Illinois State: Redbirds will have all players eligible to return for the 2022-23 season, so they had zero signees in November. I’m sure that they will have some who will enter the transfer portal at the end of the season, which will open some scholarships for the spring signing period.
UNI will lose Berhow and Pickford for sure.
AJ Green has said all along that unless he's not healthy that this will be his last year.
Austin Phyfe is definitely coming back for his 6th year.
The rest of the roster including the 3 redshirts are back.
One signee in PG Trey Campbell.
Assuming all that is true, UNI has one open scholarship for the spring.
AJ will have to decide if he wants a chance at an NCAA bid and whether he can get it at UNI or somewhere (Iowa State) else. Probably did not show enough to get a shot at the draft and then it's if he wants to go to Europe or not.
Phyfe will all depend on health, nothing is definite. Not sure he will be willing to fight through another year like this year. If he can get healthy enough to go 20-25 minutes, he will be back.
We have two scholarship slots if AJ and Phyfe come back because of the COVID leniency, whether we use them or not is a different story. I kind of expect that we will pursue at least one portal player.
