***2018 Recruiting***

At least one former UCF commit was actually excited to see the former Golden Knights staff, led by Scott Frost, move to Nebraska over the weekend.

Avery Thornton has long been interested in the Huskers program for a variety of reasons. The 3-star athlete committed to UCF over the summer, but backed off that pledge Wednesday night. He’s holding out hope that the new Nebraska staff will extend an offer so he can fulfill a lifelong dream of playing for the Huskers.

“It’s just always been a dream of mine to play for [Nebraska],” Thornton told Land of 10.

His uncles fell in love with the Huskers dynasty of the 1990s and passed down that passion to Thornton. Linebackers coach Jovan Dewitt has contacted Thornton since the transition, but the staff has not offered him a Nebraska scholarship yet.

“But I would love to play for Nebraska,” Thornton said.

Thornton played safety and wide receiver for Boyd Anderson High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He’s a solid route runner and can cover a lot of ground on the back end defensively.

Rich Fisher was always one of my favorites on Bo's staff - we've been fortunate to have a lot of great receivers coaches over the years. It's really cool to see so many former coaches from fired staffs still appreciate and support/respect our program - speaks a lot to them as men, and hopefully to Nebraska as well.

 
SIZE & SPEED. Frost and Co. will figure out the rest when you arrive with player development and schemes. 180 concept from the last staff

It is an interesting thing to see.  It's almost as if they knew this secret that the administration was screwing things up so bad time and time again they couldn't hold it against the program or the next coaches.

 
My only complaint about the former staff and recruiting would be this:

We would get some decent prospects to visit, have them on the brink of committing and then it FELT like we told them that we would be waiting on others ahead of them. Then they would get turned off, go somewhere else, we wouldn't land the guys ahead of them and then we would be hosed.

I for one, hope this staff is a little better at managing that aspect of recruiting.
