Jay Drew: Potential roster moves
Posted: Thu Apr 13, 2017 9:19 am
Jay Drew updated his blog after the awards banquet: http://www.sltrib.com/blogs/byusports/5 ... fullpage=1
He revealed some potential roster moves--though they are not official yet:
- Jamal Aytes has 1 year of eligibility left but is graduating in June--the first in his family to earn a college degree--and may not return for next season. He spoke after receiving the Coaches Award and sounded like a farewell speech.
- Davin Guinn has 1 year of eligibility left but is graduating in June and is planning on a joint JD/MBA program. Speculation is he will not return to focus on academics.
- Corbin Kaufusi was already said to be quitting basketball to focus on football, but is reportedly going to meet with Coach Rose today to make a final decision on his future.
- Eric Mika (as we know) declared for the NBA draft but hasn't hired an agent. The withdrawal deadline is May 24 so we should know his status by then.
Other already known roster updates include:
- Zac Seljaas is home early from his mission for medical reasons and will rehab his shoulder injury through the summer. Is expected to rejoin the team this fall.
- LJ Rose and Kyle Davis have exhausted their eligibility.
As a side note, if Guinn and Aytes both leave the program, there would be no seniors on the team for 2017-18 (unless we get a graduate transfer or something).
