Transfer Losses:
2 years of Evans
1 year of Koulechov
1 year of Jackson
2 years of Letcher-Ellis
3 years of Lott
4 years of Douglas

Gains:
3 years of Josh Parrish
2 years (I think) of AJ Lapray
1 year of Dylan Jones
4 years of Osborne
4 years of Hunter
4 years of Spence

We also lost Drone to graduation, but his scholarship is still open.

Obviously it doesn't work quite like I have listed (1 year of Koulechov is really his 1 year, plus 3 years of another recruit). Still, I think the staff has done a remarkable job of filling the open scholarships.

The freshman in this class are interesting, either because they were somewhat unheralded (Spence), saw their recruiting interest start strong a few years ago before tailing off some recently (Hunter) or were late-risers (Osborne). None of them were really established recruits who maintained a certain level of interest over the past 1-2 years.

Remember that when Rhoades was hired, he had 6 open scholarships and only filled 4 of them (Mency, Koulechov, Van Green, & Nate Pollard). Obviously, Pera was stepping into an easier recruiting situation since he had already been on staff and involved in recruiting players for Rice. But Pera's 1st class is looking head-and-shoulders above what Rhoades did his first year. Particularly true when you consider that both Koulechov and Mency were recruited by Pera and Van Green was recruited by Carlin Hartman!
