Count on it: there will be more roster changes

At the moment there are 15 names on the roster. Two of them are walk-ons and reportedly Stetson Billings' scholarship was given to Roger Woods with the promise that he would get one next season. (Whether or not that is true, or whether or not that happens are anybody's guess.) That makes 12 scholarship players. Two of those are seniors - Gus Leeper and Ben Dillard. That means that there will be three spots open, with one of them supposedly going to Billings. One recruit has already committed to us, which means that there ought to be only one more signee this spring.

Now, if you believe there will only be one more recruit, I'll sell you some oceanfront land in Wyoming. If Steve Shields survives this year, he will no doubt be under a dire "or else" mandate, so he will be forced to make some moves. If this roster did not get it done this year, why think they would next year? If he does not survive this year, the incoming coach is going to want to shape the roster to fit his style and philosophy. So either way, more changes are going to be made. Stand by for the action.
