It's a bye week folks so sue me

Sorry if this was posted elsewhere. But this is 1000% believable. Only Frost would talk shit about an incoming 4* recruit WHILE the recruit was on his visit to your school.

**BTW, yes I know that all CFB coaches lie to HS recruits to get them to commit. But 99% can hold off on verbalizing the lie until at least the fuckin official visit is over. Hell, the visits are only 24 hrs, you should be able to make it that long & keep your mouth shut. But not Frost.

 
Super believable that his little brother would go to Frost's school after that
Devil's advocate though....I'd be more pissed off at Oregon than I would be at Frost specifically if I was the recruit. Frost was just the idiot that ran his mouth about it
 
If it involves Frost having zero EQ and his arrogance biting him in the ass, I have no doubt it's true.

It's who he is.
Well said! LOL That's where I'm at.

Frost gets no benefit of the doubt for me. If it's an accusation of arrogance, no emotional intelligence and no scruples, I'm like "yeah that's definitely true."
 
Wasn't he the WR corch? Could just be advocating to get a dude in the room
Any normal coach would wait the 24 hrs for the official visit to be over before spouting off about it though...just in case the recruit, you know, walks by and overhears you.

As far as dumb rumors about Frost go, this is one of the easiest to believe, ever.
 
Even less believable to me that you'd move Christian to WR. He was 6' 200 lb coming out of HS.
Oh believe it my friend! 2014 class he was listed as an ATH. Several schools including Michigan had offered Christian McCaffrey as a WR.

The older McCaffrey brother was a WR.

You're taking what you know of him now (10 yrs later). At the time he was listed as an ATH almost everywhere. And I could see some schools not thinking he could take the beating of being an every down RB. Michigan didn't, for one.
 
Why would Luke play for him? Doesn’t smell right.
Wasn't Nebraska the only school that was willing to play Luke as a QB?

IIRC even local Colorado HS folks thought Luke was a bad QB. He may not have had any real options in major CFB at QB. Nebraska was probably his best QB offer.

If true it encapsulates what a mind fuck Frost was in when he was here. He was prepared to move the best running back of the NFL in the last decade or so to WR. Later down the road a kid from the same family that wants to play qb but has no business playing it, a wr, is the hand picked qb of the future for Nebraska under him.

Goodness.
 
247 says APB.
Rivals also APB
There were a number of schools recruiting Christian McCaffrey as a slot receiver.

I'm not gonna go microfiche them all, sorry.

Even now I think what makes him great is being a really good receiver. Oregon was making a killing with the hybrid RB/WR at the time. So Oregon is going to take maybe the best Duck R candidate in history and move him to full time WR?

Luke coming to Nebraska because we were the only ones letting him play QB at the time. If Christian had this exchange with Frost why would they trust that they were going to leave Luke at QB?

Just sounds like a bullshit story to me.

You're ruining my enjoyment of this, Jim. You sound like Scott's AA sponsor. Now is the time we laugh at Scott. You're approaching this like the Zapruder film. Just let us enjoy it.


Again, if the story was true, I don't think CMC's beef would be with Frost, it would be with the entire Oregon staff (Frost just got caught talking about it). If you're Luke and you have zero QB offers outside of Nebraska's, you'd probably take the QB offer. The guy was maniacal about wanting to play QB. He had no other options to go to. Verduzco IIRC was unflinching in his belief that Luke could be a good college QB, so Luke probably felt he had an advocate at QB coach at the very least.
