As of this writing Texas Tech has five players of consequence returning. They are swingman Darrion Williams, shooting guard Chance McMillian, shooting guard Kerwin Walton, small forward Devan Cambridge and power forward Eemeli Yalaho. I’d like to provide some assurance those players will indeed be Red Raiders next season, but if bidders from other programs come along and utter the magic numbers, who knows?

If that quintet sticks around, it appears from this coign of vantage Grant McCasland and his staff will focus primarily on point guards, power forwards and centers. And with the transfer of Pop Isaacs, finding a bucket-getter, probably a combo guard, is now also a high priority.

Waiting for roster developments during the offseason can seem much like an extended “hurry-up and wait” scenario for fans of the UNC Basketball program. While there’s quite a bit of behind-the-scenes activity around the transfer portal, Hubert Davis and his staff still await public decisions from RJ Davis and Harrison Ingram. Sherrell McMillan and Joey Powell take a look at what’s happening publicly and otherwise around Tar Heel Hoops.
