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

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

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

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.

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

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.
