I think every one of us alleged "nuthuggers" gave Frost an A+. But that A+ was based on being in a G5 conference, after a 0-12 season. It still wasn't a top 50 class. The class actually being slightly lower than our last 2 (universally so in the case of the 2013-2014 class across all rating sites). But considering all the negatives, Frost did awesome!
I said it before and I'll say it again ... as a defense-oriented, ball-control lover ... if we were going to go offense, Frost was an awesome hire! Even as all the negativity started late in the recruiting season, by many who hated GoL and originally loved Frost, I stuck by Frost and said, "we'll see." He nailed the last half-dozen and utterly brought in a solid, G5 class, even more so all consideration.
But I'm still afraid what will happen when "the honeymoon wears off," and the complaints start about Frost and kids, just like Oregon fans would do when they disagreed with play calling and results. It's still not his team, and I don't expect much out of 2016. If we do 0.500 or better, I'll be surprised. The solid O-line and good D-line pick-ups might help significantly. But I'm ready to give Frost until 2018 to get his system, with his kids, established.
Because us "nuthuggers" are still realists ... and we recognize that we're not going to get a top 10 class until we're P5. Top 25 is probably slim to none as well.
That's what us "nuthuggers" said! Because we didn't hug GoL, we advocated reality. I have a full season of popcorn, and I hope your honeymoon never ends. Because I'll be the first one "hugging" Frost when you guys start lambasting him too.
