A short synopsis as to where we are at in recruiting....

When you look at where Nebraska sits in recruiting, you see they've done a lot of the meat and potatoes work. They have 5 linemen committed for 2011 (4 offensive, one defensive). In addition, they've got four defensive backs, two quarterbacks, a placekicker, and a linebacker. So what do they do with the remaining 6-8 scholarships that they'll have to offer? It appears they'll want pass-catchers, ball carriers, and pass-rushers - the fun stuff.
If you follow sites like Rivals.com and Scout.com, it appears the Huskers have offers out to at least seven running backs. Aaron Green (brother of current Huskers defensive back Andrew Green) is the name everyone seems to know, but there are a number of highly touted backs in their sights. Then there are at least a couple dozen wide receivers they've offered. Several of them are hot properties. The Huskers continue to seek offensive line help and still have offers out to a half dozen prospects.
There are as many as 11 linebackers still holding offers. So the recent commitment of David Santos probably doesn't end their hunt for good young linebacking help. Likewise, there still are 13 offers out to defensive backs. Not to mention another seven defensive tackles. There are 11 defensive ends with offers, and presumably the Huskers would seek at least two.
Surprisingly, only three tight ends have offers. Considering two seniors are leaving and Chase Harper's arrival will at a minimum be delayed, you might have expected them being more aggressive at that spot.
Once practices commence, recruiting talk will fade into the background, but don't be surprised to see the Huskers hone in on playmaking positions from this point onwards.
