Final AP Top 25

i love that we had a top 20 finish, especially after dropping our last 2. we have a foundation to work from. and, remember, we used to be in the national dialogue every year as a perennially ranked team. this helps us get the "benefit of the doubt" in rankings if we can keep building.
I don't expect us to be in the AP's preseason Top 25. But I do expect us to get some votes and be ranked if we start 3-0 against a very manageable schedule.

We've got our one hit wonder hanging for you.
Hey, glad ya showed up! Wanted to ask ya, how's recruiting going for you guys?
I'm not sure how it's going to end up. Here's what I can show from Rivals, 247 and Scout recruiting for CU and NU. (as of 01/10/2017 CU has 24 verbal commits and NU has 15)
Rivals:
--- CU rank 23, avg. star 3.00
--- NU rank 38, avg. star 3.33
247 Sports:
--- CU rank 24, avg. player pnts 85.33
--- NU rank 33, avg. player pnts 86.53
Scout:
--- CU rank 21, avg. player star 3.00
--- NU rank 27, avg. player star 3.27
I don't know if CU is finished or will add to the 2017 class. Been to busy to follow CU much the last month or so.
NU is looking to add 5-6 more to the class, maybe 7-8 if certain targets want in who won't be turned down. Most recruits the NU Coaches are in on are high 3*** or 4**** players, and won't commit until the next week or so. These Coaches know what they are doing and will close well. NU is getting recruits to fill needs and balance the classes. My best guess is NU moves up in the rankings to the 15-22 range, if the right things happen. 18 year old kids are hard to read. You never know what they are thinking, what their parents are thinking or even if they are thinking sometimes.
How do you think recruiting is going for CU?

There is some consideration for personnel losses, recruits, healing from injuries etc, otherwise the Fall 2017 opening poll would be identical to the prior year's final poll. And we've had some losses:
