CIS football running notable roster additions and departures

As we gear up for another CIS football season, I've started to try and nail down roster turnover from one year to the next.

To the league's credit, the CIS has asked sports information departments to put together a "notables" list, with names and explanations of the players that are coming and going. However, the way they have shared that information is a little cumbersome. 

Each team will have their own page, which means you have to go through lots of clicks and loading to just get simple text information. Below, I've compiled all of the information on to one page, broken down by conference. I'm only including "Key Recruits or Transfers" and "Key Losses." If you're interested in seeing the key-returning players, they have write-ups available and I'll hyperlink to each separate preview.

Worth noting that all info is via this CIS page and I will cite the writer(s) of previews when possible. Also, this is the info available at the time. The CIS seems to be doing a slow leak of these. 

** This post was last updated August 20, 2014. There should be more previews available as we edge closer to opening day.
