Yeah on my sons former team, by and large, most players left of their own accord. A few left for other programs. Only one received the same amount of playing time.
He was a starter as a freshman, but had a couple of off field issues, and he was having a tough time with the academics. He moved to another d3 in town. Started all three years there as well.
Coach only cut one that I was aware of. If you were a recruit, he would give you at least two years.
