Might have to stay off the internet today.

Decommitted from CU and signed with Northwestern.

I’m not too worried about it. The Founders League (Avon Old Farms). Is really bad a football. I think the kid is going to struggle at the P5 level.

Northwestern? DiStefano must be outraged. CU is clearly not overselling its academics enough.

THIS. That said, the system Fitzgerald has in place will allow the kid some time to acclimate and improve. Plus, their facilities absolutely destroy ours.

You downplay it all you want but he was a big, fast and athletic ILB. He would have been a good addition here. And Pat Fitzgerald, who knows a thing or two about LBs, decided to take him, whether as a backup plan or not. This is not a good thing

But certainly par for the course with this program. They were 3-9 last year. We were 4-8. Which program do you think recruits think has a higher upside? Northwestern puts CU to shame across the board.

Obviously the buck stops with Dorrell and the staff, but I have a hard time blaming them for losing a CT recruit to a better program 10 hours before signing. Their strategy of recruiting the northeast is questionable though

Lots of angst about losing a mid 3* kid from the Northeast that didn't have any official camp stats for size and speed or any offers that screamed this kid can ball. Wish the kid luck, but if this is the type of recruit we are upset about losing, our recruiting is even worse than I thought.

That's hardly the point.

It worked once upon a time, we were ****ing good though. Phil Savoy was from D.C. I think.

Narrator: Our recruiting is worse than he thought.

Well, last minute flips are bound to happen, good luck to him.

Agree. Our ILB depth is… questionable. Losing a guy who has a shot to actually cover RBs and TEs (something we don’t have in our current LB corps) is bad.

The last 8 words is all you needed to say

 

[MtnBuff]

Yea, he's good enough to compete for a middling B1G program but not good enough for a bottom PAC 12 team.

Keep convincing yourself that losing him doesn't hurt.

Buffs are becoming a college football version of the Rockies.

I don't think he's good enough to compete at either.
Better?
