General Roster Updates
It appears most everyone who was drafted and obviously who graduated won't be back. Out of the rest of the roster, it appears Brett McAfee is the only regular starter who appears to be leaving on his own accord.

I have to say, I like the approach here by Van Horn. "If you're leaving, go ahead and leave." Probably much more effective than having to wait three weeks for the basketball team like we did this spring. Would spring recruiting have gone better if Bobby Portis and Michael Qualls announced after one week instead of waiting three weeks? We'll never know, but maybe.
