Buckeyes (assuming Brice Sensabaugh goes pro)

Starters:
PG Bruce Thornton
SG Roddy Gayle
SF Eugene Brown
PF Zed Key
C Felix Okpara

Backups
SG Tanner Holden
PF Kalen Etzler
SG Bowen Hardman

Freshmen
SG Taison Chatman
SF Scotty Middleton
PF Devin Royal
C Austin Parks

If Sensabaugh stays slide him in at SF. Not sure if Key and Okpara can play at the same time or will spell each other. Wouldn't be surprised to see a freshman start. Also, wouldn't be surprised if Holden or Brown moved on.

Is it just plain impossible to win consistently at Penn State?

They have a handful of NCAA appearances and even wins but in their nearly 30 years in our league they have yet to win it and since expansion in 1985 they have just one S16 and nothing beyond that.

I'd say it's about to get ugly, but Kansas State is in the Elite 8 with an entire roster of transfers, so who knows.  Building a program doesn't really matter anymore in basketball

Sensabaugh declares for draft but maintaining eligibility...which I guess is still a thing.

There were over 1400 transfers last year in college basketball

A coach who doesnt recruit the portal hard will not be near as successdul as one that does

Izzo, Woodson, Howard, Pearl, among others sitting Courtside at Indiana HS state title game all ogling over Flory Bigunda.  This guy is a specimen for Kokomo, not enough though vs Ben Davis HS which will finish undefeated.

I’ll be interested how that turns. If that’s a long term plan or a short term reality.

No real movement yet from MSU.

Joey Hauser could technically play a 6th year, but it seems like he's done.

The questions are whether Walker comes back for a 5th year, and who transfers out.  There are two options, but it seems like true freshman PG Tre Holloman will return.  I love his length and defensive ability, but I don't see a path for him as an offensive contributor.  But it seems like he's returning.

My guess is Pierre Brooks is done.  Early, when we had injuries, he was a shooting contributor, but he is as bad a defender as I've seen under Izzo, and his shooting fell off a cliff.  There were 3 pretty similarly rated players in the in state 2019 class.  I liked Jaden Akins the best, and he has proved to be the best defender by a mile.  We'll see if he can take the next step offensively.  I was glad not pursuing Bufkin, but he has developed into a better player than I assumed, and is likely now off to the NBA.  But I put Brooks #2, and he won Mr. Basketball in the state.  He scored 15+ points in 3 of MSUs first 7 games, and was getting 30+ minutes.  But he hasn't made a basket since 2/4, and didn't play a minute in the tournament.  He got 4 minutes in the BTT, but those were his first meaningful minutes since the February 7 win over Maryland.  I'm guessing he's done.  He could be a high volume scorer in the MAC
