This is a list of some of the kids who left the team that would be seniors, which includes the top 2 RB's and probably half of the top 10 players.

Derek Woolum - rb, cb
Ben Gosser - rb, lb
Donnie Mills - rb, lb
James Lundy - g, dt
Zach Reedy - g, de
Bryan Abrams - g, dt
Austin Hopkins - g, dt
Tyler Reynolds - te

The first 3 you mentioned were 3 of the best in that class if not the best and Lundy had the potential to be a dominant force. However they all quit after their freshmen year. The bottom 4 on your list probably never would have started, but may have been able to contribute. You did leave out Joey Shelton, Sam Brown, and Chris Middleton, all would have started or contributed. I do believe Middleton is going to play this year, but after taking 3 years off I would assume he would now be behind players younger than him.
