If they refused to leave, we’d likely find a way to put them on a hardship. I would think those instances will be extremely rare as most have at least some desire to play football. Several of these guys have been on campus for four years already too. Right now 4 years on campus is still possibly a rs soph.

 

Keep going, HS and portal additions will almost certainly hit 35 or more

 

Yes crazy 2/3rds of a 2 deep on both sides

 

We should be pretty close to done for now I’d think/hope. I expect to see another smaller exodus after spring.

 

This. Some guys who hung around getting beat out in spring camp by the incoming talent

 

plus some just needing another semester to graduate

 

That's a lot of turnover. Just have to make sure the players who replace the ones leaving are better. It seems like that's going to be the case, but won't really know until next season. It's crucial to get quality players from the portal who can step in and contribute right away, especially in key positions like the defensive line.
