Sheek Pearson - Commits to Saint Louis Pearson has committed to Saint Louis, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Pearson didn't play a single minute during the 2025-26 season, but he'll look to get a fresh start in a new program in 2026-27. The 6-foot-11 forward will compete for minutes in the frontcourt, but it's unclear what kind of role he'll have due to his inactivity.
MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Elijah Strong - Transfers to Saint Louis Strong is transferring to Saint Louis, per Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Impact Strong is headed to Saint Louis after averaging 10.0 points and 2.3 rebounds across 32 games for South Carolina during the 2025 campaign. The 6-foot-8 forward spent his first two seasons at Boston College and has one year of eligibility remaining.
APRIL 25 • ROTOWIRE
Alon Michaeli - Heading to Saint Louis Michaeli has committed to play for Saint Louis for the 2026-27 season, per Jeff Goodman of TheFieldof68.com.
Impact Michaeli will join the Billikens following a single season with Colorado. The 6-foot-9 forward averaged 7.1 points and 3.9 rebounds per game across 31 contests for the Buffs this past season. He will retain three years of eligibility with Saint Louis moving forward.
APRIL 19 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Jones was among a number of Billikens confirmed to be returning in a recent video on social media.

He will retain a single year of eligibility.
APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Kellen Thames - Returning to Saint Louis Thames will return to Saint Louis in 2026-27, per Stu Durando of STU on SLU.
Impact Thames spent the past four seasons at Saint Louis, and he'll return for a redshirt senior season after a career year in 2025-26 in which he averaged 9.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists. What's more, Thames produced those off the bench. He'll certainly have a shot to earn a starting role ahead of next season, but either way, his retention is huge for the Billikens.
MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE
Amari McCottry - Running it back with Billikens McCottry will return to Saint Louis in 2026-27, per Stu Durando of STU on SLU.
Impact McCottry blossomed into a starter for the Billikens in 2025-26, averaging 10.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists while shooting 52 percent from the field. The 6-foot-6 wing will return for his junior season, which is a key retention for Saint Louis heading into next year.
MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Green - Returning to Billikens Green will return to Saint Louis in 2026-27, per STU on SLU.
Impact Green will run it back in Saint Louis for his junior season. The guard assumed the starting point guard role for the Billikens in 2025-26 after spending two quiet seasons at Xavier, and he broke out, averaging 10.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists while shooting a scorching 44.2 percent from downtown on 6.1 attempts per game. This is a huge retention for Saint Louis.
MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE
Robbie Avila - End of outstanding career Avila finished Saturday's 95-72 loss to Michigan with nine points (3-13 FG, 3-10 3Pt), one rebound and five assists across 30 minutes.
Impact Avila will finish his collegiate career 10 points shy of the 2,000-point milestone after four seasons averaging double-digit scoring and 4-plus rebounds per contest. He may be remembered most for the rec specs and the nicknames, but Avila had also been a reliable fantasy producer in formats that featured him during two seasons at Indiana State and two more at Saint Louis.
