Position changes
Jordan Hansen from LB to Huskie
Devin Lafayette from LB to Huskie
Joey Rattin from LB to Huskie
Rashon Myles from LB to Huskie

My take on this is that they're going to be super active in the upcoming post-spring portal

RB Dingle? Thought I saw a group pic and he was here. If Juco isn't here now, good chance he won't show. 4 players moved to Huskie, seems odd. Is Huskie a db or LB?

We lost our kicker and long snapper from last year...what is going on?!?

My goodness every scholarship RB on the roster last year just straight up left...

The TE transfer from Pittsburgh, Kaymar Mimes, came for a year and never played.

Didn't some on here like the potential of Makhi Nelson-Douglas?

Outside of Antario Brown. Luckily, we kept the best one, but yeah, wow

Damn Akinimo Asuquo is out? I had high hopes for him.

Also Jordan White is out too?

Richardson had 1 year left , his 6th. He was a winner for us. Wonder what happened., maybe he just decided to move on with life. Also noticed Jordan White is not listed, he has 2 years left and came in from Youngstown St. I thought he could play. Interesting to see where Lomax,Fletcher and Bostad end up if they continue to play.

Also surprised Lomax left. Wasn't he athletically gifted?

Hansen to Huskie finally. it's a natural fit for a good tackler who can't quite cover WR's downfield. I don't think he will beat out Lafayette but he will do great subbing or filing in.

Really need some DE help. A lot of depth battles everywhere this spring/fall.

Mccray a bit of a shocker. Guess he didn't want to back up Rudolph his entire career.

Jordan White is kind of a shocker considering he got some good playing time towards the end of last season and seemed to make the most out of it.

Nelson-Douglas played quite a bit as a freshman but was in the doghouse last season. not surprising but disappointing he never panned out.

Shinhoster was a local kid who played quite a bit on special teams over the years.

Didn't know Jeff Griffin transferred. Went down a level to FCS. Maybe wanted a bigger role in the rotation?

richardson leaving is somewhat of a bummer- he was a solid kicker for us.

guess Gandy is done with football?

Go HUSKIES

But keeping strong quality players is a lot tougher. esp for a conference like ours.

What concerns / puzzles me is the schools the RB have gone to. IL St, Charlotte, Wy, Mid TN

Don't look for rationale. It will only make your head hurt trying to decipher the thinking of a 19 or 20 year old let alone one who makes a practice of hitting things with their head over and over.

Hammock has found a way to beat that….don’t recruit any strong, quality players.

White and Richardson are two that would have helped the team, although I felt like Richardson took a step back last year.

Richardson not staying puts us in a bind, reliable kickers in college don't grow on trees.

He definitely had a terrible streak for the first 5 games then finally reverted to his normal clutch self.

Wish he stayed one more year...
