Trev Alberts applauds Scott Frost's 'strategic thinking' in rebuilding Nebraska's roster

Nebraska’s football program has changed so much in the previous 350 days that it’s easy to forget Scott Frost’s strong, clear thoughts on the transfer portal last summer.

During a public fan event, Frost talked candidly in a Kearney ballroom about the risks of the portal for transferring players and the direction of the sport.

“Every kid thinks they’re going to get the same interest or more than they got coming out of high school,” Frost said in mid-June 2021, “and it just isn’t true.”

Frost was also equally candid about the name, image and likeness revolution that began a few weeks after those comments.
