It's also Whaley's last rodeo, so I could see him have his break-out season. He showed flashes at the end of last season anyway...

Actually I agree with all you have there N2FL. Only thing I might add is Bo has made comment about Pirman showing great promise at linebacker.
Fisher will start. Unless Rose is some sort of a genius. Otherwise looks good.
Fisher isn't very good. Whaley will start until Rose takes over for good.
Agree.
I was glad to see Whaley on the field for the last few games! You actually saw him in on tackles and showed some passion! The ONLY play I remember Fisher "in on" was when tOSU QB tripped over his own feet and injured himself. Fisher was on the ground close to him! He is just too tall and thin to get off blocks and make a tackle. Would like to see Maher not have to punt and kick! Even though he did great, it appeared his leg strength was diminishing by end of the season. With our kickoff coverage, I would rather have a fresh leg there to ensure a touch back.
Rose will be the starter....Fisher has done nothing to make me think any different....

With recruiting likely to be quiet at least until Spring, I thought it would be fun to guess where some of these new additions might fit in. Of course its way too early and all conjecture at this point...but its fun
This will obviously be altered as news of how players performed during spring practices and ultimately summer camp is known. Much like the way too early Top 25 lists coming out, here is my way too early look at how I think the depth chart may play out by September...feel free to add your own.

PR: Ameer Abdullah (So.), Jamal Turner (So.)
KR: Ameer Abdullah (So.), Kenny Bell (So.)
I agree with this list except I would like to see Jamal Turner on KR in place of Kenny Bell. Jamal is much more shifty than Kenny Bell. I think the plan to kick away from Ameer will be just as dangerous on the opposing special teams with Turner back their with him.
If he projects to guard, then Nebraska is thinner at OT than I thought. Are they playing Qvale at OG too or Tackle? I know he is another player who has moved back-and-forth between the two spots.
Saw that too. It was between Thomas Brown and Max Pirman for that 3rd WLB spot...I was going to put Pirman there because I anticipate Pelini wanting to redshirt Brown and Afalava, unless one or both really shows something during the summer. Ideally they should redshirt, but one or both might break the rotation.
Agree that Todd Peat will be the #3 DT and IMHO will be getting close to a pretty even split in reps with Rome by B1G play.
N2FL:840471 said:Fisher will start. Unless Rose is some sort of a genius. Otherwise looks good.
What has Sean Fisher done to show you (or anyone) that he is the kind of player you want starting? I think Whaley basically took over his spot the last few games. IMO if Rose cant learn the "D" fast enough, Alonzo Whaley will go back to starting.
He knows the defense. Plain and simple. Rose may be more athletic but that wont stop him from blowing coverages because he has no idea what hes doing. Orrrrr Rose may be the next David. Just going off of what I know.
