What grade do you give the 2017 recruiting class?

No kidding. When was the last time it did?
@BuffSurveyor coming in with a "C" grade. Haha go **** yourself you stupid ****
Listen here dip****: The class is an average class if you want to win conference championships in the future. Don't even consider a national championship. It's not going to happen at Colorado, Nebraska or any other team with average recruiting classes.
I call it like I see it. So I'll stick with the grad of "C".
If that's the criteria, it's fair. A class like this will never compete for a national championship unless it turns out that we got really lucky on QB and Lytle (or another guy who will play with this class) ends up being an All-American.
If Allbuffs has anything, it's people that love to feed trolls.

It's pretty much the only thing that we're all united on.

Bottom line is that if CU was a perennial top 25 team the class is probably a B. For where this team has been for 10 years it has to be an A. Expectations are definitely re-set going forward though...
What if KD Nixon plays there?

Nevermind, Nixon has almost the exact same height and weight as Lindsay
Might work out, but I feel like he has the highest potential to become an outstanding receiver.
Other than kickers you may be right.
Positive is that we look to be recruiting it already for next year.
If we can get one of those premier type backs next year it is one position that doesn't require a lot of college experience to perform well. A lot of freshmen RBs impact immediately.
Keep in mind that Fontenot might be good, like really good. I understand that he's a 3* who didn't necessarily "blow up" his senior year but our staff shut down RB recruiting almost immediately after he committed to us and they never wavered on that point.
They like him a lot and I'm not saying trust them like we trust them with DBs, but it seems like we could have tried to gain interest from other RBs during the season but didn't care to.

Never gonna happen but that'd change my opinion.
The thing that scares trolles like @BuffSurveyor is that CU went 10-2 in conference and won the South with recruiting classes that were filled with high character types lacking in talent.
No denying this class is the same, but way more talent.
****ting bricks in Lincoln?

He's 5'6" and pushibg 190.
Nixon would immediately add strength to the running back position the Lindsey doesnt have.

Thats a running back if I ever saw onw.
I think RB is probably the position this staff has been the least effective in recruiting.

Easily.
