No, loose.
Maybe he was referring to injuries related to inflexibility. If you don't stretch enough (aka loose) then you get injured and have to leave the team.

Magnus, in your opinion...
Is this unnamed defensive player who is rumored to be leaving a role player or potential starter? In other words, will his departure hurt?
He's a guy whose absence
He's a guy whose absence probably wouldn't be noticed very much.

Let's ask the coaches.

Attrition
You can make room for incoming scholarship players via attrition by changes to your roster in the following ways.
Most of attrition occurs between the time the bowl season ends to the time summer camp starts. Gray shirting players however is the last resort. I'm not familar with the entire roster for Michigan so I'm not sure who goes under which category but apply to the individual as needed. I'm sure the coaches will make room if Larue and Co. were to finish out the class.
Hello Charles Woodson, now give me the ball on offense. - Brent Musburger
Attrition of 2 is probably to
Doubtful the coaches would take any of these routes to purposefully make room in the class. They have always been frank with the number if spots open in the class and that has only ever changed so far AFTER players on the roster changed their plans.
Attrition of 2 is probably to be expected between now and next season from transfers and playing time and dudes giving up football. But the first thing on your list should be medicals--players hurt too badly to ever be able to play football again who can stay on scholarship but not count against the 85. Saban has been known to abuse medical'ing to slice down his roster (kids he medical'd transferred and played elsewhere). Michigan has had a few take advantage of this in recent years--Talbott and Teric Jones were two.

My advice...
don't frickin worry about it. Let the coaches worry about it.

Are you familiar with Plato?
We are the people in the cave staring at the shadow puppets on the wall. The coaches are the ones outside the cave who understand the world as it presently exists. Now, they could try to explain the world to us, but we don't really need that knowledge, and there's a good chance we wouldn't understand it anyway.

Nope
Never took Great Books. I know it was assigned reading for some class, but I don't know which one. Poli Sci 101, maybe? It was with a guy with a huge Greek (?) accent. Hard to remember, because it was a thousand years ago.

As I understand it, because
As I understand it, because we had 6 students early enroll we are now sitting at 19 commits for the Fall. Therefore, we could take as many as we wanted as long as we don't go over the 85 total scholarship limit.

Only 3 of the early enrollees
Only 3 of the early enrollees can be pushed back to last years class
not quite true
We can't go over 25 per class. We had 22 in the 2012 class, so 3 of the early enrollees still will be considered part of the 2013 class.
Eating is murder.
I could be wrong
But because three players from '12 enrolled early, those three were counted against '11. But again, I was told there would be no math.
That's correct.
There were 25 recruits in the 2012 class, leaving 22 to actually count as members of the 2012 class.
Eating is murder.

If we back date 3 of the EEs
If we back date 3 of the EEs (which I believe by B1G rule is the max), then we would have 22 count against 2013 so we could still add 3 before hitting the annual limit. However, the 3 backdated EEs + 22 in 2013 would put us at the 85 total limit. So, as I understand it, it is really the 85 limit that causes us to have to lose some players if we want to add more in 2013 and in any case we can't add more than 3 more.
I've heard that the B1G has a limit of back dating no more than 3 EEs. If that is the case, I'm not sure how a team in the B1G could ever go above 28 in a class.

I haven't sat around doing the math but I find it hard to believe we would even be in a numbers crunch with all the player attrition we've had over a couple previous classes.
I would say don't worry about it, if Texas A&M can have a class in the 30's and Ohio can have a class at 21 ( and counting while under sancations) then I don't think Michigan has anything to worry about.
