RECRUITING: Some notes entering the January cycle....
- Thread starter JStanz51
- Start date
Was told the other day that Frost has not talked to Max since getting hired at Nebraska. From a reliable source
Gotta disagree with that. Thin without much returning experience and just Noland who is just a sophomore. Plenty of opportunity at the QB position for a transfer to compete to start.
@JStanz51 @ChrisMWilliams
Any intel on this? Didn’t really see the staff taking 2 QBs in the 2018 class.
The other thing this tells me is they do not have any leads on a JuCo or grad transfer QB.
total shot in the dark here but maybe the staff always knew Re-Al wasn’t a big 12 qb but is a good enough athlete and they didn’t want to lose his commitment by recruiting another QB until he got on campus.
That's true. I hadn't considered that. Although a grad transfer coming in after spring ball would have considerable ground to make up to be ready to contribute in the fall. That's a lot of missed reps. I'd much prefer the whole thing be settled one way or another by March.
I just looked this up, to get an idea of how long it might take. It took NCAA until April to make final decision on Ott, although I believe there was an appeal of the original decision.
I heard from a coach last summer that he was being recruited to be the next Seneca Wallace. I assumed that meant QB!
This staff would not do that
I wouldn't assume anything about Re-al based on this. They may just like this kids skill set. If we don't end up getting a JuCo or grad transfer QB, Re-al may need to play as a true freshman. That could leave Brock with a chance to redshirt, giving them some class separation.
I'm betting that Re-al will be given a full shot at QB before being reassigned. The kid's got talent.

Yeah he was in the elite 11 quaterback, he could very well have the best arm on the roster
I'm thinking more like they aren't optimistic about Kempt coming back or getting a worthwhile transfer. If they think Re-Al can be utilized in special situations on a limited playbook, they could play him as a true freshman and redshirt Purdy, effectively putting them in different classes.
