Frost is losing his most prominent players, and he won’t be able to recruit/retain at a high level for the future due the stench of his record.
After his extension I was threatened on here because I mocked it, but what a disaster. When you have players like Robinson and McCaffrey abandoning you and you are 12-20, it’s over.
Frost famously said Bill Callahan destroyed the Taj Mahal of football and put in a 3 bedroom ranch, so where does that put us now?
Slightly less than half a teams recruits will not pan out for some reason or another and many of those players will leave. There will be a couple more guys that leave over offseason and a few may be highly rated and a few vocal posters will freak. QB's will often leave if they are not the starter. Hell there are two McCaffrey QB's in the portal this year. I personally don't think Luke is a D1 QB anywasy, so unless he willingly moved to WR I am glad as this will force recruitment of another Quarterback.
As far as Luke goes, assuming he won't play WR, I could list 30 players that I am more concerned about than him.
Frost has 44 of 62 and now 43 of 62 5.7 start or better players in his classes over last four years and 11 5.9 or better players on the roster. The entire other 6 Schools recruited only 13 5.9 or better players. Even with normal attrition these numbers far exceed other West schools total recruited players. To compare, Iowa has about half the number of recruited 5.7 or better players above assuming no attrition (obviosly they have had players leave too) and none that are 5.9 or better. Even Wisconson is at 75% of the recruited numbers assuming no attrition for both groups.
Talent is not an issue for 2021 or 2022. Frost has more than enough players to field a very competitive team moving forward. If he even does a solid job coaching winning will happen and recruiting will continue to be better than the division. If not, someone else will get a shot to coach. A backup "QB" leaving has no impact on that either.
