Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 2422844, member: 485"] Right, and this is typical -- happens nearly every cycle. When people ( PS writers, for example) take an early cut, they predict a small class. By the time we reach the signing date, there are 6 or 7 more scholarships available (large class) due to transfers, injuries, miss-adventures with the law, and academics. It gets attention now because the transfers are Shafer's guys in the Babers' era, and the DB transfers are players who at one time were in the 2 deep. But there are always transfers. Sometimes it is the QBs (Long, Kimble, Wilson) who can judge where they stand; this round it is the DBs who can see they won't get the roles they want since there are returning players who are better, and there are rising red-shirts who are promising. It is the law of large numbers. 85 in the roster. 65 or so eligible to return. Several won't -- reasons for transfers will vary, but several won't stay with the program. [/QUOTE]
