Yeah, I thought we could have signed another one or two players in the last class. That concern was raised somewhat on the board.

On signing day we were at 85 scholarships, then Calvin signed with Washington State and we were down to 84. Five players have transferred/left since then (Simmons, K. Johnson, Alston, Hannon, and D. Johnson). We could easily lose another one or two before fall camp begins. K. Johnson and Alston are the two biggest loses depth-wise in my opinion.

So where are at regarding what the current class size will be?

At the moment, assuming Keyshawn does not come back in January, we could sign a maximum of 20. 11 graduating seniors plus 6 open scholarships = 17 openings. The BIG +3 allows us to sign up to 20. If Keyshawn does come back in January, then 19. So, the maximum is 19 or 20 depending on Keyshawn's January status.

Works in the SEC........

Not any more!

Removed E. Blades and D. Watts from scholarship numbers. Leaving C. Jones as is, not changing him to redshirt until we hear an official word.

Nebraska is currently sitting at 77 known scholarships.

Currently the magic number stands at 22 for the 2018 recruiting class. 11 graduating seniors + 8 open scholarships + 3 B1G over-signing.

*The number could potentially drop down by 4 if B. Reimers and C. Conrad are placed on scholarship, K. Johnson returns for the spring semester, and C. Jones ends up redshirting.*

Seem that we have multiple players that are making an effort for a three digit jersey. 420

Coach Riley and several players available after practice today

Conrad is the only junior as the others are seniors.

Interesting. I'm a little surprised by it. Thought Reimers would at least get a year one scholarship for the fall. He had 8 free scholarships, but only handed out 6.

Sounds like he might still hand out the other two. It'll be interesting what Coach Riley decides to do.

“There are other guys who at this point are still under consideration,” Riley said. “There’s a big balancing act between earning it, deserving a scholarship, and the number we might have available for next year. There’s a lot of factors that go into this. These guys are guys who have done a great job in the program and have earned a scholarship.”

I agree. It will be interesting to see if the final two go to underclassmen if those will be only for a year.

Made a few updates. Damian Jackson moved from LB to DE. Jeremiah Stovall changed from 35 to 42.

5 senior walk-ons were awarded scholarships: WR Brett Classen, TE Tyler Hoppes, TE Connor Ketter, FB Luke McNitt, and WR Gabe Rahn. Plus 1 junior: OC Cole Conrad. 2 scholarships remain open at the moment.

Conrad's is the only scholarship that impacts the 2018 recruiting numbers. The number currently sits at 21 for 2018. 16 graduating seniors + 2 open scholarships + 3 B1G over-signing = 21.

Made a few updates to the roster. Marked a few freshman as playing (Lindsey, Thomas, Roberts, and Bradley). I don't remember seeing Bradley on the field during the NIU game, but he's listed on the participation list. Coach Riley mentioned that it was a possibility that Jaimes and/or Ward would play against Rutgers, we'll wait until Saturday or an official statement before changing those guys.

Added WR Chad Alioth, DB Bradley Bunner, and WR Johnny Richard to the walk-on list. All three earned a spot through tryouts at the beginning of fall. Moved Ethan Cox from WR to DB.
