the offensive line will be a complete overhaul b/c it will take years for the new coaching staff to undo the stupid sh*t they've been taught the past 4 years

 
I think Hickman was the backup center this year, but im not sure. You should throw Menelik Holt and Will Henry into the WR mix. I think Lucky will be the feature back, Wilson and Helu will complete the 3 person "RB by commitee" and Castille will be mainly a 3rd, 4th and short guy, but for the most part will be forgotten.

Depending on our offensive scheme, if we run WC or a ball control offense then I'd put Patrick Witt at #2, but if its spread or option or something like that I'd say Lee, most likely.

Why the hell would Castille become forgotten? I want him starting for us someday.

I think Helu will be a better back. Once Castille can figure out how to hang onto the ball, he'll be fine, but after Helu spends a year in the weight room I'd rather have him.

Perfect? You neglect to list Lydon Murtha, Menelik Holt, and then list recruits that haven't even signed on(one of which already decomitted and another that is about to follow right behind him) on the depth chart amongst Chris Brooks ahead of Peterson. Brooks hasn't beat out Peterson in 3 years, why would next year be different? Hard to tell who is going to play where when everything is up in the air. Some of these guys may transfer before playing for another coach.

not really, hopefully new coach lines them up and teaches them smash-mouth football, the Husker way!

No some of us are just being realistic. No way to gauge who will be where UNTIL we have a HC hired.

I think that there is a boatload of talent, no doubt about it. Now we just have to hope that the talent matches the new coach--if it doesn't, there will be more sh!t hitting the fan for three or four years.

The excuse of Players matching the system is just that. It was used to buy time the lest 4 years. A Kid can either play or he can't. A Kid can Run, Block and Tackle or he can't. If he can't than it is the Coaching staffs job to teach him. If Nebraska has the speed to compete and the Coaches can get them to play hard, they will be in a Bowl game next year.
