Extremely impressed with the new staff on the recruiting trail

The fans are pissed, but I could see a player decommitting because they wanted to play in Frost's system.

 

One of the commits called Frost a liar. It seems weird for him to coach a team he is in competition with.

I saw Gilyard's comment so yeah he probably hadn't decommited when the offer was made.  I think something happened and UCF will not have Frost back to coach the bowl game so he opened recruiting to include UCF commits.  Just a hunch.

I heard that Keith Williams was let go. If so, we're going to miss out on some great WRs that wanted to play for him. Wouldn't be surprised to see another B1G team pick him up.

Keith Williams was a good coach, but he didn’t invent WR coaching and recruiting for that position. He’s not irreplaceable.

It might also be nice to have a coach on the recruiting trail who can legally drive a car.

Who is the most important recruit we have in the fold right now? Who you got? and why?

 

Joshua Moore. 

 

Committed to the University (Hopefully). 

 

Will be a focal point of the new offense. 

 

Is really good

Not necessary--just fly into major metropolitan areas, and then use Uber/Lyft to get out there and back. 

 

I mean, it's nice, but not necessary. Plus, think of all of the multitasking he could do to/from a recruit's house.

The reality is we need taller receivers like Morgan.  Guys who are 6'2+. Much easier to get those 50-50 balls.  

 

 

We offered a 6’6 WR and a 6’8 TE

Josh Moore.  Dude could play on Sundays on both sides of the ball and return kicks.  New offense needs to be able to threaten the defense with speed.  Josh has speed.  

 

Second I would say Wildeman.  Think that kid is going to be a beast A better version of Stille, and Stille is going to be a good one. 

This. of uncommitted Will Honas is a JUCO ILB that can PLAY

I believe I read that UCF requires the WRs to learn all of the blocking on running plays before they practice any routes.  Frost will probably only hire someone he feels comfortable with teaching both.  I'm not saying KW can't do that but Frost may know someone that definitely can.

Yea looks like they love playing the basketball style of catching. tall OTs, tall Corners, tall TEs.

I'm too lazy to look it up but I didn't think UCF had particularly tall receivers. They appeared to be shorter, faster and quicker.

Frost recruited him and then left for UCF.  Wilson redshirted his first year and then sounds like not the best showing at Spring Ball leading to his transfer to JUCO.  

 

Never played for Frost.  I've also heard the coaching change had something to do with Wilson.  Might not fit the role Taggart wanted at OR.  Wilson is gettng Div 1 offers.   I trust Frost and his QB coach if they do offer him. The QB coach is a Jedi Master with QB's.

Wilson is definitely worth bringing in for a look.  He had a great skill set coming out of high school and he brings a different dynamic than the current QB's on NU's roster.

 

In all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if NU ends up with having 2 or 3 guys starting at QB next year.  It's not ideal, but it's a transition year, so Frost may need some time finding the right QB to lead the team.

I was watching them high point passes in the endzone. Looks like top 4 recievers this year were 6-1, 6, 6-3, 6-3.

UCF had a good mix of receivers.  They would generally use the smaller, quicker receivers in the slot, with the taller receivers on the outside.
