It seemed nobody knew quite what to expect Wednesday, the first day of the three-day early signing period in college football.
Scott Frost, though, seemed comfortable with the major change to the recruiting calendar.
"I think the early signing period overall is good," he said. "The kids out in the country who don't want to be involved with some of the ugly parts of recruiting and want to get it over with are going to sign early -- the kids that really know where they want to be."
Frost said the run-up to the next national signing period -- the traditional one held during the first week of February -- can feel a bit like a circus.
He likes that Nebraska now can assess needs for the 2018 class and focus on taking care of those in January.
However, he did acknowledge the enormous challenge of putting together a signing class in just more than two weeks while also preparing Central Florida for a difficult Peach Bowl matchup against Auburn.

"But I feel good about where we are," he said. "I wouldn't have wanted to sign a whole recruiting class and fill it all up in these first two weeks because I think we're going to have a real opportunity in January to get out and see a lot more kids. We're going to know who's still uncommitted and who we need to target. I think once those kids get a chance to be around us and meet our staff, we're going to have a lot of opportunities to sign some more good kids."
