Does it matter? They're kicking our ass in recruiting will likely will on the field in '22 as well.

Yes it matters when the conversation is about rather having Fisch.
Trying to think of which highly rated Colorado QBs have actually gone on the even be decent much less stars.
Cyler Miles had one solid year at Washington before retiring due to a hip injury.
Collin Klein had a very solid career at K State but he wasn't highly rated coming out of HS, started his college career at WR.
Lots of Colorado QBs have left us wishing they had signed in Boulder, very few of them ever performed at a level to make us regret them leaving.
Hard pass on Fisch. I would take those Lute Olson Memorial Bucks, though.
Did a little research and it's a toss up as to whether Colorado HS QBs are vastly overrated, cursed or just aren't very good. Look at this list of rated QBs since 2000. Fvcking Yikes.

That’s great and CU stinks so anyone looks good in comparison, but I’m not ready to be clamoring for Jeff Fisch as my HC just yet.
Even if he could recruit Ronald Hodge? or Kendrell Stewart?
Bill Musgrave and, hey! Don’t forget Barry Helton!
Such a good post!
Give me a three star California kid over a four star Colorado kid all day long
Russell Lovett sighting!
Is he on campus yet? QB situation solved.
He’s also severely outrecruited us with a god awful team, so I’d definitely accept that over what we have.Not because he landed this recruit I hope.
I wish CU had hired pretty much anyone other than Dorrell but Fisch started his head coaching career going 1-11 at Arizona. So it’s early to think he’s any good. Also I was super against his hire before we landed Tucker so part of me is rooting for him to fail so I’ll be proven right!

So far yes. But he’ll need to win and keep that up which I’m not confident he will do. Mostly though, I was super vocal against Fisch for CU so I can’t change my opinion of him now over one recruiting class. It’s much more important that I be right than he turn out to be good.

1-11. So far I’m right.
A 1-11 team bereft of talent. The cupboard will be restocked.

And if he wins a whole bunch of games I’ll be proven wrong, but until he does he’s a 1-11 football coach.
I can’t believe people are talking about Fisch like he’s probably going to be good. It’s really hard to only win 1 game in CFB, and it’s really hard to lose 34-0 to Colorado.

Counterpoint: Isn't the hit rate quite low for qb's in general? When you consider their rankings, I'm not sure Colorado qbs really underperform that much. I'd have to see some numbers on that.
Not with a team bereft of talent. It’s like you forget that college football is pretty much just about player talent. Arizona was less talented than Colorado last season. That won’t be the trend going forward as long as Dorrell is the head coach.
Yes, it’s still very hard to go 1-11 in college football
Missing Kain Colter who was a two year captain and two time honorable mention all big ten at Northwestern. He split time at QB with Trevor Semien and played some WR as well.
Good call. He was very good. Ahead of his time on NIL too. He lead the charge to unionize the players. Great kid!
Yeah. But he’s older than Tom Brady.
Will he have to pay the basketball program back the “recruiting” funds he borrowed?

Bill McCartney did go 1-10 in his 3rd season at Colorado. I think you could make a pretty good case that talent was the whole reason that he righted the ship. Are you saying that 1-11 is difficult in today’s college football specifically?
CU's 2022 classed finished a mediocre 47th according to 247, so it's not just about comparing to a "stinky" team- UA finished 22nd and 2nd in the P-12. As you pointed out, this is coming off of a 1-11 season.
For reference, CU has not finished 22nd or higher since 2008, and has never finished 2nd or better in the P-12.
