Sigh...
Our string of bad luck with 5* recruits continues...

Until proven otherwise, if 5* comes here I am assuming they are a) injured and never likely to play, b) a head case or c) a likely academic casualty.
I cannot think of a 5* at CU who made significant contributions. Bummer.
I wish Alfano well.

The only one who has made a clear impact is Ryan Miller.
I stand corrected. Ryan Miller, that guy was awesome.
I would not really include him with other 5* recruits since he was essentially a transfer/flyer from the outset with enormous red flags. Worth the risk based on god given talent, but it’s not to be. Alfano can now move on to something different from college and football.
McChesney once again proves to be the great accelerator (and I mean that in a positive way).

Hard to say since there were none?
U.B.LLLLLLL.
Sure we can, just not since 2005!
I feel as though our defensive line has been a little too nice since then.
It’s as if the Ahoelsken from the politics forum visited the recruiting forum!
Maybe this is my favorite part of the Alfano era?
We need to create a Stock Tips forum.
I got to use a funny Seinfeld meme?
I remember that time he had his picture taken in a Buff uni...epic.
It really is sad when guys with this much talent can't figure out how to use it.
Interesting contrast between Alfano and McChesney.
McChesney is certifiably nuts. I am very glad that he is not on our coaching staff because he has no filter, he doesn't even know that there is another gear other than full out. Alfano is nuts in a different way. He can't get it out of park. He is a guy who doesn't want to be who he is. He seems like he doesn't want to be a football player, doesn't want to be a college student.
Since high school everyone has taken it for granted that Alfano is destined for the NFL, with every passing event that becomes less likely. McChesney never had that kind of talent that Alfano had but he made a career at both the major college and pro level by working harder than everybody everyday. Everybody in the NFL has talent, some more than others, but you don't make it an stay there without the willingness to put that talent to work.
McChesney ends up deleting tweets and occasionally having to make apologies for reacting without thinking but in the end he won't have any major regrets, he has gotten the most out of what he has.
Alfano could very likely end up as one of those people who spend their entire life regretting what could have been. He could have been a pro, he could have gotten a paid for education, he could have set himself up to do what he wants the rest of his life.
