Pure Fantasy speculation on my end, but what are the % chances All Wright ends up back at Valpo?

 

Also any word on Tupolo coming back or not?

Based on what I’ve heard, it seems pretty likely Shon is coming back. Obviously, nothing is official until there’s an announcement, but from the feedback I’ve gotten, I don’t have any reason to think he won’t return. Shon is really the anchor of the frontcourt, and honestly, Valpo gives him more opportunity than he’d probably have anywhere else. There are other factors too, but all things considered, it makes a lot of sense for him to come back. Shon is the man on and off the court!
 
@beacon92 I believe Shon has 2 years of eligibility left. He should qualify as a 5th year senior since he previously played NAIA, I don't know that as fact. I will ask the question, if I find out I will let you know for sure.

I would love to see All Wright back in the Valley and maybe Murray or somebody can make him a competitive bid. BUT! He would need to WANT to return to Valpo and PLAY for Roger Powell for it ever to have any chance of happening.

I think All is playing in the A10 or American next year! I’m curious as well, I don’t think Valpo is an option but elsewhere in the Valley I’m sure is in play!

All Wright is going to be one of those players that ends up in the portal every season in his career.  He likely wasn't happy with shot count at Xavier, and will transfer somewhere where he can have a bigger impact for his Junior year, with the hopes that he ends up at a true P4 school for his Senior year.  

 

Tupuola needs another year at Valpo to develop his touch around the rim.  Great shot blocker/defender and rebounder, but to take the next step in his basketball journey, he needs to develop that veteran touch on the offensive side.  My guess is that he does so for us next season, and then takes a P5 second team role for his final season.
