I viewed Fisk and DWP akin to some of the grad transfers, in that they had eligibility left and weren’t really draft prospects (Booker is a bit different, because he actually got drafted). Fisk, especially, might have made sense to stick around because he had only played one year on the defensive line in college, and a second year might have given him an opportunity to show that he might be serviceable at the next level.

Your broader point is correct.  Given the size of the incoming freshmen class and the sheer number of players who had an opportunity for an extra year of eligibility, we were going to have to not offer a fifth year to some players who could have helped us.

Agree with your list, but would add Peat, once Jones left.
