Not sure how we should feel with our recruiting class being LAST in the B1G and #57 in the nation.
Can bet some of these guys will be contributors to the team but we are not where we need to be to win the B1G West! Looks like it will be a couple years still.
If 'TheOneders' is correct with what he said: "We are currently sitting at 86* scholarships. Fluid number that will probably change almost daily. We can sign up to 26 initial counters - maybe more after that plus 7 transfer kicks in..
- The 13 commits and 2 incoming scholarship transfers are included in that number."
Then we are way short in our recruiting! If more of these signees where 4 stars I'd feel better about the small class. Still remains to be seen what quality of player we get from the portal and if they will play next season.

"NU’s class is small because its juniors — who should have been seniors this past season — were granted an extra year of eligibility due to the pandemic. Nebraska carried 17 scholarship juniors into this season and will still return roughly half of them, even with departures to the NFL and other attrition. It wasn’t necessary to wait until after the 2021 season to determine which players would stay or go, but NU did and many will stick around."

Nebraska missed out on nearly every blue chip prospect it offered. NU didn’t land any of the three four-star prospects in the Omaha metro area. Among official visitors, it didn’t land four-star running back Justin Williams and defensive back Markeith Williams, and it slow-played defensive back Jaden Mangham.
It didn’t help that Nebraska finished 3-9 either. That’s not likely to attract elite recruits who may see Scott Frost’s fifth season as his last.
Plus, recruiting services haven’t yet caught up to the reality of the transfer portal. They likely will, but they’ve yet to figure out how to account for portal additions in final recruiting class rankings. Nebraska, perhaps more than some teams, seems ready to transition to the transfer portal for its recruiting strategy."
