There are some every year no matter what.. Id love to see 5-7 spots open while not losing anyone great use the 5 spots to take jucos all linemen and maybe a rb That is a fair point.

Given the size of football rosters, the extremely hard work the players put and the limited opportunities for guys to make big splashes it’s not at all unusual to lose up to 10 guys a year (including walk ons)

Every year we lose some because they do not want to be here. We force some to leave, Some are just not healthy enough to go on..

I'll be shocked if Hall returns. He's shown what he is capable of with even semi-competent QB play. He can probably go to a lower level Power 5 team (maybe Kansas where Les Miles is about to take over) and get much more TV time and produce for a better team. Ala Hazelton, who is leading VT in every statistical category for receivers as a sophomore.

These guys need/want an offense that will highlight them and enable them to show out. That ain’t ours.
We recruited a bunch of dbs who are sophomores this year and I’m sure we told them they’d have a good chance to play right away, or at least a lot. Instead most of them haven’t been able to get on the field on a bad defense. I’m sure they aren’t happy about that.

I imagine a lot of decisions have already been made but I wonder if anyone will wait around to see what, if any, changes might be made.
If you're on the defensive side of the ball and Elson doesn't return, does that push you on out the door or do you give it another year?
If you're on the offensive side of the ball and you're getting the idea Neal is still the QB if healthy, I'd probably bolt too. But if you're someone like Hall who's seen his production double with Plitt at QB, does the upward trend convince you to hang around?

That JUCO recruiting this year produced very little bang for the buck, some not even ever appearing on the roster. I was a surprised but maybe that is the problem with JUCO FB. With ordinary use of red shirts at most FBS schools letting schools take a chance that way, the guys in JUCO may be even riskier than BB.

So far it is players that haven’t had much of an impact. Hopefully it stays like that.
