Thanks for the heads up. I am a big proponent of getting the roster down to a more manageable number, so I think while tough to process for a lot of these guys, it's something that needs to happen.  The roster last year was 60, which obviously had a lot to do with the 5th Years coming back. But even in 2020 the roster was I think 55. If Xtreme's roster on the first page of this thread is accurate (and based on reports it looks like it is), the number is still at 60.  In 2009, the last time SU won a national title, the roster was 51.  That means in a little over a decade, the roster somehow added an additional starting lineup. I don't see how that is sustainable for a coaching staff to manage.  How can you fully evaluate a team that big?

Anyways, if the rumor is true, and it's mostly upperclassmen  that will move on, I'm very curious to see who it will be, given that most of the upperclassmen have seen some actual playing time in their careers.  I don't want to speculate with actual names, I don't think that is very respectful to the guys in question, but I imagine some tough calls will have to be made.
