There are only 15 teams in the top 15 of the recruiting rankings but 25 in the team rankings therefore there will always be at least 10 teams not ranked in the recruiting list in the top 25 Funny how that works.

r06ue1 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Give Frost a bunch of 3 star players that want to put in the work and believe in the system and the wins will start coming and with those wins, 4 and 5 star players later on. Quote Link to comment
4skers89 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Speaking of top 25, nobody mentioned that Colorado squeaked into the AP. I doubt they stay there but, there it is. 1 Quote Link to comment

Only 1 recruit has been added since the start of the season. But here's the thing though - For the past five seasons we've been somewhere around 22nd - 32nd. But we are definitely not the 22nd - 32nd best team in the country. We're an 0-4 dumpster fire. Part of the lack of correlation there between our recruiting averages and our current team's position in the national conversation may stem from the fact that it seems that Riley's recruiting was offense-heavy. But Bo's last season and Riley's two classes were pretty weak defensively. No offense to our guys but you see that plainly out on the field. Bootle, Barry, and Williams are really the only above average and athletic guys on the starting 11. 2 Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Player development isn’t just a BAM we have new good coaches, we’re going to win all the games now process. I like to think having another 10 months with Frost before next season will help some of these players, including the ones making a lot of mistakes. That being said I also trust him more on evaluating recruits than the previous coaches. 1 Quote Link to comment

What evidence is there of this? Not saying you can't have trust in him. Just wondering what you have seen that leads to this belief right now. Quote Link to comment

The one valid thing it’s based on is all of his recruits here are in their first season of Div. I football so I’m gonna give him more than 10 months worth of coaching his guys before I judge too harshly. Quote Link to comment

Just wondering what you have seen that leads to this belief right now. While I see the point that you're making, the first answer off the top of my head is that he knows the Osborne system of player development. He went through that system himself. He knows that Nebraska will get some high four stars but is also going to get a bunch of three stars and that those three stars need a lot of development. He has stated his comprehensive road map for this and it involves attention to detail in every facet of the athlete's life. Will it actually work and/or get carried out? We're about to find out. But there's strong evidence that he does in fact have a plan in his mind that objectively defines how to develop a player. Quote Link to comment

But this was about him evaluating a recruit better than Riley could. Quote Link to comment
