The only ones I consider semi-serious candidates to leave early are Russell and Washington. And we have nine other DBs in the sophomore/freshman/recruit classes (not counting Chekwa and Clifford). No way in hell do Amos, Russell, Coleman, Washington, and Chekwa all declare.

Brutus did say after the next TWO seasons, not after this coming season. There's no way all of those guys are gone after this season, barring each one of those guys having award-winning seasons and we win the national championship. We do have 9 guys graduating in the next 2 seasons though.
Seniors
CB Jenkins
CB Lane
S O'Neal
S Patterson
Juniors
CB Washington
CB Amos
S Coleman
S Russell
S Gant
Chekwa is a 3rd year Soph this year, so he COULD leave after this year (like Santonio Holmes pondered but returned for his "money year"). If he leaves after this year or after next year (when he's a 4th year Junior), that would be 10 guys.
IF Clifford transfers, that would be 11. But for sure, we're losing 9 DBs to graduation in the next 2 seasons and whoever leaves early to the NFL, to transfer, or goes on medical hardship would add to that total.
