Wish CU would have recruited him harder.
I don't.
MacIntyre has fought for kids and given 2nd and 3rd chances (and beyond) to some of our guys to the point where it was risking the locker room. There were some players who didn't get on the field but were not kicked off for repeated violations because Mac kept giving opportunities for them to earn their way back.
But when he and the staff looked into Starks they stopped recruiting him. I'm not judging Starks except to say that he was obviously not a good fit for the program culture.

Starks is a good kid. Know that from personal experience on multiple occasions but hey whatever
I know a young man who grew up with him. After extended conversations, I can't say I disagree with you.I don't.

Lets not forget that these are kids who are easily convinced to make mistakes when they are 15-18. Part of the coaches job is to is turn kids into men. To change their culture not just the culture of the program. Mothers commit kids to coaches who have a track record of influencing kids. A little bit of what I am getting out of this is that our coach doesn't have the ability to reach for 2 or 3 more challenging players and influence them to make better decisions.
Starks certainly seems to think he's going to UCLANo LOI to UCLA yet. UCLA with the full press on Ballage imo
