That's tough to speculate, but you could be right. I could see Thompson leaving if Murphy is fired. Epps might decommit as well. Other than that, I think Bond is kind of handcuffed here, unless he wants to go elsewhere to sit out a year just to play one final season. Plus, he's going to be "the guy" next season no matter who comes here.
Nobles is someone that I really want to stay, because I think he could be a very good player under the right system. He's the best three point shooter on this team, but doesn't get enough looks. Anyway, he's already used his redshirt, so he's essentially in the same boat as Bond, unless they both graduate early.
Jackson, Minnie, Harris, and Groce are all basically locked in. They won't sit out ANOTHER year to go elsewhere. Maybe one (or two) of Steele, LWH, and Madray leave, but I doubt Steele is one of them. Silver signed his LOI, so he's in too.
Thompson would be quite the loss, but we should still have some talent for a new coach to play with, and that's without said coach bringing in some of his own guys late in the game.
