Kinda feels like each coaching search the lid gets tighter and tighter.

Is KD pulling scholarships? I know we've been operating under the assumption that everyone who has eligibility can come back, but this statement I saw on 247 seems like KD is having to cut budget by cutting 'ships.

If that were the case he would not be cutting starters who have a year left. I think its as simple as getting more talent on the roster.
I dunno it seems very on brand for CU to cut guys who’ve already graduated.
Of KD thought they could help us win, they would not be cut
Every School in the nation does that. I'm referencing the guys who have left were cut because of budget reasons. You don't do that for guys who have actually helped you win games in the past.
So Rakestraw is miffed at Barnes coming and Akil wants to go and be close to his new baby? Because the rest (including KD Nixon) don't really figure in 2021 in my opinion.
I don't think any of them did, honestly.

It shouldn't surprise any one that programs are cutting costs. The Buffs are looking at their roster and are making the decision to bring back players or go with younger players. Makes no sense to bring a senior back for a 5th year if the underclassman is better or projected to be better.
But why cut starters / contributors while keeping players like chase Newman, ray Robinson, Dj oats, Luke stillwell, Poplawski, etc. these are players that have never contributed and likely never will.
Perhaps because it's a dick move to end a guy's scholarship before he graduates?
Then every coach in the nation is a dick

Because the Program want to have high graduating rates. The promise of a 4 year degree . It would be a dick move to cut underclassmen scholarships.
Damn that sucks.
Wow
A staff light in recruiting wins loses one coach who has recruiting upside?
woooooof
woooooof
KD has the opportunity to prove recruiting is important with this and the defensive hires. Let’s see what he does
The tight end rooms in a lot better shape than when he took over. But damn it sucks to lose one of our better recruiters although I don't know how good he was outside of his position group
JFC man, whatever. Hope KD knows what he's doing.
Yeah, he seems like he connects with recruits pretty well and I would have liked to see him stick around, but the only one he's really been responsible for was Olsen, right? I also know for a fact that Olsen grew up a die hard CU fan and was likely CU bound regardless.
Given our numerous recruiting failures, I don’t think it’s reasonable to take any recruiting win for granted.
Agree and I'm not trying to do that. Just stating that we assumed Embree is/was a great recruiter because of one, in-state 4* TE recruit, and while it's great that they didn't screw it up and pulled him in, any TE coach with a pulse would have likely kept him here as well.

No he doesn't. He'll be coaching RBs, try and keep up.
