This nis odd to say the least.  Why wouldn't these guys want to come play this fall, especially Khoury who was going to start? 

I guess there's always some turnover with a new regime, just don't expect it from your seniors.

I will miss the frustrating potential that was Michael Cox.  For some reason, I loved the way the guy ran and thought he was going to break through.  Guess my misguided hope is officially graduated now.  Best of luck to the dude.

Well he did average about 9 ypc for his career here, granted it was only on 19 carries but whatevs. I remember being pretty intrigued when we signed him, he had the size and seemingly the ability you would look for in a typical Michigan TB but he got stuck in the darkness and horror that was the RR regime. I really thought he could be Brandon Minoresque, not great but effective.

Good luck to all, and thanks for your dedication for the last four years.

This is the best for everyone.  It will give the team a bit of "wiggle room" when it comes to schollies, walk-ons, and the 2013 recruiting class.  Also, if any of them want a fifth year, they are free to take it at another school, preferably a smaller one, and take grad level classes.  

I think it would be cool if they all took grad courses at EMU next year and gave Ron English a little boost.

I'm not going to be surprised if Kyle Kalis ends up at center. He's an excellect prospect for the position he just hasn't worked on the main part...snapping the ball. With that said, if he can pick that up, I can definitely see him playing center and allowing everyone to breathe easier. Not saying he starts, but if he can play there...we're much better off.

Can't wait til the 2013 class gets here and we can breathe a little easier on the line (while still added 4 more OLmen).
