I do not subscribe to any of the Recruiting sites and I only follow it casually until signing day, but I was wondering if CU is getting higher on anyone's radar now that some of the uncertainty is gone.
Holy ****, the guy only flew straight here from coaching a Redskins game 36 hours ago.
The question was not are they recruiting - the question was is CU getting anything positive with recruits after this announcement which has been known for a week.
We have Embree, Bieniemy, Hagan, and Carbal who can recruit for us at this moment.

:rofl: JE probably just finished the recruiting test this AM and is on his way to in homes as we speak... Let's give the guy a day.

Is Bieniemy allowed to contact recruits while still employeed by the Vikings? ****ing Vikings! Cut him loose! You aren't going to the playoffs!
Oops, just saw the other thread. Cool! But I still don't know why the hell they just don't cut him loose.
The way I've read between the lines regarding EB staying with the Vikes is that he CHOSE to stay out of a sense of commitment to finish the job he had started. He had mentioned that he felt he needed to stay around to help Frazier finish out the season. Gotta like that - and as much as I'd like for him to be in Boulder full-time - I really admire him for honoring his contract. And even if it wasn't his choice, he's not pouting about it all.
Besides now that he's cleared to recruit even while still the Vikes, can you imagine this call with some recruit...after having discussed building the nexyt powerhouse program at Colorado and the young man being a part of it he says,
"Well, (insert 5-star recruit name here,) I really hate to cut this short, but Brett just came to the door and said practice is getting ready to start, so it's been great talking to you but I have to go out and show Adrian Peterson how he's going to dissect the Bears' D-Line this Sunday! I'll call you after the game!"
Yeah, I have no problem with EB staying on with the Vikes. Embo was the main one to get to Boulder ASAP, and Shanny hooked us up there.
yes, we got the top 15 5 stars to de-commit from Florida, Alabama, Auburn, Oregon, TCU, Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Stanford and commit to Colorado.
we can relax now.
but what about 2011 class?yes, we got the top 15 5 stars to de-commit from Florida, Alabama, Auburn, Oregon, TCU, Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Stanford and commit to Colorado.

Well, that is awesome! Thanks for that. I'm not mad at the Vikings anymore. :lol:
PREFACE: Not that I'm knocking EB for this.
At this moment, EB is making a Coordinator's salary in the NFL, albeit temporary. Another month's worth of that level is ~ $75K before taxes. Let's say he's making $500K a year at CU; so about a $33K differential for a December paycheck. Kind of a big deal when you're moving your family back to the pricey neighborhoods of Boulder County. Plus he gets another month of that title on his resume. Like I said- not that I blame him. I'm sure the loyalty to the Vikes plays a big role as well...
This isn't a recruiting pop. But so far there is a 'retention' pop.
Miller and PRich aren't leaving.
Attrition is common with coaching changes. It's nice that we haven't seen a huge backlash from the players through all this change.
