Who's Leaving? 2024/25 version

We all knew he was never going to overtake DR in the first place.  I was more shocked he stayed committed than to him leaving.

I’m assuming he stayed cause of how late raiola decided to switch and commit to us in the recruiting cycle. Wasn’t it just a few days before signing day last year? DK prolly didn’t have solid options at that point.

princewill leaving f#&%ing sucks. He was set to be a key member for the next year or 2 on that line.  
 

perhaps Rhule is wanting to switch to 4 down lineman on the line given it might be easier for us to consistently recruit bigger d lineman as opposed to needing to get many athletic fast guys who can play OLb/rush the qb.  
 

Gotta cut a node check for a DC with the track record and guys he can bring with him, it’s imperative we get this right 

 
Pardon me if this has been answered somewhere.  I briefly looked and didn't find it.

Exactly, how many were on the roster this year?

If we got rid of all walk-ons, how many would that be? This is a tough one because some of the "walk-ons" weren't really because they were on NIL deals.

That then gives us at least an idea of how many scholarship players are going to leave to get to 105 after we add in the recruiting class.

Then, if that number gets below 105, that's how many transfers we can pick up.

I currently am totally lost on the numbers.

I'm pretty sure I saw the number at 130 at one point but not sure how reliable that number was.  I see many numbers and none are ever the same but they are all in that 130 range +/- 5-10 depending on the source.

And, I had seen a number of times that 40-50 players needed to be cut/leave. We are at 22 commitments....hoping to get a couple more.

So, if the number is 130, is that the number after all the seniors are gone?  If so, 130+22=152.  152-105=47 players need to be cut.

So far, we have (I think) 7 that have announced publically.

There will be a huge wave of walk-ons at some point. Coaches gotta decide real quick if they think any of them are likely to turn into good P4 players and move on from everyone else, as much as that sucks.

Quick back of the envelope math...

Right now, Huskers.com shows 150 on the roster (that includes the 7 or so that have entered the portal in the last 48 hours, does not include Coleman)

19 are listed as Seniors, so assume they are out of eligibility.

So that leaves 131.

7 (???) have entered the portal.

Down to 124.

We are signing 19 (?) freshmen tomorrow.

Back up to 143.

So need to lose 38 more to get to 105.  And then for every transfer we bring in we need to lose an additional player.

That is a lot of roster turnover for a team that went 6-6 during the season.

 
People lamenting that these departures are because the program sucks need to chill. All schools need to get down to 105. They all have players entering the portal and a s#!tload of the players are not going to find a comparable landing spot. Sure we may lose a few we don’t want to leave due to White and Knighton and possibly other D coaches leaving but for godsakes we went 6-6, I don’t think anyone is irreplaceable. And simple math tells us we should come out of all this with higher quality players (lower demand, higher supply). For every guy we have leaving there will be 50 more looking for a spot. I don’t see how we can possibly come out of this worse off.
