How Many Football Players Will Leave?

[NewEnglandBull]

How many players will leave after seeing they are not in Willie's game plan for the future. I got a tweet today saying a DB will transferring. Could there be others?

If be take the full 25-27 in recruiting, as seems likely, we will have 6-8 from this year's team not playing next year. Combination of kids who graduate and will not play anymore, transfers and medical scholarships.

Maybe what they're calling Chris' scholarship.... Only got to play 3 plays and it's over. Absolutely sucks. He's been granted his release to transfer.

Medical scholarship is for kids who are injured so they don't count against the 85 man limit. I think we had a couple guys on it last year, there were articles in the times.

This article lays out some ways this is used.

The arcane NCAA rules and school's abuses of them rear their ugly heads once again.
