Transferring: G Kadary Richmond (Fr., 6.3 ppg), F Robert Braswell (RS Soph., 3.8 ppg), John Bol Ajak (RS Fr., 0.2 ppg)
Seniors: F *Marek Dolezaj (9.8 ppg, 5.1 rpg), C Bourama Sidibe (1.5 ppg)
Back: G *Buddy Boeheim (Jr., 17.8 ppg), F *Quincy Guerrier (Soph., 13.7 ppg, 8.4 rpg), F *Alan Griffin (Jr., 13.3 ppg, 5.8 rpg), G *Joseph Girard (Soph., 9.8 ppg), F Woody Newton (Fr.), C Jesse Edwards (Soph.), C Frank Anselem (Fr.)
Add: F Benny Williams (No. 25)
Transfer Add: F Cole Swider (Villanova, Jr., 5.7 ppg)

‘Cuse could return four starters next season if everyone comes back. The only significant departures right now are that of Dolezaj and Richmond, but Jim Boeheim will bring back his son, Buddy, in addition to Guerrier, Griffin and Girard. The Orange also added Villanova transfer Swider, who can really shoot it, and one of the top frosh in the country in Williams.

This analysis also does not factor in the addition of Symir Torrence nor the potential addition of Jimmy Boeheim. It also assumes Alan Griffin will return. Regardless, it is interesting that one national college basketball writer thinks that highly of the Orange's roster for next season. It will be interesting to see if others follow suit.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
