Do you want to know how CU will get these kids interested in coming to school in Boulder?

Winning

We do not do nearly well enough in Arizona.

we do about as well there as Colorado.

Lots of people who are new to each state and the state pride doesn't run as deep. Once we're back to winning, we'll absolutely kill it in both states. Until then, we're going to lose a ton of recruiting battles before they even begin.

That is the truth, and it hurts. Wins solve all on the recruiting trail

Definitely see the 'state pride' thing much less in the West (although certainly many Cali kids are set on staying there). However, it's just nothing like you find in other areas, and it's hardly just the few Deep South states that may first come to mind

Not just losing that explains the struggles in Arizona IMO. Until it is a priority on the level
of TX, CA, and CO, I think we will struggle there.
