On few, but not this many

You can pretty much assume anyone who started their career as a walk-on (even if they were on scholarship at one point) and most of the guys transferring in each year are not technically on scholarship. Also guys coming back for 5th/6th years - my understanding is guys who sign out of high school get that scholarship for 4 years, but after that they could be taken off. Several high school guys are not on scholarship either. There are a lot more than 10 guys in those buckets.

Right, at this point, who's on scholarship and reported as such to the NCAA really doesn't matter. Nebraska will report 85 scholarship players, but may have a roster of 150. 

Nobody knows for sure, but a good number of 'non-scholarship' players are essentially getting NIL payouts that make the distinction between who's on scholarship and who isn't pretty vague. A non scholarship player may have their tuition, housing, extra spending money paid for as part of their deal. It's a strategy that Rhule seems to believe in, and we'll see if using NIL resources to bring in a large quantity of players is the correct approach.

I believe Rhule said in a press conference this week that he doesn't expect any players to enter the portal.

The context that I took from that is that he isn't expecting anyone to enter the portal before spring practice is over, not that he wasn't expecting anyone to enter the portal at all this spring.

It wouldn't surprise me if we lost some OL (21 on scholarship) or DBs (24 on scholarship).

I was surprised at the comment. I agree with you on your last comment.

I'm talking scholarship players!

 
2026 recruit target noting that his cousin - a North Platte graduate with very Rhule-esque testing numbers - is in the portal.
