"out" seems to mean injured
But the last 3 (all rated as 4* in high school BTW):
* Larry Pryor we've already discussed
* Derrick Tucker apparently asked for a redshirt
* Roney Elam is "unavailable," which presumably =/= dismissed or redshirting

So my question is: what is "unavailable" a euphemism for?

If he had to tell us he would. If due to privacy and frankly trust issues with his players he doesn't want to tell us he might do this.

The notion that we need to know is largely false.

Roney Elam is a RS senior. I have no inside information but my guess is that he has a scholarship and is still with the team but if you are starting him in your fantasy league you may want to update your roster.

Jimbo never throws his kids under the bus. The issue with Elam is interesting. Even the players aren't leaking it. That's a coach and team that cares about each other.
