What Players Leave After The Season?

That would make a ton of sense regarding Stepp.  He showed some flashes at times when he was at USC.  Seems like a good candidate to go the G5 route, try and stay healthy and get a lot of touches.  Kudos to him on locking up that degree, wish him the best regardless if he moves on or not.

Still at 88 with 2 weeks until camp...

Are there any recruits who haven't made it to campus yet?

Will they toss Nouili off scholly for 1 year?

Are any scholarships subject to availability limits. It seems likely they have some plans.  They gave em out with numbers in mind.  The medical hardships could be a factor.  With NIl $, there should be funds for em all one way or another.

I am a little surprised that there were a couple more leave after the spring semester.  Stepp, Johnson, Lynn, Hardy, Grimes, Conn plus another QB or RB would not have been surprising.

I believe all the newcomers are here at this point.

I think there are plenty of candidates to leave, but it's kind of odd at this point.  It's not like you can get a few more practices in and see where you are. 

Not sure if they can yank Nouili's scholarship or not.  I suppose it's possible.

 
Word is Tyreke Johnson (5* transfer from OSU who has never seen playing time) is graduating this summer and no longer with the team.

That would get us down to 86.

 
Wonder what was up with him, to be such a big bust? Didn't want to commit to football?

I forgot all about "Mr Showtime". He was supposed to be the best safety in his class. 

How is he such a bust that he couldn't get any stats? Even on special teams? Dude got on the field at Ohio State but can't sniff a punt defense here?

I thought I read once that he's very timid tackling.  If so, that's not usually good for a safety.

Stepp never really got it going. It almost seemed like he was timid running through holes. Just a guess.

What are those? Did our line make many of them last year?  :facepalm:

I think you have a point, I also think Held & Co. had their own ideas and kept trying to force their own players into the spotlight when they were clearly not the best option. It always frustrated me (and presumably the players) how the coaches tended to throw the smallest backs into the teeth of a defense in short yardage situations. And too often a player would have a good series then not be seen again for 2-3 possessions. Hard to develop flow if they only have one or two series a half.
