By Will Cummings

I’ve been away for awhile due to some commitments, but I will be back in earnest after the July 4th break.
Until then, below is the list of the top dogs in the class of 2011 and the schools that have been hunting them down.
As anticipated the 2011 Gang is shaping up to be a very worthy class indeed.
Nate Skold, a 6-foot-8-inch 280 pound behemoth OT out of Omaha Westside, recently became the seventh Nebraskan in the class of 2011 to pick up a D-1 offer (Tulane). Still plenty of time left in the recruiting calendar to add a few more names to the list.
