For starters, four of the five top corners on the roster are moving on. Quincy Riley, Corey Thornton and Tahveon Nicholson are all out of eligibility, while Aaron Williams transferred to UCLA.

Just two corners are guaranteed to return, Rae’mon Mosby and Jathan Hatch, but both are heading into their redshirt freshmen seasons. Add in incoming freshman Antonio Harris, there are just three corners on the roster with significant collegiate playing time – and even they have questions to an extent.

As of Jan. 8, the Cardinals are currently at a 78-man scholarship roster – seven below the traditional 85-man limit. Although, as part of the House vs. NCAA settlement, the scholarship limit in football has been lifted to 105.
