We would need some transfers to fit everyone.

Yep, we will have your typical guys who probably didn't play much if really at all this year looking to head elsewhere. For instance Adams and Ducote going into their senior seasons with really no role this year. Adams will compete for 1B job (if Deichmann leaves) but can he win it? Ducote I really like but there is only 1 outfield spot opening up and we have a handful of guys that could fill it (Breaux, for instance).

You have Strall at pitcher who just basically didn't throw this season, going into his last year.

Then you have the freshman who could head elsewhere (probably JUCO), in that group: Lochridge, Dawson, Wofford, Forshag & Bush. Certainly wont lose near all of them, but I'm sure some will think about it, while others might be asked to look elsewhere. I'll throw McKay in the Godfrey grouping as a high talent who just couldnt put it together as a freshman. I hope he stays, but who knows.

Riley Smith is a bit of an enigma, had that injury plague him most of season but is a draft risk for sure if he wants to keep leverage.
