Embo as a recruiter

[SteelCity Buff]

While I was probably more excited to see what EB could do recruiting as a HC, I'm still looking forward to seeing Embree on the recruiting trail. I can't remember if it was a thread here or an actual story in one of the papers, but the fact was that Embree had recruited a 4 of the 15 Buffs currently in the nfl. For those of you with a better memory, who were some of Embree's good signs, either as a buff or at ucla? I'd also be interested in some thoughts about how JE or the proposed staff will do.

There is a list in one of the threads here but it is something like 5 of the 15 Buffs in the Pro's are Embree recruits as was Marcedes Lewis at UCLA.

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.

Ahead of the game baby!

And she agreed with Nik, that you can't rep yourself, so she repped him.
