Check out the news conference video from yesterday, link below.
I think it is apparent that he is not rushing seniors in terms of their decisions regarding coming back. He wants them to make a up their minds, be 100% committed and he does not want to step on any toes.
I think the exchange on the score when Kennedy's name came up was telling. Kennedy asked him what he was going to do differently. I am pretty sure Kennedy wants a bigger a role and little more freedom on offense, which would jive with what I heard regarding him being on the fence a little. Hopefully, Kennedy was satisfied with whatever the full answer was and he stays.
As far as others coming, if he reached out either through the transfer portal or offers that were made, he may have heard from some guys who maybe close to coming and he may not want to attract attention to them or be premature until things are official.
The good news for Drew is that he finds himself with 3 scholarships that we did not have for next year with Frank, Baylor and Cooper in the transfer portal. If the Seniors come back, he doesn't necessarily have to fill them for next year. If he does use them, he can go transfer portal and use it like you would JCs, except you already have seen what they can do at a D1 level, or you can take kids you offered or will offer.
