Ron Chimelis has an article on the five transfers to UMass from Hofstra and Northeastern.

I've blogged on the five before, but this is another way to parse the list:

One year of eligibility

• John Griffin- 1009 yards in 2009, First Team All-CAA, All-New England
• Anthony Nelson- Top-20 all-time receptions for the Pride, Nominated for CAA Scholar Athlete.
• Greg Niland-Starter at LT for the Huskies in 2009

Three years of eligibility

• Chad Hunte LB
  

Four years of eligibility

• Anthony Dima- Red Shirt OL
  

There were 19 seniors in the Media Day seniors photo. Probably not all of them were receiving scholarships. Assuming all five transfers get a ride, there should be 12 or so slots remaining for the rest of 2010 recruits.
