I couldn't find any consolidated information anywhere that listed all BE seniors that we won't have to face next year. So, I put this together. I also included players I thought may consider declaring for the draft. I included where there is no coach, something that may factor into players leaving. And if they aren't seniors, their appropriate class.
Disclaimer - I have zero, none, no insider knowledge. I'm a fan. I pay attention to BE and hate every other conference with the exception of a few teams here and there.
Syracuse
Onuaku
Rautins
Johnson (Jr)
R. Jackson (Jr) - Could declare w/o an agent, and be back. Maybe take Jardine with him.
Nova
Reynolds
Redding
Wooten
Fisher (Jr) - Doubtful he'd declare
WVU
Butler
W. Smith
Ebanks (Soph)
Pitt
J. Dixon
Adams
MU
Lazar
Cooby
Acker
Louisville
R. Delk
J. Smith
E. Sosa
Brickley
Samuels (Soph) - Probably didn't do enough down the stretch to warrant entering the draft.
Georgetown - No seniors.
Monroe (Soph) - Inconsistent play down the stretch might mean we'll see him next year.
ND
Andree
Hansborough
Harangoonie
T. Jackson - It seems like his 15th year.
Peoples
USF
Howard
Kardok
Mercer
Rivas
D. Jones (Jr)
SHU
Garcia
Harvey
Hazell (Jr)
J. Robinson (Jr) - No Agent.
(No Coach)
Cinci
Vaughn
Toyloy
Stephenson (Fr) - Doubtful, but had been considered a one-and-done before he hit the court.
UConn
Borton
Dyson
Edwards
Hornat
Mandelove - I've never heard of him. I think there was a joke on the Simpsons about this name though. (just found he's red-shirting this year)
Robinson
SJU
Mason
(No Coach)
Rutgers
Ndiaye
Rosario (Soph) - No idea what his relationship is with Hill. If it's good enough he'll stick around, but I sense he's frustrated - as is the entire program.
Providence
Burchett
Curry
Hall
McKenzie
Peterson (Soph) - His nickname is Greedy! Don't really see it happening though.
DePaul
Walker
Koshwal (Jr) - Depends on who coach is, and whether his injury plagued season will affect his status. I think we'll see him again next year.
(No Coach)
-----
Did I miss anyone?
Hansborough at ND is only a junior. Also, Jeff Robinson at Seton Hall declared for the NBA draft yesterday, although could be back if he doesn't sign with an agent.
The rumors on the DePaul boards is that Koshwal is gone.
basically, the BEAST is in for a down year, and is being gutted.
ND's got Hansbrough as a Senior.

Added Jeff Robinson.

But is he a sr with an extra year of eligibility?
Yeah it looks like you're right.

"Notre Dame's senior class of Tim Andree, Luke Harangody, Tory Jackson and Jonathan Peoples..."
Removed from the record.

My bad... Should have stated that he just completed his 3 year of eligibility. Yes, he is a senior academically, but he will have one more year of eligibility left.... Had to sit out last year due to his transfer to ND from Miss St.
Man-o-man if the Big East does happen to get gutted and we find someone to step up for Lazar, I like our chances!
Of course it doesn't matter since 96 teams will make the field.
great compilation of information T-bone
I smile a little when I see who MU won't have to face next year. Though those teams will recruit players to fill the roles that have been vacated, we still won't have to face players like Scottie Reynolds
A couple points--Monroe (GTown) is GONE. He will go in the top 10-15 AT LEAST, consistent or not. I think you are right about Fischer (Nova) and Stephenson (Cincy), as well as Ebanks (WVU). And I think Hansborough has that extra year.
Thanks for compiling the list though...I have been pretty bullish about next year, and this adds a couple more logs to the fire. We'll be pretty young, but I think MU stacks up pretty well. Nova will be very good, as will Louisville, and Pitt.
Based on that list, I think Pitt has to be the early favorite.
Even if Wes Johnson leaves, I think Cuse will be top 3. They have two studs coming in next year.

Yeah, we need to combine this with transfers and recruiting classes coming in. I can see a lot of teams just re-loading like 'Cuse.
Monroe is gone. With the threat of NBA lockout for 2011-2012, more players will come out this year so they can paid.
Does anyone know who Louisville's starting guards with be next year with the departure of Sosa & Smith? Does Pitino have any great guards coming in?

Peyton Siva will be the starting PG. Shooting guard is still up in the air. If Justin Coleman can qualify, he'd be the obvious choice. Otherwise it will be probably be Kyle Kuric.
Are you sure that Sosa and Smith from Looserville won't be coming back for what seems like their 8th year?

Why are all 16 teams going to make it?
Add Greg Monroe to the list who is probably leaving early.

An 11-12 lockout in Football and now Basketball?... crap

MU preseason will probably be ranked 17th of the 16 teams by coaches and what not. What do you think they'll be next year with MU proving people wrong this year?

It's all part of ESPN's secret plan to turn us into a nation of soccer fans. With only baseball on, people won't be able to complain about how boring soccer is, they'll have to watch.....or turn off the TV which we know won't happen.

Since we finish in the 4-6 range every season anyway, the coaches and media might as well put us there in the preseason polls. I feel like it's a reasonable expectation for us next year.

Eagles were better before Joe Walsh
Monroe will definitly be gone, but if he stays for some reason they are the favorites, inconsistent or not. Ebanks I think will be back. Dominique jones will def be back. Samuels will be back unless hes an idiot. That robinson guy will be back.
On another note, anyone else notice Brady Morningstar on KU turned 24 in January and.........hes only a junior? Wow.

Monroe has already announced that HE WILL BE BACK next year.
Sorry. (as much for me as anyone else).
Regarding:
SJU
Mason
(No Coach)
Is it possible that St John's will be better without a coach?

I think that Louisville will be improved with Peyton Siva as the starting point guard.
Monroe did say that he'll be back immediately after the loss to Ohio, but JT3 isn't quite sure.

It's a lot for a kid to think about, and I'm sure everyone has an opinion for him.
