To me, this is a sad day. We all knew that it was probably coming, but still sad. Over the last couple of years, I have really enjoy watching the three of them play, and somehow had hoped that the AD and new incoming coach could somehow figure a way to get these guys to stay. Oh well, we did know that this was a possibility if we made a coaching change, and I really do thing that making that change was the best for us in the long run. Again, time will tell!!! Good luck guys!!! We have all really enjoyed watching you play for LBS!
Of the 3 transfers listed for LB I think L Traore has a chance for NIL money because: he's 6'10". he can rebound, and he can shoot well enough. Can he play good enough D in a P5 conference?
AJ George as a soph will be getting good NIL offers as he has a high BB IQ, he can score, rebound, and play tough D.
No school may give them the large NIL offer they desire and there is an outside (small) chance they stay after a new coach is named at LB.

"There is expected to be significant turnover on the roster with the coaching change and presumably a whole new staff."
Presumptious, knowledgeable? Unsurprising if true. Any of the remaining 3 who stay I'd be pleasantly surprised. Still on AJ in the portal
