So... In hindsight, wholesale slaughter should have started at 8 guys leaving.  Or sure feels like wholesale slaughter, especially when 8 guys leave and only 5 guys chime in to replace them.  The roster is still a work in progress, but the chance to enter the transfer portal is over.

70% of us thought it would be only 2-4 players leaving, including Williams who already left the team.  Boy were we wrong!

The roster carnage leaked out slowly, with months of transfers, so it really didn't seem that bad. Few of the transfers really hurt.

But we definitely turned over most of the team, with only 5 of 13 scholarship players staying from last season's opening roster.

Did we get better?
