I think he did [I]forecast this problem[/I].  As far back as July.

Did anyone predict the following three players would be entering the portal?
[LIST]
[*]Cantin-Arku (So)
[*]Harper (RS-Jr)
[*]Cole (RS-Fr)
[/LIST]
All three played a significant amount of football this season and would likely do the same next year.  Do you think any one of them entered the [I]"portal based on his style of play decisions/coaching decision"[/I]?

[B]For bonus points... [/B]  Did anyone see Labrosse (Fr) walking away after week one?

That's four defensive players with a lot of eligibility remaining who would have accounted for a lot of snaps next year.   One safety, one corner, one linebacker, and one defensive tackle.

Roster depth could be a problem next year.  Who knows?  Camp opens in 8 months.  A lot can happen between now and then.

I'm fairly confident Dino and his staff will bust their tails to build the best roster they can build.  They may not fill all 85 scholarships spots for various reasons, like leaving 1 or 2 for the late addition from the portal or saving 1 or 2 for a walk-on who is contributing (Darton, Hawkins etc...), but I am confident any open scholarships will not be due to negligence or laziness.
