Attrition: Looks like an offensive player will transfer, playing time was unforeseable given then new scheme & coaches.

For those asking, the player transferring is not a freshman - this is in addition to the Tony Posada news.

I'm guessing it's probably a slot WR. If it's not Gallon or Dileo - they know they're like 4th, 5th or worse on the depth chart.

guess it's an RB. I can't imagine a lack of PT being an issue for anyone else. The OL if anything needs depth... WRs will see more PT given Stonum's redshirt... and there has been talk of getting the ball to the TEs more.

I couldn't see Gardner transfer as the #2 QB, given the chance of injury & the fact that he's still younger than Denard and will earn PT eventually.

I think it's gotta be an RB, since all the offensive coaches have said they want to go back to having a #1 back get the lion's share of the carries. That means 20/game for one guy, and a half dozen for another. We have like 5 or 6 guys gunning for that?

I assume it won't be a big blow, as you are probably right in that it is depth chart buried player. Plus this would open up another scholarship for 2012 yes?

I wouldn't think it's a RB because while there are a lot of them - there is no sealed up spot and the coaches continue to say that. WR, however, had guys like Rountree, Odoms, Hemmingway, Gallon and Dileo that seem to have already sealed up spots - and Stonum when he returns. My guess it's one of those "midgets" that RR recruited - like a Jerold Robinson - that are just never going to play but were pretty highly recruited out of HS.

Yeah. I was just going to say something about Stonum. IF he can be on the field next year, this makes it great that Hoke and Co decided to redshirt him. How fortuitous...

as for Jeron?

MF HOKE RAN HIM OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!! He did it to make room for his players!!!

Maybe if this was a Dileo type that comment might hold some truth - but given Stokes was a pretty highly recruited WR with decent height and weight I doubt that Hoke wanted to lose a player like that at a thinning position.
