Frost & The Florida "Evacuees"

[ATX_Husker]

Nebraska's struggles can be traced to Scott Frost's recruiting strategy

The writer doesn't really factor COVID into the equation. Time will tell if those players really were losses, I don't think any of them went to a "bigger" school than Nebraska it seemed like they all returned to Florida to the likes of schools like FAU & FIU. Not sure how many of the non FL kids that wound up in the portal are losses either. Seems like the only surefire "loss" was Wandale but even then we may see more production out of Samori and Nixon. I guess if LM were willing to play WR then you could count him as a loss as well.

I agree that COVID was a huge factor. Being in a faraway place so culturally different from home, along with the prospect of no football would be unattractive to a lot of players.

I believe that losing had more to do with it than the Covid virus.

For years and years, I heard you couldn't recruit to Lincoln. Dr Tom did it thru the pipeline, not with splash and dash. He put "solid", (not high ranked in stars,) players in skilled positions with a quarterback that had the ability to run the offense. Hate the weather argument, weather's better in osu ? Once Charlie took DB's and safeties, made 'em linebackers, it was on.

For guys like WanDale, I agree. So many of the evacuees left before having a single game under their belts, at a time when the B1G had announced that the season was cancelled.

Toure left for similar reasons, FCS was canceled til spring so he portalled
