River-runner Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Best of Luck to Tuioti! I do find it strange that Frost bring in a stranger, up to now pretty much everyone were folks Scott knows personally. Does that mean Frost is feeling more comfortable? Quote Link to comment

I don't think Frost knew Beckton when he started at UCF, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment
OTHusker Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 The poly connection is huge ive worked with poly kids they are extremely family and poly community oriented- very tight group the families would go to church together ,then have weekly communal meals . The older kids watched over the younger ones , parents didn’t even have to shush or keep an eye on their younger kids unique culture kids respect authority, work really hard and respect their parents a real step back in time doubtful we get many poly kids without an anchor here viola a native Samoan here from California with 7 children and he can lights out coach great get by coach frost there is a reason harbaugh did a camp in Samoa highest density d1 demographic out there a samoan is 56 times more likely to play in the nfl than a non Samoan and for some reason many of them are pretty big dudes https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/leighsteinberg/2015/05/21/how-can-tiny-samoa-dominate-the-nfl/amp/ Quote Link to comment
NoLongerN Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 ^^^ The question I would still have is a poly kid gonna choose in the next two years (length of time this guy seems to stay) when his degree takes 4-5 years to complete. On top of that, it takes him two years just to get physically ready to play. So, I like the hire ... but I don't see major inroads or building blocks in the next two years. Je has to be here for 4-5 years to be impactful in recruiting poly kids, at least I understand it. Quote Link to comment
OTHusker Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 You have to start somewhere frost has created a very family friendly environment nu upped his salary by what half or third? he won’t have to leave due to money like he has done in previous moves nu will over pay him if need be thank you big i knew these people really well- our family friendly culture might be the glue that keeps him here for awhile the weather not so much however there are significant pods of polys in colder places like Utah and northern Nevada never know its a great start though Other places even high schools targeting these kids https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95295728 Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 OTHusker is kind of the Tuff Tiger of huskerboard. But I agree with the Polynesian connection inroads. And we got Noa signed up too so that’s good. 1 Quote Link to comment

brophog Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Liked his interview yesterday. Talked about getting the guys to use their hands more, already teaching new techniques, doesn’t seem afraid of jumping in and making his presence. Really like how Frost used this as an opportunity to bring in new ideas. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 The fact that he is a highly respected coach (based on whom he's worked for), was a part of a resurgent Cal D, has experience at DL and OLB (areas of improvement for NU as well as Coach Dewitt battling cancer) and wants to stop the run all speak to a huge get IMHO. Throw in recruiting connections, his apparent attention to details etc....I think we see a marked improvement day one. 1 Quote Link to comment
