Also quoted most of this in the Sila Finau thread, whose commitment is the main emphasis of the article, but the below linked-to article also contains some general Buff team recruiting and attrition news-
"
...
CU has eight returning players, including seven on scholarship (Carter, who was on scholarship last year, is slated to technically be a walk-on this year). The new additions give the Buffs 12 scholarship players for next year.
Payne said it's possible the Buffs will add another player this summer.
Guard Sara Castro, who played 140 minutes over 17 games last year as a freshman, has decided not to return to the Buffs and instead look for an opportunity elsewhere.
"
Note- Ms. Castro will become the 3rd non-graduated player not returning, as an earlier article (also noted in another allbuffs thread) said two JC transfers from last season ( Janae Bunn and Jaimie Curtis) also weren't returning. (They both would have been seniors this coming season.) The later 2's status seems to be even more confirmed now as neither is on the Buff's 2018/ 19 roster (http://cubuffs.com/roster.aspx?path=wbball&roster=441&sort=class), although Ms. Castro is still appearing there.
Note 2 - Don't know if it's just an anomaly, or is common in U.S. college basketball overall but, with Ms. Castro being the latest example, it doesn't seem either the men's or women's bball teams have had the greatest results lately retaining European players.
