It’s interesting that Nebraska has to look to the far reaches of the country to pull in the Class of 2012.

Mohammed Seisayis well-traveled. Originally from West Springfield, VA, he spent a year at Fork Union Football Factory before playing for Memphis in 2010 – garnishing C-USA All-Freshman Team. Next he was off to Eastern Arizona Junior College in lovely Thatcher, Arizona. Now he lands in Lincoln.

Zaire Anderson played juco ball in Riverside, CA. He is originally from Philadelphia, PA.

Two players, Thomas Brown and Corey Whitaker, will have to travel 1500 miles from the Los Angeles area to play for the Huskers. Bo Pellini also got a rare pick out of the deep south snaring Imani Cross from the Atlanta, GA area (about 1000 miles).

Other states represented: Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Ohio, Louisiana, Missouri, Utah and a pair from Texas.

#2    Texas – Mack Brown always gets the best athletes over what he really needs
#3    Florida – impressive
#4    Ohio State – Urban Meyer must have really laid it on thick
#5    Stanford – this is the latest trend school to go to; after a couple or 8-9 win seasons they will settle back in to mediocrity
#6    Michigan – with OSU they dominated Big 10 country
#7    USC – how long until this kingdom crumbles?
#8    Florida State – see Texas above
#9    Miami (FL) – this is baffling since the U is about to get hammered by the NCAA
#10    Oklahoma – meh
#11    Auburn – the south is so strong that even with castoffs you can get a good class
#12    UCLA – Jim Mora and his B.S. Too bad he can’t coach
#13    Clemson – Dabo Swinney saving his job one day at a time
#14    Texas A&M – being in the SEC helps
#15    Oregon
#16    LSU – did Les Miles forget to set his alarm clock?
#17    Tennessee – Dooley doing what he does best
#18    South Carolina – when’s tee time, Spurrier?
#19    Georgia – DREAM TEAM II! …not
#20    Washington – not bad for who they are
#21    Virginia Tech
#22    Notre Dame -  Imagine where they would’ve been ranked had they not gotten overrated Gunner Kiel.
#23    Rutgers – impressive considering Greg Schiano left them high & dry
#24    California
#25    Nebraska – ouch, Pellini
#26    Texas Tech
#27    Virginia – I like their coach
#28    Utah
#29    Vanderbilt – not bad for them
#30    Mississippi State – bad for them; wonder how long this Dan Mullen thing will last
#31    Oklahoma State – big season did not translate to big recruiting
#32    Arkansas – this is pathetic
#33    Missouri – Imagine where they would’ve been ranked had they not gotten Dorial Green-Beckham
#34    Colorado
#35    Purdue
#36    TCU
#37    Arizona State
#38    Oregon State
#39    Louisville
#40    Iowa
#41    Michigan State – they should be better but they all go to Michigan
#42    North Carolina
#43    Baylor – what? No RG3 effect?
#44    Mississippi – barely made the top 50
#45    Arizona
#46    Pittsburgh
#47    West Virginia
#48    South Florida
#49    Cincinnati
#50    Penn State – Hmm? I wonder why they are so low.
