Updated Scholarship Distribution Chart

[vailhusker]

I'm guessing there's more of those than I know about that can be crossed off. I think there will be more than enough room to bring in a bunch of transfers.

The new coaches are going to have their work cut out for them, you look at that distribution chart and pretty much every room is a mess right now.

The new coaches are going to have their work cut out for them, you look at that distribution chart and pretty much every room is a mess right now.

QB - Always a shakeup here with a new coaching staff and I'm unsure if Casey will play another year
RB - Possibly the best position if we can keep Grant and Allen
WR - Room is ok. Needs a transfer to replace Palmer
TE - Fidone's potential is the only thing good here. I like Brewington as a Hybrid player.
OL - Desperately need Offensive Tackles and guards, and a center. New coach has to get this right.
DL - Needs talent. All the recent Frost recruits seem destined to eat themselves out of playing
OLB - Needs talent. Has some bodies
ILB - In an ok spot with Reimer, Henrich, Hausmann. Need to recruit depth
S - It's ok. Farmer has played better under Busch.
CB - Also ok. Might need a transfer if we lose Newsome

So really only RB, ILB, S, and CB are in decent shape. That's a lot of bad position groups.

Brewington is done after this year. (I think)

Thought he was a junior for some reason. That TE room is almost OL bad.

Yep. I seriously doubt that Fidone plays any meaningful football as a Husker. He'll either continue to get hurt or xfer

Went through the roster and it's better than I thought at some places but still a train wreck at others. I'm sure a coaching change will naturally produce attrition, but I don't see a ton of guys I would drop right away.

I could see dropping/losing these guys:
(Jr) Tyreke Johnson
(So) Chris Hickman
(So) Garrett Snodgrass
(So) Noa Pola-Gates
(RS Fr) Jalen Weaver
(RS Fr) Shawn Hardy
(RS Fr) Kamonte Grimes
(RS Fr) Worst of Kpai, Gbayor, Malcolm
1 of the QBs
9 guys done with eligibility
Trey Palmer (NFL)

That gives us 19 spots and we have 15 commits.

From the portal, I think we need:
0-1 QB (Depending on system and who leaves)
0-1 RB (If we lost Grant or Allen)
2 OT
1 G
1 C
1 TE
1 DE
2 DT
1 OLB
1 CB (If Newsome leaves early)

So, we need to find another 5 guys to cut to make that happen plus any more sports for high school recruits.

Next place to thin the herd would be more TEs and starting to thin down CB/S spots. There's probably some dead weight at OL but I hate to lose bodies there because we might need them.

I could also see Prochazka and Fidone at risk of having to take a medical if they keep getting hurt.

It's definitely going to look different next Fall camp.

No reason to not shoot for 10 OL. 5 starters and the next 5 the 2nd string.

Need at least 10 OL between the portal and JUCO

WR - Room is ok. Needs a transfer to replace Palmer

Palmer is a Junior - unless you're assuming he's bouncing for the NFL after one year of showing he can play WR?

He'll definitely go into the draft if we make a tater hire like Doeren or Monken

I feel like the chances of him not going to the NFL are less than1%.
