This has the look of a mass exodus. Never in the history of college football have so many juniors declared for the draft. I did several searches and can find no school EVER with more.

What was a sour mood after the Chicken Bowl has turned into resignation that we are going to have a tough, tough year next season.

Of players who are ready for the NFL, who will never see the field, or who have shitty attitudes. I don't see any problem.

I agree! This is an awful sign as to the state of our Tigers and is not "normal" for any healthy program. With practically the entire junior and senior classes gone we are so screwed next season.

I think we had 81 guys on scholarship last season and now we have ~25 guys leaving which will put us at 56 or so.

4 early enrollees count back and 25 or so report in the fall.

We could take 29 total, and if everyone qualifies, then we are back to 85.

I think we are still worried on one or two incoming guys not making the grades.

I don't think Les will sign more than that (29) due to the Elliot Porter fiasco a few years ago. He would be screwed again if he had 31 guys and all 31 qualified. At least two would be asked to greyshirt and he doesn't want to surprise kids with this request anymore.

The bandwagon will have plenty of room.
