kramer Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Here's a Q and A from Baseball America regarding the Huskers. Q: Jim Gilmore from Denver asks: How far down the list is Nebraska, weren't they in your preseason top 8 teams to watch? A: Will Kimmey: Nebraska's right there on the cusp of the Top 25. If we ranked 30 teams, you'd see NU in there. But 25 is the number we roll with, so that's where we are. Chamberlain and Dorn returning give you two nice arms around which to build a staff, but the Huskers lost a lot of skill and experience to the draft and graduation, including four important hitters. Now, you've got injuries to Bohanan and Gerch to compound that. None of this means Nebraska isn't a good team. We know it is and picked it third in the Big 12 and to make an NCAA appearance. It is very capable of popping into the t25 at some point during the year. Quote Link to comment

Eric the Red Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I would have started them right around 20. Got some pitching but too many unproven positions Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Who cares where they start? Nebraska has finished very strong in the past 6-7 years or so(not counting 2004 ). Nebraska will be up there again at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Nebraska was 10th in the USA Today Coaches poll which uses 36 members of the American Baseball Coaches Association. They were 4th in Collegiate Baseball which is voted on by coaches, sports writers and sports information directors Quote Link to comment
