I honestly don’t think it was the worst thing, his commitment helped us secure a number of visits and commits that we may not have otherwise had. But yeah, I think he had been second guessing it before summer. Obviously it doesn’t matter as much now, since the season went poorly and we had to fire our coach. But it really helped get rid of some of that “it’s all corn!” perception by getting big name recruits on campus who got to soak in all of the incredible environment. I don’t think our chances with him are over yet though. I always thought that and was surprised he committed. He had a date set and and bumped it up considerably by committing in the spring. 1 Quote Link to comment
BoSolich Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 frost has his work cut out for him, but i don't think he'd take this job unless he believed he could be successful here. it will be very interesting to see how this class ends up. Quote Link to comment

It will likely end up in the 30-40 range in rankings unless the new coach has a few aces he can pull in. Still don't see it as Top 25 this year. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) I wonder if there would be any chance on this kid. UCF offered him, Tennessee sucks, and watching his highlights they run a similar system to what Frost does https://247sports.com/Player/Adrian-Martinez-90829 Edited November 29, 2017 by BIG ERN Quote Link to comment
broganreynik Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Have any media reached out to Terry Wilson to see what his thoughts are on Frost coming to NU? EDIT: and I now see the JUCO thread for him is alive and kicking. Shoulda checked the individual threads first! Edited November 29, 2017 by Edison's Enemy Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 10 Potential New Husker Staff Targets per Rivals We should definitely look (IMO): ATH La'Darius Jefferson - - Former UCF commit and on-time teammate of current Husker Andrew Ward DT Michael Thompson - - If there's any chance..... QB Kaleb Eleby - - Supposedly Frost was looking at him early in this cycle. Current Western Michigan commit RB Johnny Adams - - Not the highest on my list but we don't have a RB in this class CB Devin Haney - - 6-2 CB just down the road? Sign me up. Current Northern Illinois commit. WR Kory Taylor - - 6-5 WR? Worth a shot. Not that interested (IMO): DE Zach Petersen - - Not all that interested but our options may be limited. Long shots (IMO): S Dallas Craddieth - - Would be nice but I think we missed our chance WR Kamryn Babb - - OSU bound (unless they balk because of his injury) DE John Waggoner - - Seemingly Iowa bound Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Ruder should be on that list Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) We are (I'm guessing) 3 days away from following recruiting being fun again. This is going to be really interesting to see the emphasis Frost puts on Recruiting and how big of a part that plays in who he hires as assistants. I expect two weeks to be a frenzy of activity. Like I said about a month ago. The month or two after the season ends is going to be way more interesting than the last month of the season as a Husker fan.

broganreynik Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Something that may factor into the recruiting two QBs thing: any chance Joe Burrows grad transfers? Burrows coming to play for Frost would make things right in the world again. Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Schaeffer said on 1620 this AM he expects 5 early signees. Didn't say who. If I had to guess: 1. Farniok 2. Jurgens 3. Mapieu 4. Pickering 5. Moore 1 Quote Link to comment

Caliborn72 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Major bummer. This class might not end up being very good, but it doesn’t have to be devastating. We need to heavily target some JUCOs these next couple cycles though otherwise we will feel the hit of a bad class. We could use a JUCO OT, OLB, and DB at the very least. Need Avery Roberts and Willie Hampton to be ready to go - I’ll feel much better about ILB if they are. Getting Domann back will also be a difference maker. Still hopeful that Frost can reasonably salvage this though. Quote Link to comment
GBRFAN Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 The good news is that all these kids and a dozen others have seen Lincoln on game day and that won't change - It will come down to SF giving a sales pitch. Quote Link to comment
