Here’s my guess just based on the numbers. QB 4 (-2) RB 5 (-1) WR 12 (-4) TE 6 (-2) OL 12 (-3) DL 10 (-1) Edge 4 (+1) LB 8 (-2) Nickel & DB 20 (-2) K/P/LS 4 (-0) I know this isn't exactly what you're asking about. But, this is interesting too. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

It helps to see the distribution by class. It also sheds a little light on the positions Ruhle felt needed to be addressed. And it may just be off season Kool-Aid but it looks to me like he’s kept a spot clearly open to take a certain QB in the next class. Quote Link to comment
DGNU Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 These are all great- thanks for posting, BigRedBuster- but it is interesting that they're not trying to define defensive positions by the new 3-3-5. Wynn, Hutmacher, Jeudy at NT? Are our Edges DEs? Or OLBs? (Lenhart seems more Edge/OLB than DL, to me, too.) Henrich or Reimer or someone else as MLB? Wish there'd be a little a more breakdown in that way. But I've tried myself and it's hard! Quote Link to comment

This is being done by some random guy on Twitter. The random Twitter guy is still using the old position names. I think that's fine because we haven't seen a go-forward depth chart or an indication of what the coaches are going to do on the defense. 1 Quote Link to comment
DGNU Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Yeah- all just prognostication from outsiders at this point. And you see plainly there's probably more attrition coming on the offensive side, though it sounds like Maciejczak will start out at DL... love it! Gonna spend all off-season trying to figure it out, damn it! (Am seeing some things off though... Castaneda returning as a Jr., right? And the Sr. #s are off... 6 + 14 does not equal 15! Yeah been trying to break this down but... and yeah someone pointed IGC out for 'em there. Borders, Gbayor, Malcolm, Kpai should be Soph.) Quote Link to comment

We will run a lot of 4-3..etc. So, claiming positions based on one set up like 3-3-5 might be somewhat useless. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
gobiggergoredder Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Way too many DBs that’ll never play. It’ll be a challenge to get to 85. I don’t see it being real hard to get to 90ish. 1 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Glancing at that list and not naming names, I could easily see 15 gone. QB 2 RB 1 WR 2 TE 2 OL 1 DL 1 LB 2 DB 4 Quote Link to comment

84HuskerLaw Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Scholarships # @ 85 does not mean player reduction. I’d expect upper class level players to move from scholarship $ to NIL $. Some will quit / move but it won’t be because they’re cut off from financial aid. If they leave NU, it will be from choice of schools, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment

gobiggergoredder Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Also, do we even know if Betts is on scholly? I’d be surprised if he was. Quote Link to comment
