Sign Up Now!August 1 is a good approximation. You can't have more than 85 counters for the season. This is how the season's start is defined:I think it's by August the scholarships need to be at 85 total.
Timmy Bleekrode was/is the starting kicker.
So we have to cut down 18 players at the end of Spring? This is going to be interesting
Pretty fair list. At WR, I would think Brown could be on the chopping block. They top-filled the distribution chart with transfers, so I don't see him getting many reps, and they'll want to give some reps to the kids. They might keep a guy like Victor Jones instead simply because he's fast (about a 10.75 100M) and was only 17 when he got here last spring. He has more upside. I have a hard time seeing Brown showing any more than he has so far.Here's what I'd say.
QB - Heinrich Haarberg and/or Chubba Purdy and/or Logan Smothers
RB - Emmett Johnson
WR - Janiran Bonner and/or Victor Jones Jr. and/or Shawn Hardy II and/or Tommi Hill
TE - James Carnie and/or Chris Hickman
OL - TBD
LB - Seth Malcom and/or Randolph Kpai and/or Mikai Gbayor and/or Garrett Snodgrass
Edge - NA
Nick - NA
CB - Tyreke Johnson and/or Omar Brown and/or Braxton Clark
S - Koby Bretz and/or Noa Pola-Gates and/or Jalil Martin
Also, I’m not getting rid of Emmit Johnson yet.Pretty fair list. At WR, I would think Brown could be on the chopping block.

Some facebook guy - calls himself Q-hskr - posted this. Any truth to this? View attachment 19963
Wouldn't it just be before the first day of practice?August 1 is a good approximation. You can't have more than 85 counters for the season. This is how the season's start is defined:
17.11.2 Length of Playing Season. [FBS/FCS] The length of an institution's playing season in football shall be limited to the period of time between the start of preseason practice (see Bylaw 17.11.3) and the end of the regular playing season (see Bylaw 17.11.5), except as provided in Bylaw 17.11.7 (see Bylaw 17.11.4 for restrictions on first contest dates).
17.11.3 Practice. [FBS/FCS] 17.11.3.1 First Practice Date. An institution shall not commence official preseason football practice sessions, for the varsity, junior varsity or freshman team, before 31 days before its first scheduled intercollegiate game.
So I think you have to be at 85 no later than 31 days before the first scheduled day - i.e., the first day of practice.
Would be a shame if Bonner didn't pan out.Here's what I'd say.
QB - Heinrich Haarberg and/or Chubba Purdy and/or Logan Smothers
RB - Emmett Johnson
WR - Janiran Bonner and/or Victor Jones Jr. and/or Shawn Hardy II and/or Tommi Hill
TE - James Carnie and/or Chris Hickman
OL - TBD
LB - Seth Malcom and/or Randolph Kpai and/or Mikai Gbayor and/or Garrett Snodgrass
Edge - NA
Nick - NA
CB - Tyreke Johnson and/or Omar Brown and/or Braxton Clark
S - Koby Bretz and/or Noa Pola-Gates and/or Jalil Martin
If there is one thing we can rely on, it’s Husker Media getting the juicy deets..With how much the scholarship chart has filled up, this should be one of the most fun spring camps in a long while. I'm hoping there's a good amount of media access to get the juicy details. There'll be a ton of competition.

J/k, I agree that it should be pretty fun this spring. Glad @HuskerGarrett is resigning his current post to begin full-time coverage. Thanks buddy!
But you were our only chance to hold Husker coaches accountable by asking the tough questions..I wish
Oh I’m still going to get that press pass.But you were our only chance to hold Husker coaches accountable by asking the tough questions..
He meant to say "re-signing"I wish

A few of those were freshman last year without much time to prove themselves. Were these assessments directly from what you saw in practice last year?Here's what I'd say.
