While I'm not doubting that, it begs the question of who else is gone? I'm sure we'll hear a few more transfers soon, now that semester is over.
But Newell had a good spring from all accounts - why do you think he'd leave?I think there are a few more candidates so it won't be surprising if 2-3 more leave.
I'd put Newell, Decker and Barnett at the top of my possibilities list. Or maybe someone has a medical setback and calls it quits. Or Washington doesn't make it.

Take it for what it’s worth (not much!) but I keep hearing rumors that “a senior RB” will leave, regardless of if we need a scholarship spot or not.
He was getting some work with Stoltenberg out. But I don't think he's really in the rotation as of now. And there were more KState rumblings after the Spring Game.
That wouldn't terribly surprise me when hearing comments about the running back room from Held. He made it no secret that the seniors were more featured in the spring and that the competition would be more open in the fall. Furthermore, he's been very frustrated about the group's lack of finishing and general play once they reach the second/third level. Our senior backs have been lacking in this department in their careers.
The lack of inspiring play at that position since Ameer left has been troubling.
He inserts himself immediately into the conversation of starter given him time in this offense.The more available pieces the better. Probably further down the list of need, but never hurts. A hit or two away from needing a 2nd or 3rd guy to play.
