Couldn’t the same be said for all of our coaches?

Local high profile high school O-Linemen and local blue chip women basketball players have been consistently avoiding CU for some time now. Gets kind of discouraging. I blame the turnstile coaching staffs in the football program and the lack of tournament appearances in women’s hoops....

Outside of Dan Skipper, I can't recall of sny blue chip OL that have left Colorado that has been a major contributor at their school in the last 5 to 6 years. CU has done reasonable well in the last 3 years. We have gotten Wiley, Lee, and Johnson. I know it will be controversial. But I think the local OL talent is over rated. Yes there are some studs like Jake Mikula(sp) but overall the talent pool is not as good as recruiting California or Texas.
See CPVbuff’s post #500 in this thread....I count being healthy and in a two-deep on a P5 team, or a starter in a functional G5 team as a “major contributor”, just for definition’s sake.

I was really hoping this guy would develop into something.
the next post we will read about Senn will be “with the 35thpick in 2025 Draft The Kansas City Chiefs trade up to select this Austrian nightmare of a Left Tackle. He dominated the competition at UConn.
Eh, guy is big but was getting torched in the Spring Game by Justin Jackson. He has a long way to go until he’s ready to be a starting Tackle and CU clearly didn’t want to wait around for that, which is encouraging, IMO.
And, like, Connecticut.
Good attrition. Not a P5 prospect. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him land FCS

Valentin Senn transfer was disappointing. He had all of the physical tools. Just have to refine his technique. But glad to hear he landed on his feet at Uconn. I expect the players that didn't feature prominently in spring football will enter the transfer portal. DJ Oats entering the portal is not a surprise. I did hear good things about Oats. He was getting better. One of the fastest players on the team.

A lot of pressure at Uconn to defund football program... Of course, if that happens, the school generally honors the scholarship for the duration which is how I received 4 years of free undergrad education while never appearing in a game in that sport. Winning!
Next best thing to being on a golf scholarship.
Nothing about the Wray pickup?? Weird.
Who?
Maybe check the thread dedicated to his transfer?
Figured it’d be more of a portal thing than recruiting. My bad.

Should have never played defense. You can't convince me you cant find a way to utilize a guy with his speed and quickness by finding a way to put the ball in his hands.
It's not like defense is a second tier position. I think there has been an elite athlete or 2 that played CB

I'm saying nothing about his film suggested he should play defense. Corner back is the hardest position to play in football aside from QB, and QB is hard because of the mental aspect.
That 2019 class of So. Calif kids really has not worked out.
Luckett and Trujillo now transferring after playing a lot of ball as true frosh. They seem to have lost favor with the post-Tucker regime.
Braedin-Huffman entered the transfer portal last year (and has not emerged anywhere that I can find).
Pohahau transferring.
Leaving just Perry and Rodman from that area left.
While Luckett looked to be talented, I'm not sure how he'd have gotten touches in the crowded WR field we have. We can only have so many WRs.

Luckett was a CB, which is why this is a little concerning
