So playing away from home with your best friend vs. playing near home in front of many family and friends.
I'd imagine he will weigh off some other important factors as well.

I don't really care where he is from, it would be a bad recruiting loss. Probably a starting spot waiting for him here on more of a defensive minded team and one of the best linebacking coaches in college football. His best friend from grade school who went to the same college as him is also here. If we can't win that decision we won't win a ton of other ones.
I think we get him, but this is a ridiculous sentiment especially the bolded
Well I disagree.
Deep argument!
I already explained why, not going to repeat it over and over.
Art Kaufman, DC and LB coach at Cal isn't a slouch. Cal has been improving on defense as well, and has a big void at LB ready to be filled. But he's no JMFL.
Bottom line is that the kids' best friend probably counts as much as the view of the flatirons. How he fits in, his coaching relationships, how likely those coaches are likely to be at such school, and other unknown (to us) factors could all play a big role. For some kids other things such as leaving your girlfriend, playing in front of Grandma and Grandpa, or getting a degree from Cal when you're a native NorCal kid can be huge things.
We don't really know too much about what factors this kid weighs the most heavy, so yeah, you're post above was overly dramatic.
It's hard to know if JMFL will still be a LB/DC coach in 3 years (CU or elsewhere?). But I'd say that Sonny Dykes has left little doubt that he's looking for a better gig. I'd be neg selling that every time against Cal.

We have one healthy inside linebacker right now so yes it would be a big recruiting loss. Adams as the area recruiter who is the most underrated recruiter on the staff according to some. Combine that with our best position coach and one of the best linebacker coaches in the country, nfl included, and his best friend is one of the leaders on the team and defense. This is almost set up perfectly.
Desperately need more size in the middle and someone who can take on pulling guards and centers going to the second level. Last year, any time Gamboa, watanabe or olugbode were engaged by a lineman they were taken out of the play. Smaller backers can't be depended on to stay healthy either.
Ironic
Astute observation.

No lose situation iyam; either we get the kid or we get more fuel for the "this staff can't close, they need to be replaced" fire. Either way, we all win!

Jeezus...being Buff fans, our nuts should be pretty used to it by now.
I have been supportive of Mac for a while now and I am definitely not in the fire mac side but we need this guy badly and the situation should help the staff. Have to be able to close these guys.
Remember, he is a NoCal guy who has wanted to go to Cal all along and took a couple unofficials there before CU was on the radar or in contact. And while his best friend is at CU, they would only be teammates for a year.
If CU wins this recruiting battle, it will be one hell of a recruiting win.

Need him in the worst way. Would immediately turn arguably the weakest area on the team into a formidable position group.
I'm not sure. My take is that he was always leaning Cal and that is where he expected he would go if they offered. CU has made him think twice and maybe he likes CU more but it's hard to go against what you thought you always wanted and actively pursued.
I'm thinking it's a coin flip.
Would be a nice 2nd steal from from Cal

Come to CU JK or you'll have to deal with Flukes, here too, that's beside the point.
Couldn't beat out the hometown/dream school. Damn.
That stings.
