There may be 20 seniors but how many are on scholarship? I think someone said that we are only losing like 12-14 that are on scholarship, so just adding a couple that lose their scholarship/transfer that's where the 15-17 number is coming from. We have 14 scholarship seniors that are graduating and we are currently at 84 scholarships (1 under the limit of 85 total). Thanks for looking at that!

+1 about the LBers! For sure, after Compton and David they don't have much, and with David being a senior, that position group could really be hurting next year. last years class had what, two LB's? David Santos is a talented kid, and they also got Max Pirman. When I was coaching in Ohio the last couple of years I got to see Pirman play in person and wasn't overly impressed, good athlete, and big kid, but he missed a lot of time throughout high school because of injures. He wasn't really physical, but has all the tools athletically...

That would make absolute sense then, I didn't think about that... Thanks.

I understanding red-shirting, but you are aloud 25 scholarships per year, and 85 total... I guess I haven't done the math to realize why they can only bring in 15-17 scholarship players...

Why will this class be so small? I know that this years team only has 20 seniors, but only 15-17 kids coming in, really? I have never heard of a class so small, maybe 20, but not 15. I'm all for the walk-on program, think it is great, and one of the greatest traditions in college football, but if the cause of only having a 15-17 player recruiting class is because of giving walk-on's scholarships, then that is a bit upsetting. It has been painfully obvious this season that Nebraska's depth of talent it mediocre at best... Any who, I will support the players no matter who they happen to be and no matter how many, or few in this case, they are. GBR!

How many players does Nebraska currently have committed for the class of 2012? Rivals shows only 8... If Nebraska wants to be a competitive Big-10 program they need to start recruiting better. If we thought Saturday was bad against Michigan, wait a year or two for Michigan's 2012 class to blossom...
