Figured we needed a thread on this.

Malek Harris was dismissed from K-State. I'm not even sure they will be able to field a team next year.

Marcus Foster was dismissed. Nino Williams graduated. Thomas Gipson graduated. Nigel Johnson is transferring. Jevon Thomas is transferring. Tre Harris was dismissed. I think that's everyone.

This is from Bierce at Horns247, but this is a good breakdown.


Big 12 men's basketball roster changes (not including guys who left before spring 2015)
Baylor[/B]
Leaving: Chery, O'Neale
Gaining: McClure, Mitchell, Lindsey, Acuil
Openings left: 1
Iowa State[/B]
Leaving: Dejean-Jones, Hogue, Edozie, Custer, Jackson
Gaining: Nick Babb (must sit a year; however Cooke becomes eligible in fall, Burton in spring, Williams was released from LOI)
Openings left: 3 (expect opening to be used on at least one more transfer)
Note: Naz Long just had hip surgery. Out 6 months. ISU also lost assistant coach Matt Abdelmassih to St. John's. He had been their recruiting coordinator who brought in most of those great transfers. He is also a St. John's grad. Cheick Diallo, who plays in the NYC area, had been strongly considering ISU. Now guess which school is trending in the crystal balls. Darien Williams recently asked for and was granted a release from his letter.
ISU just added Nick Babb, a transfer from Arkansas and Chris Babb's little brother.
Kansas[/B]
Leaving: Oubre, Alexander
Gaining: Bragg
Openings left: 3
Note: Yet to hear about Ellis and Selden

For a look at the guys coming in, here's the recruiting thread from the fall. Spring additions won't be included, but it will give you an idea of the strength of the incoming high schoolers. Most of the new additions are JUCOs.
 
The two big names that are waiting to make a decision are Taylor and Hield.

If I had to guess Taylor returns and Hield leaves. That's a total guess though.
