● Parsa allah (14.7 ppg and 6.0 rpg)

● Victorious Miller (10.8 ppg and 2.7 rpg)

● Benjamin Ahmed (4.9 ppg and 3.6 rpg)
● Ryan Crotty (2.5 ppg and 1.5 rpg)
● Mekhi Ragland (1.4 ppg and 1.6 rpg)

Roster additions

● Jacob Walker (11.5 ppg and 2.5 apg at Sam Houston)
● Jordan Burks (13.3 ppg and 4.8 rpg at UCF)
● Kasie Natt (10.8 ppg and 8.2 rpg at Sam Houston, needs waiver)
● Luka Bogavac (9.8 ppg and 2.2 apg at North Carolina)
● Andrija Grbovic (6.8 ppg and 2.9 rpg at Arizona State)
● Julius Halaifonua (9.5 ppg and 4.4 rpg at Georgetown)
● Anthony Felesi (4-star wing prospect)

Five double-digit scorers left the Cowboys this offseason, including multiple via the transfer portal. But they do keep Clary, who can be a lead guard candidate. Bogavac and Burks are quality wings, while Natt, Halaifonua, and Grbovic give them frontcourt depth.

Felesi, a top-50 prospect who de-committed from Pittsburgh this offseason, was another key boost to the roster. The concern is that there’s depth; this could be another scenario where the lack of high-end talent limits their ceiling for making the NCAA Tournament.

Still, for a program that doesn’t have a ton of resources on the basketball side of things, it’s been an impressive collection of talent for them. Coach Steve Lutz has a good group to work with once again.

Grade: B+
