They reiterated that number again on 1620 this AM with Schaefer. Probably grow from 22

Up to at least 23 now, with JS leaving. With further attrition, plus early enrollees; my guess is 28-30.

Well 22 plus Finnin and JS we probably are solidly at 24 eh? Schaefer seemed to indicate RB would lose 1-2 (other than JS) so we might even be at 26 even.

I think Finnin is a Senior, so his departure won't free up a scholly for next year.

BIG rules state we can take three over the limit.

I think we end up taking 26-28, with a couple counting back due to enrolling early.

Wasn't Finnin a 4 star with an offer from Florida State and others? Seems like the number of 4 stars that have been total bust's for us has been waaay to high the last few years.

The guy quit on his teammates, many of which he has been with for years, with only three weeks left in his career. Pretty tough to defend.

He was good enough to play against Iowa and usc last year ( 1-1, scored a lot of points against usc), but not good enough to get even a series with what we've seen this year? I have no idea what happened, but something doesn't add up with all the highly recruited guys on the OL who we are told are not any good.

For some guys there will be life outside of football after college football is over. I don't know his reasons, and I think he should have finished out this season. But, he is not playing and is not going to play (barring disaster). I hope the best for him.

Find someone with access to his Twitter, within the last 3 weeks, it'll add up real quick.

Not sure what you're insinuating? I have followed him closely, the kid is a Husker through and through. He is "leave on his own terms." There is no dark "Pelini Cancer" to him. He even took time to thank the fans for being awesome and and making Nebraska a special place to play. He is just moving on.

Insinuating? I told you to read his tweets from a few weeks back, you must not have. I don't give give a rats *** what he said after he quit, he most definitely was a problem around the team.
