What players leave after the season? 2022/23 version

I think at least two QBs and two RBs are basically a given.  Thompson is a question mark at best.  I'd be surprised if Smothers, Purdy and Haarberg all stay.  And Watson might decommit.  But we'll probably add a transfer, especially if Thompson leaves.  

Yant sounds like he's basically gone.  Which doesn't hurt my feelings.  Grant could very well leave.  

Probably 2-3 of WRs as well.  Palmer is one.  I guess IGC is already gone but I wasn't counting him.  Hardy and Grimes seem unlikely to see the field here.  Tommi Hill might look to start over (again).

I don't see a bunch of OL defections though I continue to be surprised Lynn adn Conn are still here.  Likely getting at least a couple of transfers so that might push a couple to look elsewhere.

The to-be-sophomores on the DL - Weaver (now OL?), Black and Buckley - seem questionable at best.

We should return a solid group of LBs but Snodgrass seems to have been passed by and not much has been heard from Kpai, Malcom or Gbayor.  Likely 1-2 out of that group.

Nelson and Mathis might have put in their time in college.

Tyreke Johnson seems to be a non-factor.  Omar Brown made some noise but barely saw the field.  NPG doesn't seem to be figuring it out.  Probably a couple other defections if Fisher doesn't come back.

That's 22 or so without any real big surprises, of which there are always a couple.


Really the only surprise is that we haven't lost any out of that group of LBs.  And maybe another RB.

 
90/85 but I assume the staff wants 3 more portal players. If 8/10 of these leave I wouldn't be surprised to get to that number. 

Javier Morton

Seth Malcom

Kaine Williams 

Tommi Hill

Emmett Johnson

Tamon Lynum

Jalil Martin

Chase Androff

Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda  

Ajay Allen

RB - 1 of Grant, Johnson^2, Allen

LB -  2 of Snodgrass, Malcom, Kpai, Gbayor 

DBs - 2 of Lymon, Morton, Singleton, Wright

And I know nothing, but have seen rumors around TyRob

Its about the 8 players suing the B1G to play

Garrett Snodgrass, Garrett Nelson, Ethan Piper, Noa Pola-Gates, Alante Brown, Jackson Hannah and Brant and Brig Banks filed the lawsuit, which does not seek damages greater than $75,000 but states that the Big Ten's postponement hurts the players' future football prospects and their ability to market and brand themselves.
