The middle part of this story will make your eyes bleed.
Seriously, how can this be explained away???

It can't...we've been sold a bill of goods and are paying Danny to continue to fail miserably. How can you not even talk to a guy 45 minutes away who is good enough for Stanford? Oh yeah, I forgot, CU is going to do things the right way, and we all know how low Stanford is athletically and academically....The middle part of this story will make your eyes bleed.

Still F'N LIVID we didn't even give Onyeali the light of day.....that pisses me off...didn't even try for some of the kids...what a friggin joke
I would rather suck balls with a bunch of Colorado kids on the team.
yikes. and it wasn't even like they evaluated them and thought they sucked... they just didn't do the work.![]()
I admit that I don't follow the details of recruiting, but come on, do you really believe this? I know you guys all hate Hawk, but unless you are on staff and know this for a fact, I suggest that you are guessing (and probably incorrectly). Just cuz a kid said he didn't see Hawk doesn't mean he wasn't evaluated. There are plenty of reasons that kids choose schools and plenty of reasons that schools choose kids. All you are getting is one side of the story because the school chooses (rightly, in my opinion) not to bash the kids that don't choose CU.
I now return you to your previously scheduled program, "50 things I hate about Hawk..."
uhhh. Dillon Bonnels story about how we didn't even get on him until after Nebraska offered him is what I based that comment off of. How pathetic is it that Nebraska is getting in on Colorado guys first? Either they knew about him earlier or the staff mis evaluated him and only realzied it when the offers started rolling in. Either way, they blew it.
My point is that we don't really know if they were given the time of day or not. And we're just assuming the worst case. .
He said he and other highly rated in-state prospects — including Mullen defensive end Nduka Onyeali (No. 3) and Steamboat Springs' quarterback Austin Hinder (No. 6) — discussed CU's lack of interest. Onyeali chose Arizona State, and Hinder is off to the University of California, Berkeley.
"They seemed to blow past us," Bonnell said. "I've never seen coach Hawkins' face. We saw CU focused more out of state. . . . CU offered after they heard on a morning talk show I was considering Nebraska."
Hard to tell which is more damaging to CU football: Denver Post (Kensler/Meyer/Henderson/Page) for the relentless shots they publish or
or Hawkins/DiStephano/Benson for neglect.
Ugly.
Don't know. Like I said, CU needs to do everything it can to be a more attractive option, so that these kids are beating down Hawk's door for a chance to play in Boulder. I can't figure out why people don't think Hawk is trying to get the best kids he can? His job depends on it.

In this case, without Hawkins' neglect and the resulting quotes from the recruits, the Post would have had nothing to publish. That tips the scales a bit for me....
