One thing I think you missed was the need for DBs based on how our pass D looked this last season. And we look to have hit that need very well.

Eh, I'd argue that our scheme is really bad but that's a different discussion.

We always need guys at all positions but I don't think DB was as big of a need as other positions. We still have Jones and Kalu for two more years and I think the two Williams will be good Safeties. Plus we had Antonio Reed, Avery Anderson and Eric Lee who haven't seen the field (on defense) yet and have 3-4 years left.

So we had a "need" at DB - which is why I thought we'd take at least 2 Corners and 2 Safeties. But I don't think they were as pressing of a need as QB, OT and DL.

40% of the California kids that came to the Big Ten came to Nebraska.

I'm liking that pipeline for talent.

Noticed that as well. One thing we have over other B1G schools is actually distance here for once. Plus we have a huge alumni and fan base in Cali, and now some coaches who are used to recruiting out there.

That's true but when you start getting into "too far to drive" territory then distance doesn't matter nearly as much as ease of transportation via airports. I wonder how other schools in the country sit with getting their recruits/families/etc. to campus.
