Scott Frost, as proven by asking all his assistants to join him in Lincoln, trusts them greatly.

That trust even extends to how recruits are evaluated, and sometimes even offered. Can an assistant pull the trigger if he really likes a guy? Or is there a certain chain of command that is followed?

"I let those guys be them, and every situation is a little different," the Nebraska head coach told Husker 247 on Thursday. "Ideally we'd want it that we would identify kids, the position coach would watch the tape, then the coordinator, then I'd watch it, and if everybody's on the same page, we'd give them an offer. A little bit this year, since we're playing catch-up on this class, since we just got to Nebraska, we've had to wing it a little bit.

"But we're really on the same page as a coaching staff in what we're looking for at each position and what type of traits we value. I trust our coaches to make good decisions whenever I'm not available to help with it."

Frost likes the connections his staff has to be able to recruit nationally, too. It's a staff that hasn't been shy to dig more into the northeast, like New Jersey, or states in the southeast like Alabama and Georgia that haven't always been recruiting hotbeds for the Huskers.

Frost pointed out that Mike Dawson is very familiar with the Northeast.

Javon Dewitt, Travis Fisher and Sean Beckton have recruited Florida a long time.

Erik Chinander has recruited Virginia Beach, Alabama, and both Chinander and Dewitt have worked Minnesota.

Mario Verduzco knows the Midwest well, and has ties in California. The latter applies to Troy Walters too, who is also connected in Colorado.

Greg Austin is strong in Houston, and Ryan Held has been working the Dallas area and Kansas JUCOs a long time.

"So we've got a good mix of guys that are familiar with a lot of different areas and we're going to try to use those strengths," Frost said.

While the Huskers will have coaches heavily involved in satellite camps across the country in June, Frost knows the biggest thing is getting kids to come to your camps.

"So we're going to continue to run whatever camps we think are best to get potential recruits on our campus," he said. "When kids come to Lincoln and see what it's like, and see what campus is like, and what our facilities are like, we're going to get a good percentage of those kids."

But you must balance that with also understanding you're not in the hottest recruiting area of the country, he noted.

"There's players here, but not as many as some other places. So if we're given the opportunity to go out and see kids practice and perform, we're going to take advantage of that."

With many of the appearances tied to Adidas camps, the Huskers are expected to have coaches at satellite camps in the St. Louis area (specifically St. Charles, Missouri), at Texas A&M, the Houston and Dallas area, a Kansas JUCO camp, in California, at Arizona State, at Florida Atlantic and Florida International, as well as one at South Florida on June 23 to bring camping season to a close.

Frost liked what Mike Riley's staff did with Friday Night Lights.

Nebraska will host the same events on June 15 and June 22, and Frost wouldn't mind trying to duplicate what was done previously, including the participation of fans if possible.

"I really liked what they did. I think that was really smart by the last staff to make those Friday Night Lights camps a big deal. We're going to try to do the same thing."

There is one potential challenge. They are changing the stadium lights out around that time.

"If we have the lights and are able to do it, we're going to keep that alive."

It was a very short stay in Lincoln for Bob Welton.

He was hired as Nebraska's director of recruiting operations, but is moving on to Alabama. Now what for the Huskers?

"Bob was a guy, he wasn't part of the team that helped us accomplish what we accomplished at our last school. We thought he'd be a good addition, and he was while he was here," Frost said. "We're glad we had him. But we're going to try to decide the right way to put the recruiting department together. For a long time with us, the guys that we do have on board did a great job. So we'll make those decisions (on filling that spot) when we need to."

As reported here, Frost is making it so incoming Husker players can participate in the Shrine Bowl.

He said that was important to him because of what the Shrine Bowl stands for.

"With the young kids that it helps, and Shriner's hospitals. Anything that's a good cause like that, I'm not going to tell our kids they can't be a part of. I played in the Shrine Bowl, and it was a great experience. I'm anxious to watch it on TV and hopefully see some of our future players."
