According to this depth chart (UNM game), we just lost our 2-deep at RG and a backup RT. That's 3 OL. Lark was a backup LB, but with his loss Wacha is the only returning starter with experience. I'm guessing Stover figured he wasn't in the mix to play. Hayes is listed as the backup CB to both corner spots.
Is this just a guess, or do you know something? Not asking you to disclose exactly who, just curious.
It is the nature of the beast for all teams really - nothing new or different. I was looking at the fall 2014 roster the other day - and tried to do some comparisons, and there are 3 players right now I can't find any information on what happened. Maybe I missed them leaving after the fall season...and I looked but couldn't find anything.

True, it happens everywhere. I'm sure there is a player or two who are waiting until school is out before letting the staff know they won't be returning. Hopefully it is nobody important.
I wouldn't say we lost anybody too important. Too bad about Jones and Hardy from a depth standpoint, but Jones regressed and got some dumb penalties, and somebody on here mentioned Hardy had some off the field stuff. Hayes couldn't play, Lark couldn't play, Trap was riding the pine.

Malkamm Muhammad has some decent experience at LB, but is returning from injury. I saw where Eric Nzoecha is moving to LB from TE. He might not be his brother, but is a good athlete and has good size. And Will Tutein is moving to LB from safety. We have some players, but it will definitely be a thin position this year.
As far as the other guys....I wasn't a fan of Lark. He tweeted some crap about Wyoming last year and that was it for me. So don't care that he is gone. Hayes played a lot more as a true freshman under DC than he did last year. So, he like Stover just weren't in the mix as you mention above.
Losing depth hurts, but the guys that are still with the program will do just fine IMO.
I thought that was only news. He was blocked because they are on our schedule this season. He would have been fine transferring to any other school we didn't play.
Who cares if we play them this year? Wouldn't he have to sit out this year anyways? FCS is still division 1, I thought the only way to play immediately was to go the D2 or lower level or JUCO route...
Yes, you are correct in that he would have to sit out a year. However, that wouldn't stop him from filling in the UND coaching staff on our plays, schemes, tendencies, play calls, signals, etc. thus giving them a treasure trove of information for our game against them. It might look small time on paper, but it's a move that has to be done.

Actually, if you drop down, there is no sit out a year rule. You can play immediately.

I guess you are right if you are threatened by the 8th place fcs big sky team. Of course, being threatened by the 8th place big sky team is pretty much the definition of small time so maybe we are both right.

Insults are the last resort of fools with a crumbling position.
That's the thing though. It's a policy you follow, no matter if it's Alabama, Notre Dame, Fort Fart State, or Laramie High School. You never let an athlete transfer from your team to a team that is on your schedule the next season. You never give ANYONE any tactical advantage over your team.
Nevermind may not have played much and may not be a huge player, but he knows play calls and formations. That's a tactical advantage we would never want to give anyone, no matter what.

Follow the policy regardless of where they want to transfer. Making exceptions or not being consistent is not fair to the athletes and sends the wrong message
