Unofficial depth chart by Ourlads reflects 16 transfers on the two deep.

Heard something today that worried me
07/02/2015
I know we all love sources or people close to the program, but I had the opportunity to talk with a person close to Idaho football.

He said, according to some of the assistants, Idaho's starting 22 are as good as any in the Sun Belt and compares well with bottom to middle half of the MWC. But, after that there is a huge drop off in talent, and this worries me. We have spent the last two years bringing in JC kids to build depth, and according to this guy we still don't have it. Crossing my fingers to an injury free season!

Interesting that their roster does not list last school attended as is common, but rather hometown and High School only. Which suggest they have a whole bunch of non 4-year players

The headline of a story in their local paper says they might win as many as four games this year. Wofford and Troy were hinted as two in a slug line but I need a subscription to the paper to see the rest of the story.

They have a three game stretch where they play ULM, New Mexico State and South Alabama. While those programs aren't pushovers, those are probably their best chances to win.

I took a look at this awhile back, and discussed it in this other thread:
http://tinyurl.com/pn9kv4h

They do take a lot of JUCOs, but not all of them work out very well.
2013 Freshmen - 17 of them, include 5 starters and 7 second team
2013 JUCOs - 5 of them, include 3 starters, 1 backup
2014 JUCOs - 17 of them, include 3 starters, 3 backups, 3 others on roster
2015 JUCOS - 14 of them, include 3 starters, 3 backups

Looking at these numbers, one has to question how much all those JUCOs are helping them. From 17 Freshmen they got 5 starters and 7 backups. From the last 31 JUCOs they got 6 starters and 6 backups, so about the same numbers of good players from twice the number of scholarships.
