I'm guessing 1 QB, 2 RB, 3-4 WR, 1 TE and 3-4 OL for 10-12 on offense.  3-4 DL, 3-4 LBs and 3-4 DBs for 10-12 total.  Probably 23 or 24 total if we can get guys we want.

I don't think we take that many, also we will probably end up way heavier on D this class. There are 12 scholarship defensive seniors (8 on 2 deep) and only 6 offensive scholarship seniors (just 2 on 2 deep) this year. Also, we loaded up offense on last year. (16 on O to 11 on D last class)

8 of those defensive seniors are in the back 7 so we need extra DB's and lots of LB's to go with 2 if not 3 more DL.

Our luxury pick on offense was either a 4th WR or a 2nd RB and they went RB.

I'm not sure where you're getting all your numbers.  There are 11 scholarship seniors on defense and 4 on offense this year.  We had 14 on offense and 11 on defense in the last class (after moving two defensive linemen to offense).  

There are 6 senior LBs/DBs - which is actually the back 8 in a 3-4.  We took 4 DBs and 5 LBs in the last class so we are loaded up nicely in the younger ranks.  I already said we'd take 3-4 defensive linemen.

247 just updated JUCO rankings.

90 rating 4star. #6 overall JUCO player, #1 WR. They compared him to Braylon Edwards.

So we need rivals and others to pull their head out of their A$$$ and update their ratings on him so he will be a 4 star composite?

I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. It’s understandable that recruiting services don’t focus on Jucos as much as high schoolers. He has already been rated once. 

 

[Head Coach Scott Frost]

It's interesting that first go around all the recruiting services except 247 had him as 4* and now 247 is the only one that has him as a 4*.

JUCO rankings are always a little different and they are generally rated lower on the JUCO side.

The thought of having Manning on the field with JD, Wan 'dale, and Mo Wash at the same time is enthralling.

As long as we can avoid Alabama St.

Well ... that would be a 60% increase from what we had on the field against USA so you could at least expect 22 points out of the offense....

 

[Huskers93-97]

What’s missing for him to get a composite rating? He is 4 star 90 on 247. Rivals just rated him as 5.9 4 star. I think he will be another husker composite 4 star recruit 

 

[BigRedBuster]

FYI...he's now a composite  :FourStar: at .9111.

 

[Huskers93-97]

FYI...he's now a composite  :FourStar: at .9111.

The question now is when does he commit?
