I think it will be a while before we see a Husker team with NE players in the majority of the key position.
i think those days are gone.
It depends on what you consider key positions. Without an OL, there's little to no running game and there's also little to no passing game. So, would this make the OL a key position? Same can be said on defense. In the glory years, Nebraska was blessed with some awesome athletes coming out of high school. Omaha hasn't produced an Ahman Green lately. We haven't produced a Scott Frost or Eric Crouch lately either. I believe it's very naive to believe Nebraska won't produce that kind of athlete in the future. Every once in a while even the Western part of the state produces one of those athletes. The May kid is what a sophomore? He's from a town of less than 2,000 people, and he's right up there to start on D. We can go back and forth all we want, but the fact remains that the state of Nebraska has and will continue to produce athletes that can compete and thrive at the D1 level.
