OK, they're not quite done, they're updating on it right now. But since I'll be off the grid for the next few hours (colonoscopy, yay!) I thought I would post what I know so far. They've updated all returnees' 2021 stats and are adding in the new 2022 guys in alphabetical order. As of this writing they're up through Christian Nash. I'll update this when I come out of anesthesia.

Ed: I'm back and it looks like they completed the roster.

Thanks NIU, and good luck with the procedure. Remember to say a line from Fletch and ask the doctor if he ever did time

On the "Gone from 2021 Roster" that if there is no reason that they have either graduated or used all their eligibility?

Also, maybe I was asleep, but was there any news on Kaymar Mines a TE transfer from Pittsburgh? I don't recall any information that he was transferring to NIU.

Nice to see 4 new RBs. Just doubled size of that position group.

It happened relatively recently, in the last month or so. Had some impressive offers coming out of high school. Looks like a big, athletic kid much like Joiner.

With this offense I do not anticipate us having trouble recruiting backs, tight ends, and linemen.

6'5" and 225 back in 2018 according to 247 sports. Had other P5 offers from Wake Forest, Rutgers, and BC. I'm excited to see this kid.

Pitt's roster had him up to 255 last year. Was a DE in High School. Only one catch in his Pitt career.

He definitely has the TE physical stats down, let's hope he can ball. Thank you Pat Narduzzi.

Mason Blakemore?

Yeah, I mis-interpreted the initial post. I thought it was the entire roster.

My bad.

I'm back. It looks like they finished the roster and I just updated the first post in this thread. Dawson Ripperda is listed at WR rather than DE, and LB Nathan Ruble did not appear.

The guys who were expected but did not appear are below. Some may show up at a later date.
DT Jaylin Adams
RB Joshua Brown
DE Skyler Gill-Howard - Transfer from Upper Iowa
CB Sean Kinard
LB Nathan Ruble

I should be more clear on that. Some of those guys are finished with their eligibility and some left for parts unknown.

Kind of like how they list the eligibility of Kyle Pugh as "6th"------seems like they might have forgotten to add "or so" onto that. Welcome back, Kyle!!!

I’m so excited to see this team, and the depth We’ve built. Hammock is really building something here.

Where are all the Hammock doubters now? If there is a coach that can turn it around, get butts in seats, its Coach H. This team is going to crush it!

Which players changed jersey numbers?

At first glance:

Bostad 32 --> 43
Pierre-Antoine 88 --> 14
Shinhoster 46 --> 36

I look at some of the players that left and feel bad for some of them as I am sure they wanted to stay, but the competition that Hammock brings to this program for every seat at the table is incredible. In all my years of following Huskie football I have never seen such depth. The closest era and it is a distant 2nd was in the Novak era for 2003/2003.

The RB room is LOADED. LOADED. The 2 RB scholly recruits have the ability to compete immediately at this level. Offers from Ole Miss, Ga Tech, Minn combined with speed give us a glimpse. The OL are big, let see who wants to play, develop and compete. Those who survive are going to be dangerously good.
