They're so cute.
My retort would be that even if that were true, wouldn't they be pissed about it since Umu is a cut above anyone they have committed?

Yeah, that tweet definitely had the timing off... I might have missed it, but was there an official #CUin15 tweet for this one?
Even with McElwain there how many kids went to CSU that CU really wanted. I've been around a lot longer than I want to admit and the list over that time is a very, very short one.
There have been a few kids that CU wanted that went to CSU because they were legacy kids, also a few who CU offered late in the process as plan B kids who stuck with CSU commitments.
Overall though I can't remember many who ended up at CSU when given a choice beforehand to go to Boulder.
Guys, I highly recommend watching Umu's senior highlights: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1564130/highlights/164733376
When I watched his junior film, I thought he was a space eater who didn't impress me all that much. Just seemed like a big, strong kid who was naturally a bit too much for most Colorado prep o-linemen at his level.
But the senior film?
Low pad level. Multiple moves. High motor pursuing sideline to sideline while not giving up on plays. Explodes into hits. Highly disruptive to everything the offense is trying to do.
It's seriously like watching a different guy. I'm totally sold now. Major props to him for the work he put in and kudos to Matt McChesney for giving this talented kid what he needed through Six-Zero.

Can you put him back on the DL then?

Can't imagine Matt wasn't in his ear about CU.
Great film, really encouraging. Love that play at 3:35, relentless effort.

On that point. Wouldn't that, technically, be a violation unless the kid sought advice on his own. I would think Matt is very careful not to be a shill for CU.

Yep. His first priority are the kids. If I were Mac, I'd encourage my recruits to hook up with a program like Six Zero though, within the legal limitations of the NCAA.

Yeah, he has to run a business, first and foremost. If parents thought he was taking their money just to get their kid going to his alma mater, I don't think he'd be nearly as successful. If we build a program worth coming to, we don't need that kind of help from him.
Although, if he had a little Buff memorabilia, I'd be good with that. :thumbsup:
We hear about the kids who go or are of interest to CU because CU is the flagship in state and it is our focus personally.
Matt doesn't just have the kids we worry about for CU. He has a number of kids of all levels. He has kids like our two in state OL commits who were going to be top level but wanted to get better, he has kids like Emu who came in as a low D1 and with the right training is now at CU.
He also has kids who will never get a sniff from CU or CSU but are doing the work to get school paid for at UNC or CSU Pueblo or Adams State.
I love the idea that all of these kids can get a taste of the kind of work and dedication it takes to be successful at higher levels.
My impression is that he gives every one of these kids his full effort. He is also the kind of guy who can be brutally honest with a kid and his dad and tell them that the kid isn't going to play in the PAC12. He can tell them that their best bet is D2 or FCS or etc.
When things were falling apart under Embee he was telling kids the truth about what was going on up there. I think he does give kids a positive impression of CU under M2 but it is because he believes it, not because he's blowing smoke.
"Coach MacIntyre was honest about it, he said he wanted to wait and watch me, watch a couple of games and see how I moved on the field." -- Umu on CU offer/commitment

I know I do! Obstructs passing lanes..... agreed.
The remaining DL commits are much more similar in body type. Could be.

Happy that Mr. Umu has donned the black and gold and became a Buff!
