You are either a pwr five athlete that wants to compete at that level or you aren’t. I see no way this has any legs at all. Did I succeed in getting them to bring rumorville back?????

If his dad took over North Dakota State or a team that actually competed in FCS maybe I could see it. This is a team that hasn't been good and it's gonna take Ed sometime to turn it around. I don't see this making any sense unless he just really wanted to play for his dad. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Furthermore, if this has any truth, he should probably leave now. I am as excited about Luke as as anyone, but this whole scenario stinks to high Heaven. Frost will no6 be held hostage by the notion he may lose him if he does not start. Game over. I just had a hs kid transfer bc he may not be starting qb. The kid would have also been our starting lb on defense. As a coach, I didnt lose any sleep. Quote Link to comment

I don't see this making any sense unless he just really wanted to play for his dad. Unless he finds out he is never gonna start ahead of Martinez or Smothers. If he wants to be a QB, he probably doesn't want to be a career backup. But not only would Martinez have to beat him out, but also Smothers. So if Luke leaves, i would take it that Smothers is the real deal Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Luke comes from a family of winners. The "quitting is easy" mantra doesn't seem like it'd be in his DNA. I can't imagine him shrinking from the challenge. Kid appears to a be a gamer. I also don't think that Frost will ride or die with an injured AM or the 2.0 version we saw last year. Frost, as calm and steady as he appears, has gotta be feeling this season needs to be, has to be better than the previous 2. And it is shaping up to be a tough one with the schedule.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment

He works in the UNC AD, where Ed McCaffrey was just named HC. He said there is talk internally of Luke transfering to play for his dad if he doesn't win the job this fall at Nebraska. It would be way more surprising if the transferred *to* UNC than if he transferred *from* NU. 1 Quote Link to comment

I realize it’s the off-season but Jesus. The idea he’s transfers came from where? That his daddy now coaches at a college, any college. What about Dylan, maybe they can both go back? Does Christian have any eligibility left? Is there a baby of the family? I heard, from a guy, that knows a girl, that saw her ex-husbands babysitters, boyfriend at 31 flavors last night that all our coaches are going to start recruiting on Mars for the next 7 star player. I know how cool. That rumor has as much truth to it as this one about mccaffrey. Quote Link to comment
N is for nowledge Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Also, interesting, is a good amount of this board wants to crown mccaffrey as the hiesman winner 2020 but also thinks he’s not good enough or won’t beat AM or Smothers. Quote Link to comment

I am a lil worried of just that. I think McCaffrey could be better than Martinez, and Frost still goes with Martinez. Not saying Frost will do that, but it is a worry of mine. Luke could be the next Eric Crouch or Tommie Frazier. In fact I'd crown him with the Hesiman right now if i could. Quote Link to comment

Crowning a kid that has yet to attempt 20 passes is the reasons we have washouts and busts. Let the kids develop, they all have work to do and let the winner come out on top. The way that whole freshman class was talking last yr I have a hard time thinking their not here for the long haul and to win some games... I’m talking luke,wandale, and Nelson for sure.

My reason for that concern is just the way last year played out. Just felt Luke was a better QB and Frost has a bias toward AM. I could be wrong, but thats how I feel. 1 Quote Link to comment

Now that you mention it, I think last year's starting QB (who played ahead of Luke in High school) is recently in the transfer portal. Quote Link to comment
