After having only one fifth-year senior who signed with Tulane out of high school this year, the Wave is down to four for next year with Sean Harper's decision to transfer. He has graduated, so will count as a positive in the APR, and he was a non-factor on the field who would have been buried on the depth chart next season.
The only guys left from Fritz's initial recruiting class are Coby Neenan, the backup field goal kicker who probably will not be back, De'Andre Williams, who definitely will be back and should have a great final season, Jacob Robertson, whose touchdown grab against USM was a positive step forward, and Larry Bryant, a classic 'tweener who was in the rotation of three nickelbacks this year but probably does not have the cover skills to be a starter after playing defensive end as a pass-rushing specialist earlier in his career.
Darnell Mooney, Lawrence Graham, Darius Bradwell, P.J. Hall, Thakarius Keyes and Will Harper were success stories from Fritz's thrown-together 23-player first signing class.
Tyler Johnson had his moments before the coaches soured on him this year, likely more for off-the-field stuff than on-field performance.
Johnathan Brantley could not throw, so he had to go when the offense changed.
Tre Jackson (disappointedly), Chase Napoleon, Phabion Woodard, the always-injured Miles Strickland, D.J. Owens, Chris Johnson, Deion Rainey and Eric Lewis were washouts.
Jonathan Wilson and A.J. Walker did not qualify academically.
