Looking at the All BW MBB team for last year, and who is returning:

1st Team:

De'Sean Allen-Eiken-CSUN: Graduated .
Pierre Crockrell II- UC Irvine -Graduated
Ajay Mitchell- UC Santa Barbara- Declared for NBA draft
Elijah Pepper- UC Davis- Graduated
Bryce Pope- UC San Diego- Transferred to USC
Aboubacar Traore- Long Beach State- Transferred to Louisville


All-Big West Second Team

Kaleb Higgins-Cal State Bakersfield: Graduated
Justin Hohn- UC Irvine_ returning to UCI
Ty Johnson- UC Davis: In transfer portal
Justin McKoy- Hawai'i: Graduated
Lassina Traore- Long Beach State- Transferred to Xavier


Honorable Mention:
Dionte Bostick (CSUN), Transferred to NMSU
DJ Brewton (Cal State Fullerton), Graduated
Noel Coleman (Hawai’i),Graduated
Bernardo da Silva (Hawai’i), Graduated
Barrington Hargress (UC Riverside), returning to UCR
Andre Henry (UC Irvine), returning to UCI
Tyler McGhie (UC San Diego), returning to UCSD
Isaiah Moses (UC Riverside), Returning to UCR
Francis Nwaokorie (UC San Diego), returning to UCSD
Kobe Sanders (Cal Poly), transfer to Nevada
Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones (UC San Diego), returning to UCSD
Yohan Traore (UC Santa Barbara), In transfer portal
Marcus Tsohonis (Long Beach State) Graduated

Bottom line, of the 6 1st and second teamers with remaining eligibility, only Justin Holm (UCI) is staying put.

Of the 9 honorable mentions, 6 are staying put.

UCSD, while losing Brice Pope, has 3 honorable mention players returning, UCI returns 2nd teamer Holm and hon mention player Andre Henry, UCR returns 2 honorable mention players in Moses and Hargress.

Uncomfortable fact, all players who made any level of all BW and are returning to their school are from UC schools, none of the 4 from CSUs with eligibility remaining will return.
