I think Roberts will leave. Since his career highs of 20 points on 6/9 fg in 30 minutes in the loss at NC A&T, he played 11 minutes the next game, and hasn't played double-digit minutes since then.

I think based on that NC A&T game, the Syracuse game, and a few others, he probably feels like he can do more with a greater opportunity. Hofstra will probably try to sell him on coming for that opportunity here, but I think he showed enough this year that others will be interested, even if it's not in a bigger conference, but at a school where he can start and do more with a lot more minutes. Hope he stays, but I could easily see him moving on and excelling elsewhere.

I think Roberts might be a candidate to transfer, but based on what we know, he actually got more playing time than most expected. Even with Cruz and Edmead pretty much locked in, Roberts could be next year team’s version of Jalen Ray—a hot shooter coming off the bench and earning starter minutes. Also, isn’t there some family connection between Roberts and Speedy, or am I mistaken?

I’m also curious about AJ Willis. I thought he would have contributed more, but I did see some flashes from him this season.

As for German, I know he’s listed as a grad student, but there has to be a way to get another year of eligibility. Is it possible for a doctoral player? It’s been a while since he might not be on our roster.

According to Rick Cole every athlete has five years of eligibility, the five year start from the time they first register at school so long as they haven't been in college more than five years they are eligible for the fifth year

Unless you know something we don't know daHU I think the likelihood that we retain Cruz is in doubt(serious) but I think Edmeade is still in play. I'd like to see Victory back and DeCady and what about a 5th year for Biggie?? IDK what his eligibility status is? Wishful thinking about German though! One way or another I'd imagine we will put a competitive team on the court.
