Texas Football: Should Longhorns Worry About the Recent String of Departures?

And, like that, two more Texas Longhorns are gone. Now the question becomes if the recent trend of player attrition is a bad sign for second-year coach Charlie Strong.

The short answer is yes and no.

On Tuesday, it was reported by various outlets that true freshman linebacker Cecil Cherry and redshirt freshman running back Duke Catalon intended to transfer from the program. For what it's worth, Texas has not confirmed the transfers yet; rather, per Max Olson of ESPN.com, Strong has only said that he has "spoken with" both players.
