I'm not sure, though we have had quite a few thoughts on the subject, but 
here is another quote from the above mentioned article:
http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_pg=528&u_xid=13&u_sid=1326550
 "It's not uncommon to oversign," Callahan said. "In college football, it's 
a very common trend. I understand it's a little unusual here at the 
University of Nebraska. We are overextended, but I want you to feel 
confident that we have an outstanding plan."

Stating the we are "overextended" makes me believe that the JC transfers are 
counted toward the 25 limit.

Also, the above paragraph I quoted in my previous message, has now been 
altered, stating Callahan's contingency plan depends on any possible 
academic casualties and those who will be considered grayshirt recruits.

So who do we think might be the next grayshirts or academic casualties?
