Have any of you guys picked up or lost any key players with the grad transfer rule?

We lost last year's SLC offensive player of the year. QB Jared Johnson transferred to UTSA. He wasn't going to be the starter anyway as Jeremiah Briscoe (UAB transfer) took his starting role.

2004 LB Carlton Baker to Memphis(Baker became an All-C-USA player in his 1 year at Memphis)
2006 DT Wesley Vincent transferred back home to Colorado State and was a solid contributor for the Rams.
2007 LB Brandon Byrdsong who was a 2 time All-Cinference player left for Mississippi State and became a starter there. Byrdsong's brothers Marvin and Eric both played at MSU in the late 90s/early 2000s.
2008-due to NCAA Sanctions most of our senior class left but the key losses were
Tyree Babers FS who transferred to La Tech and became a starter there.
Christian Days transferred to East Carolina and was an absolute BEAST there!

VMI's two year starting DT, Joe Nelson (redshirted as freshman), got his degree in 8 semesters, playing this season at Richmond. VMI the only college in the world where they make fifth year students/cadets take 12 hours of classes, even if they only would need 6 or such to graduate. VMI loses about 3 players each Summer due to this stupid rule in place in Lexington.
