Bonsu's not quite 100% on that knee and the emergence of Obi and Goree (plus Kasa showing he can play inside) has made a redshirt possible.
Richter didn't crack the 2-deep and there was quite a bit of talk that he needs to work on technique and flexibility in the offseason.
Simmons didn't dress Saturday but it looks like he's going to play this season.
Here's what this does to the 2011 roster at WR, DT and OL (scholarship players):
Wide Receiver
Seniors: Kyle Cefalo (assuming he's put on scholly), Kendrick Celestine, and Toney Clemons
Juniors: Will Jefferson
Sophomores: Jarrod Darden and Paul Richardson
RS-Freshmen: Keenan Canty
Freshmen: Donnie Duncan + New Recruits
Defensive Tackle
Seniors: Curtis Cunningham, Eugene Goree, and Conrad Obi
Juniors: Will Pericak
Sophomores: Nate Bonsu
RS-Freshmen: Dakota Poole and Kirk Poston
Freshmen: New Recruits
Offensive Line
Seniors: Ethan Adkins, Matt Bahr, Blake Behrens, Shawn Daniels, Mike Iltis, Ryan Miller, and Sione Tau
Juniors: Ryan Dannewitz, Bryce Givens, Eric Richter, and Max Tuioti-Mariner
Sophomores: David Bakhtiari, Gus Handler, Jack Harris, and Shaun Simon (if he signs)
RS-Freshmen: Kaiwi Crabb and Daniel Munyer
Freshmen: Alex Lewis + New Recruits
I've got to say that I love what this does for our class balance. I'd like to see 1 freshman and 1 juco WR (junior) to fill that out. We only need 1 DT this class. And OL could use 2 more freshmen, although 1 could work if we don't get blue chip guys (I'm still hoping we flip Austin off of Stanford).
