Doesn’t Tarleton have way too many guys listed?

Did Bengel officially leave GCU?

I missed Bangai on my original post but added him into the roster list today when I was looking at the number of WAC big men. However, I am not Drew will keep him since he is quite raw. As for Tarleton State's roster? Yes, there are too many players listed. Which leads me to believe BCG will cut some of last season's players once he is done recruiting the players he wants. The fact that he has recruited so many guards indicates very few of Reisman's guards will return; maybe just Bethely and Range. And the only two big men worth keeping are Gaffney and maybe Burt Jr. if he is healthy and still has eligibility remaining. But this is an opinion of an outsider looking into the program. Maybe the Tarleton State fans can give a better assessment.

Gaffney's legit. And if everything I've heard about Billy Clyde is true he already loves the guy. Kind of raw with a high motor. Outhustles and outworks his man for everything he gets. I bet he will blossom nicely under BCG's wing. Gotta love the Kareem goggles, too. Don't know much about Burt.

Burt was a pretty good JUCO in the 2018 class when he signed with Purdue Fort Wayne. But it appears he had injury problems there and transferred to Tarleton State. He has yet to step foot in a D1 game since he left JC ball; two seasons ago. So, I am unsure how much eligibility he still has left? And if he is now healthy? As for Gaffney, I remember him being a 3-star prospect out of high school. So the potential is there to be a good D1 player. BCG runs a high motor team so if he has hustle, can play good defense, and rebound, I am sure Gillispie will want his to stick around on the team. If Reisman had players who paced themselves offensively and defensively, BCG will probably tell them to look elsewhere to play. I expect Tarleton State to be undersized and scrappy at first until BCG can load the roster with talent.
