● David Punch (14.1 ppg and 6.8 rpg)
● Jayden Pierre (10.1 ppg and 2.8 apg)
● Liutauras Lelevicius (8.0 ppg and 3.4 rpg)

● Micah Robinson (10.9 ppg and 4.7 rpg)
● Brock Harding (8.0 ppg and 5.6 apg)
● Tanner Tolson (7.7 ppg and 3.2 rpg)

Roster additions

● Gavin Sykes (19.4 ppg and 3.0 rpg at Long Beach)
● DJ Thomas (6.6 ppg and 2.1 rpg at West Virginia)
● Luke Bamgboye (4.5 ppg and 3.4 rpg at Texas Tech)
● Trent Lincoln (JUCO transfer)
● Ryan Hunt (JUCO transfer)

The Frogs lost a few players to the transfer portal, most notably, Punch to the Texas Longhorns. That’s certainly a brutal blow to the program, but they did manage to keep a trio of starters, including Edmonds, Harding, and Robinson.

If Sykes can replace the impact that Lelevicius had on the perimeter, TCU will be in great shape. There’s also Lincoln and Hunt, two of the top JUCO transfers in this class. If their impact is near Edmonds from this past season, that’s another boost to the roster.

With the key pieces back and solid additions surrounding them, TCU’s roster is set for next year. Had they found a way to keep Punch, it would’ve been an “A+”. Still, it’s very good overall.

Grade: A-
