I checked - the answer is no. Here's the list of scholarship players that have left each year (I excluded the revolving door of walk-ons):

Ty Taylor
Corey Henderson, Rian Holland, Tevin Glass
Derail Green
Jake White
James Anacreon
Jerome Hamilton, Tyler Richardson
Kenny Manigault, Mason Felter (walkon?)
Reggie Chamberlain, AJ Hawkins
Gal Mekel, Wendell Preadom
Ryan Bradley, Arbry Butler, Chris Brown

Your excellent research must be admired, but there are a couple of names on the list that I had hoped to forget.

And there are a couple of names that I do not remember.

2015 seems to be the exception since the Shockers started going to the NCAA annually.

I did leave out that guard from New York, Ede something. I couldn't find him on a roster and didn't remeber what year he left.

Ede Egharevba. Signed in the spring of 2011, left in the fall of 2011. Suspected that a strong recommendation to redshirt was the cause I of his departure.

Kenny
Arbry
James

I had high hopes for Kenny and James. My hopes were dashed. No reflection the player though. I just wanted to forget my disappointment.

Good article.

"Reaves played point guard as a freshman and sophomore on state champions and largely deferred shots to older players, including brother Spencer and Cole Crabtree (Cade’s brother). As a junior and senior, Cedar Ridge needed him to score."

"The 2016 team went 36-3 with Reaves averaging 32.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists. He scored 73 points in a triple-overtime game and scored 56 or more four times. Even with those crazy numbers, his teammates regard him as a point guard, one always willing to pass.

“He gets me the ball every time he can, but he knows when it’s his time to step up and take the game in his hands,” said Cade Crabtree. “He makes me look better. He makes everybody look better.”"

Jeez, Paul, if you're going to crown him, f*****g crown him! Now we know who to blame if Reaves doesn't pan out.

"He gets me the ball EVERY time..." Wow, Caid Cabtree, talk about lofty unattainable expectations on a kid.

Yup, I saw that. I just figured since ARShocker is pretty close to him, he can provide even more insight as it happens :)

Austin has signed. Coach Marshall can comment now.

"His scoring numbers stand out, because that's what he needed to do in order for his high school team to be successful, but we think Austin is the complete package," Marshall said. "Growing up in a basketball family, he's already developed a great skillset. He handles the ball well, plays good fundamental defense, and has a knack for getting to the foul line. He's also a guy who excels at making plays for others."
