Luke McCaffrey Leaves Louisville
- Thread starter 2010sAreNeverComingBack
- Start date
Lets not forget the "cubes" position coach in all this. Frost took Marios assessment of Luke as a QB. Mario either didnt coach him up properly or his initial assessment was way off, or both. Personally I am not impressed with him.
How was it a recruiting mistake? A dynamic athlete who, if he didn't work out at QB, would have been a multi-year starter at some other position. He transferred for whatever reason (probably because he got benched for Martinez), and judging by what transpired at Louisville, Frost doesn't seem to be the issue. I don't think this "vindicates" Frost because there was nothing for him to be vindicated for.
And you couldn't be more wrong.
Seriously, do you think Scott Frost is sitting at his desk today thinking "what a relief, I've been vindicated." If that's the case, this episode has taught him nothing.

I think bringing him in only as a QB (a guess on my part but it seems likely given LM's two transfers) was a mistake...or at least it was taking a chance on a guy being willing to move to another position or that Mario could take him and mold him into a QB stud.
Mistake might have been a bit harsh of a word but he was a recruiting miss for sure at this point.
Great point.
Luke just thinks more highly of himself that others do, and that's okay. He may never be a QB but if his ego doesn't get in the way, he could be a good player at some other position.
Go back to hot topics pot stirrer!
I guess I didn't read what I thought I'd read.
I suppose we could relitigate the entire Luke McCaffrey saga at NU, but regardless of if SF made any mistakes on how he handled or talked about LM while he was here, he certainly seemed to adjust/correct by reducing Luke's role & allowing him to leave, rather than give him what he wanted to stay.
Quite a few on this board were quick to indict SF for LM's departure, and say that LM leaving was a problem. Now the story for some is shifting to say that the problem was SF promoting the guy too heavily. You're entitled to one of those viewpoints, but not both. If you were criticizing Frost for failure to keep LM around, this certainly vindicates SF from that particular storyline.
Personally, I was excited to get LM as a recruit, knew he had deficiencies, but thought his potential was exciting. Guess it wasn't worth it, but not many around here were criticizing accepting his commitment either. Ideally Frost & Co. would have made that evaluation on the front side, but if LM is what his actions are indicating, glad it was figured out sooner rather than later.

After your garbage post earlier in this thread, the post above vindicates you.
Sure, any guy that transfers out or doesn't pan out is a recruiting miss. In hindsight, I still think it was worth taking a chance on him and giving him the opportunity to play QB. It's on Luke if he doesn't realize he's not good enough to play QB at this level and could be an All-American type player at another position.
Every once in a while I see something that boggles my mind, and things just slip out!Go back to hot topics pot stirrer!
Under promise and over deliver has always been my mantra.
I can see that for sure but LM was a project at QB and we needed more/better QB behind AM and those weren't there. I think that presents an issue with the QB recruiting overall.
Well you’ve got a lot of ground to make up to over deliver! You are vastly underperforming lately! LR probably not happy with you right now.
