To be clear: Embree/EB were both not in my top 5 as choices. However, Credit where credit is due. And there is a big misconception on the board about the difference between EB and JE on recruiting prowess.
Notable players JE recruited to Colorado: Daniel Graham, Tyler Brayton, Andre Gurode, Victor Rogers, Cedric Cormier, Justin Bannon, Mark Fenton, Sean Tufts, Hannibal Navies, Donald Strickland, Damen Wheeler, Rashidi Barnes, and Ben Kelly.
Embree left in 2002. That was 8 years ago.

Only 15 Buffs are currently in the NFL. Embree recruited 5 of them to CU, even though he left 8 years ago. Coached a few of them, including Dan Graham. And quite a few of the others on this list were in the NFL for a while, some a long time.
So ya, JE can recruit. 8 years after he left, he is credited for 33% of the Buffs in the NFL. That's amazing if you ask me.
