Kind of one of those “you may be technically right, but you’re still an a-hole” type comments. 

I'm really hoping that Frost can learn how to play the media game a bit better. The best optics from a coach is to wish the kid the best and hope he finds what he’s looking for.  I think saying he is the victim of bad advice is a bit obvious. 

 
Is there a full transcript that includes why  Frost was talking about the portal? Do you have to subscribe to something to see it in its entirety? 
 

Has there been speculation on why Louisville? Surely he had some family help to get the try there too. 
 

I don’t know much about Rice, except it’s a really nice campus, with a tiny stadium in a s-town. Maybe they don’t throw there.

There’s the full quote for context. He could of been referring to Keyshawn Greene for all we know.

Honestly it's really good advice. Not necessarily that the entire portal is bad. But know your situation before you make such a big move. Like Wandale knew the situation he was leaving, and knew the situation he was getting into. This quote doesn't seem like Frost talking to Wandale. On the other hand LMC left Nebraska and ended up at L'ville for a couple workouts, then transferred again. He obviously went to L'ville with not knowing the situation he was entering. Frost has had a couple guys leave Nebraska and end up at much smaller schools - those kids may have left not knowing what their offer list would look like the minute they entered the portal.

This will blow over but Frost should have just kept his mouth shut SMH.  Not a good look especially in today's transfer portal world we're living in and with he himself having transferred.  Dumbfounding.

Your correlation is off base 

Frost has said repeatedly he was a transfer himself.

Luke is fortunate that Christian could make a phone call to a previous coach who is now a head coach.

At Rice.

Yay Luke......

 
Decided to poke my head into a Rice board. They're pretty much all smiles there, and talking about him a lot more as a runner than a passer.

In football, as in life you have to earn your stripes. 
We are letting these kids down by allowing them to move so fast away. What a gift to give that you can move on as soon as you don’t “like” something? 
 

football is a business, even at the collegiate level. But it was also a sport that gave young men an opportunity to learn to be tough and earn something, like any position on the field after 2-3 yrs of being apart of something greater than your own damn self. The best players, generally, are Jrs and Sr, because it takes time. 
 

Seeing the whole Frost quote, he absolutely nailed it.

People don't learn lessons by being forced into things without a choice. You learn lessons by making choices, and figuring out if and why they were the right or wrong ones. 

College football players have already had at least 4 years of 'being apart of something greater than your own damn self' in high school, and if it is a business, they should seek out the best company that offers them the best job at the best rate and not get manipulated by the executives and bosses into denying opportunity for themselves for the sake of the people getting rich off of them, imo. 

Now with that being said, lots of kids will still make bad choices. But those choices are their choices to make.

 
Uhhh, yeah. They’re 18 when they get to school. Idiots, most of them, just like was when I was 18. 
Apart from their fam, and friends for the first time. They were the  best athletes in their school/town, showered w attention and making a dumbass video of committing after a full recruiting process. Then humble pie when they get there and realize there’s already 6 dudes just like them at their position. 
 

btw, they made a CHOICE to go to their college.  Not forced. Now we letting kids 19ish just walk away from a 2-3 process of that recruitment. You think Frost or Harbaugh likes calling kids 2 time zones away at 9pm for 2 yrs only to have them walk after 6 months or 1.5 yrs of the coaches full commitment to them? Then see them go to a school for 4 days then transfer again? If a coach leaves for a better opportunity after 3-6 yrs at that school, he’s EARNED that right cuz he’s 40, and he’s a man. Giving kids the right to move on whenever they see fit is stupid and not helping them to grow and learn and earn life’s stripes. 
 

forced?? Lol. These kids have had plenty of options. And they execute that option on signing day. But yeah, go about that “business” and see 1,100 kids in a “portal” per year and maybe you’ll end up at 3 schools in 4 yrs with no degree, all the while b!^@hing they were forced or it was the coaches fault. 
 

making kids stick to something isn’t a real bad thing, if they made that CHOICE in the first place to sign. Go to JUCO if you think you can do better in 1-2 yrs.
