his aggressiveness.
