I also think we can trim up some of our skill positions for more lineman etc. We don't need 6 scholarship QBs next year. I wouldn't sign a RB this year given we have 6 scholarships there and don't graduate anyone. Yea, since we have a QB committed at least one guy will have to move on, if not two. Smothers seems to be the obvious one if he's behind Purdy. RB I don't think they take one this year unless he's an absolute stud that you cannot pass up, but as of now they don't seem to be in on anybody of that caliber. We probably lose 1-2 guys out of this room as well probably depending on which guys are at the top of the depth chart by year end. WR I think Joseph will really put the pressure on some of those young guys that he didn't recruit. 3-4 guys move on there. Competition at all DB spots will be fierce this year, very easily could see at least 3 of those guys transferring. We will see a lot of movement after these new coaches will get a year to evaluate and work with all the guys they didn't recruit. Quote Link to comment

Smothers leaves if no PT this year (surprised he hasn't yet tbh). After CT is done I think the battle will be Purdy vs Haarberg. Quote Link to comment

Not a lot of guys hang around for 6 years and are fine leaving after exhausting their "traditional eligibility". These guys are probable starters that would be seniors under the non-Covid rules (I think the guys I marked with a asterisk can not come back next year, and under normal rules would not be playing this year). Both on offense and defense we could be starting 6-8 "seniors". Thompson 5th year Grant 5th year * Manning 6th year * Martin 6th year Palmer 4th year / no RS Washington 4th year / no RS Garcia-Casteneda 4th year / no RS * Vokelek 6th year * Hixon 6th year * Bando 6th year Feist 5th year * Drew 5th year Nelson 4th year / no RS * Tannor 5th year Mathis 5th year Reimer 4th year / no RS * Kolarvic 6th year Clark 5th year Newsome 4th year / no RS Brown 4th year / no RS 1 Quote Link to comment

This is not a young team at all, but only having 5 listed senior starters sets up for people talking about this still being a young team regardless. Quote Link to comment

Iowa for example is slated to start 8 Seniors on defense alone this year....I agree we aren't inexperienced as it seems. Quote Link to comment
MyBloodIsRed16 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 do the 6th year guys have to take classes? I'm sure they have graduated by now. Do they have to do grad work or can they just take classes like Badminton Quote Link to comment

Iowa for example is slated to start 8 Seniors on defense alone this year. Iowa didn't adjust everyone's eligibility down a year on their official roster like Nebraska did. So you are seeing their "normal seniors" and "super seniors". Take Jack Campbell. Graduated HS in 2019, didn't redshirt, so this is his 4th season. Iowa lists him as a senior. If he was at Nebraska he would be listed as a junior (see Luke Reimer). Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I believe it was McKewon that at some point went on a mini-rant on his podcast how Nebraska's official roster took out the Covid year where the majority of CFB teams kept their official rosters with the traditional eligibility rules and the confusion that it is causing when trying to compare teams. He wasn't knocking Nebraska or saying one way was better, was just saying that all teams should abide by the same guidelines (basically asking the B1G tell all teams to list their rosters the same way).

Needs to be one way or the other imo so all teams on the same page. Quote Link to comment

One of those deal where the best of intentions may have been the wrong thing to do. 3 Quote Link to comment
