2026-27 Staff and Roster

[bearcatbret]

Scott Springer says Jordi Rodriguez is out too (not sure if he is first to report, but was first I saw) -- no returners unless anyone pulls their name out of the portal/is welcomed back.

CJC has said that once a player enters the portal, he is done at UC.

CJC has said that once a player enters the portal, he is done at UC.

Had heard another site had Xavier’s transfer class at #5 ?
Maybe included what they lost where this site didn’t take that into account?
