Plenty of work ahead for Husker baseball as expanded roster means more competition

As the weeks wear on and the unknowns linger, a peek into the future shows the work ahead for Nebraska baseball's coaching staff in the effort to make sense of how to best utilize an expanded roster.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, all spring sports athletes were granted another year of eligibility. For the Huskers, that meant up to six seniors could take advantage of the opportunity.

In the weeks since the NCAA's ruling, that number has been cut in half. First baseman Ty Roseberry, pitcher Gareth Stroh and pitcher Ben Klenke have decided in the last week or so to move on from playing for NU.
