There’s been a lot of talk about the rebuilding of Nebraska’s roster (more so after getting blanked in the draft). The amount of roster turnover over the past 18 months has been impressive. There are currently 81 scholarship guys on the roster and 33 of them were recruited by Riley and I count at least 20 of those 33 that will be heavy contributors in 2019.
I won’t be one of those persons bashing the current roster. Are there guys that are non-contributors or perhaps lazy or whatever? Sure. Is it feasible or acceptable to just wipe the entire slate clean? No. Is Frost still in his infancy as far as completing his complete make-over of the football program? Hell yes. This is a rebuild of epic proportions and it is an arduous process and I will be patient as it all unfolds.
Now, if you think about all of the dysfunctional crap these 33 guys have gone through with the coaching and administrative changes and some of them with at least 3 different position coaches - IMO whoever graduates or exhausts their eligibility from this group personifies what a Nebraskan is all about. Every morning you wake up, look in the mirror and tell yourself, I don’t care what crap is thrown in my face… I’m going to finish what I started. In this day and age of selfish snowflake transfers, the 33 should be commended. And yes, I’m aware of the likelihood that a few of these guys won’t be on the roster in 2019.
