For an update on GCU's roster, Lopes fans are having to piece things together without an official published roster. However, an interview with Drew was just published where he speaks in depth and for the first time as to what each member of the 2020 recruiting class listed above brings to the team. If I'm being optimistic, this leads me to believe that all of these guys are on-board for next season, including the former Majerle signees (except those we already know have been released from their NLIs). Drew also said that they have one open scholarship remaining for next season and are recruiting the globe to fill it.

Interestingly enough, there wasn't much discussion about the (possible) returnees. Again, Lopes fans get a glimmer of hope from this same interview when Drew states that one of the signees would come in as a backup to Jovan, but that's about as official as it gets. For what it's worth, the official team twitter account published a graphic on May 4th that had all the returnees and walk-ons listed above. This makes me at least slightly hopeful that almost everyone who hasn't already entered the portal will be back for 2020-21.
