“Considering where Cu was coming from”
TL;DR version: 11th in the Pac 12 looks pretty good to me.
The team is terrible - why is the fact that freshmen are playing on it a sign that recruiting is going well?
I have the biggest unit in my entire household.
This is more a comment of the team than is it in these three players.
This is a tallest midget argument
You and I have very different definitions of “played well”.
KD wasn't fired for failure to recruit at UCLA, my wife was at school in Westwood at the time and I have a number of friends who are huge fans and involved in the program. He was fired for too many "let down" games, not maximizing the talent on his roster, and a poor bowl record. Much to the frustration of the AD/fans who were under the Nebraska like delusion that UCLA should win 9-10 games every year and beat USC half the time.
Do you believe a program can recruit in the bottom third of the Pac-12 rankings and end up with roster talent in the top third of the conference?
No but the problem is the ranking of high school kids is made by journalists. Lets have a re ranking of classes 2 or 3 years after signing day. Until CU start getting to bowl games consistenty and beating the likes of USC, CU will not be able to compete with USC recruiting. It will take time. We have to build our program with good 3 stars. Coach them up. We will start getting the 5 star recruits when we start winning. Or CU can go down the dark SEC path. There are a lot people like me that remember what happened under Gary Barnett.
So your answer is "No". Thanks for clarifying.
If CU somehow starts winning 7 to 8 games a year on a sorta regular basis it likely won’t be doing it by competing with the likes of USC for many of their recruits. That’s just not realistic. Maybe the occasional one or two recruits at most. Competing, and winning half the battles, with the likes of Utah and Washington is realistic and that should generate said 7 ish wins per season.
There already is a re-ranking of classes 2-3 years after signing day, it’s called your W/L record. Ours tells us that CU has recruited like dogs**t for the better part of 2 decades. It’s not currently getting better in any way, shape, or form. We are simultaneously worse this year than last while, to your point, playing more freshmen and Dorrell recruits. That isn’t good.
no we need MORE of them. Like those lightly recruited diamonds in the rough that end up being ballers. They are super easy to find obviously Serenity. And if they are diamonds in the rough, they become instant DEPTH
Otherwise known as, “The Dark SEC Path”
Clearly the 4*/5* parents don’t believe their son will be looked after and mentored adequately by this staff
I'm about to blow some minds, so brace yourselves.
