Wonder if guys like Keys and Ripress graduated and were asked to move on.

[Hoss]

Without knowing much about either, I had high hopes for Thad Johnson and Shabazz Dotson.

[redpony]

seems like we are losing a lot of WRs and CBs. Do we better guys and adequate numbers to fill those positions?

[PonyTales]

Johnson, Brown, Palmer, Aglubat, Dorrity, Jones — not to be rude, but was any of them going to play this year?

Then look at the WRs in next year's class. Yeah, there is a major upgrade going on.

[JasonB]

No Surprise. Too bad that Dotson, Rispress, and Shelmire didn't work out.

[PNW_Stang]

Feel bad for Will Brown. Hope he ends up somewhere. Guy was exciting during the Michigan game.

[Charleston Pony]

Feel bad for Will Brown. Hope he ends up somewhere. Guy was exciting during the Michigan game.

Might be a pretty good QB at FCS level

Red pony - of the 32 listed only 7 were scholarship players - one was kicked off the team - one left for health reasons, none were starters and only one was in the rotation and that was limited

When I read through the list the only name that popped up in my head was Thad Johnson. While I am disappointed to see him leaving so soon, that is one position I am not really concerned about losing a player in especially since we keep adding some amazing players.
