I'm sure he will. I suspect that for a player like this, the offers start to blend into the background, though. The first few that come in are probably the ones he'll take the closest look at. That is, of course, unless he has his heart set on someplace like USC or Texas and is just holding out for an offer from them. I use USC and UT as an example. For all I know, he can't stand either school.
He has family here, too. Just sayin'.
Yeah but according to Maximus on Rivals he used to live in Michigan.
So he knows how bad winters in Michigan suck.
CU lets him enjoy going to school in Boulder and being an in-state kid at a growing program where he will get a chance to contribute early. Also a lot nicer road trips in the PAC than the Big 10.
I really think the notion that recruits care about road trips are waaay overblown.
Weather? Road trips?
Recruits pick schools for a lot of reasons, if you think that coaches don't mention the weather when it is in their favor then you are missing something. For some kids it doesn't make a difference, for others it does. Look at the top recruiting classes each year over the past few years and weather looks like a factor. For some kids the idea of playing every year in LA is a lot more appealing than playing at Indiana or Illinois. Certainly not the biggest factors but they do matter sometimes.
Where would you rather spend four years, Boulder or Ann Arbor, I know my answer would have some consideration for the weather.
Weather is in consideration but road trips? I highly doubt that.
Doubt whatever you want. As I said kids pick schools for a lot of reasons, for some the road trips do matter.
If you want to kiss Michigans butt do it on a Michigan board.
This has nothing to do with me being a Michigan fan. Football trips for games should be a business trip, not a site seeing trip.
And to answer your question, I will take being in Boulder over almost any place in the winter. Where else can I go boarding with some nice pow and get home and it be 50 degrees out?
And college should be strictly for preparing for your future career academically. What things should be and what they are often are miles apart.
It's pretty much the only advantage we have compared to Michigan. Might as well exploit it if we can. Otherwise, we'll just get depressed.

If only we had more uniform combinations...kids digs uniforms, right?
First, big want.
Second, in the coming years, I can see top local o-line talent begging fir a look from CU. We don't need to worry about not having a lot to offer. We are a great school with tradition, and we provide the chance to play in front of friends & family a half a dozen times a year.
Those are some big time programs that we'll be competing with, but I have no doubt that we're heading in the right direction, and that in the coming years, schools like the ones that have already offered will be worried that it will be near impossible to pry a kid away from beautiful Colorado.
That's my hope, and I really do believe that this can become reality.
The good recruiting news in the last few days must have brought out my super optimistic side. Cool.

We are close to home, we can legitimately sell early playing time, and our OL coach has coached at the NFL level.
Check the thread man, he ain't from Colorado. I'm not sure how long he's lived here though.
I would also argue that there are a lot of relevant places in the B1G that are on my stadium tour.
Having said that, we need to land Chris and Mitch Parsons. Both will be high level prospects and we can afford to miss on the in state prospects again.
I'm not going to list it but there are some great venues in the B1G, same with the PAC 12.
And you need to get over the whole me liking other teams.
I read the thread. Sticking by my guns.
