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.
