Coach McCartney actually recruited a fair number of players from Louisiana. So quite a few guys preferred Boulder. My roomate transferred from LSU, he didnt think much of it. I got the impression it wasn't the safeest campus. If facilities are your thing then it is defintely the place for you, but there is more to a school than facilities. I never really cared what my weightrooms looked like, you are there to work out not worry if they have spanish tile or berber carpet.
We should persue this discussion in much more detail on this board.
Now showing a Florida State offer on Rivals. 6 Power-5 offers at last count and still a 2 star.....
His rating is ridiculous. Top recruit in this CU class.
What the hell? That ain't how I spelled it!
Mark down Jan 21st as the day that DBT discovered auto-correct

Wow, he has date-correct, too.

UT has 21 commits, but only 2 offensive linemen committed. It looks like a really weak 2014 class of O-linemen in Texas.
Not anymore, unless I don't know how to read that page (which is very possible).
EDIT: I do see it under his profile, and all 5 Crystal Ball predictions say Texas, but not sure how credible that is.

He's a Colorado commit until he isn't. I refuse to get bent out of shape when a team like LSU, UT, UCLA or UW comes calling on somebody we have committed. I view that as a sign that our coaches are doing their homework on these kids and getting in early. We can't have it both ways. We can't get pissed off at the lack of other BCS offers while simultaneously getting pissed off when other BCS schools make offers to our commits.
It's not the offer, it's the multiple trips after committing.
OK. So you're going to get pissed off that an 18-year old takes an all-expenses paid trip to Austin for the weekend? I'm struggling with why this is worth getting upset over.

IIRC he turned down a trip to FSU and cancelled his trip to LSU. So this would be his first, and only, trip after committing.

I'm not pissed off. I just think his verbal should be considered soft, at best. He's obviously listening to other schools.

That's right and don't forget fellas we have God on our side. Free article on one of the thousand Texas recruiting sites on Rodriguez. Interesting in the comments how they are bitching about his quality as a recruit..... http://www.burntorangenation.com/re...orns-official-visit-colorado-buffaloes-commit
Rodriguez has been a solid commit to date, why should that change? He has a great opportunity to be part of a big turn around at CU with coaches that have been committed to him from the beginning. CU has a ton to offer. Bernardi has coached many players in the NFL. I am definitely biased; but it sure seems like he will make a bigger impact in college football at CU than at UT. CU is gearing up for a good run starting in 2015. Elijah stick with the Stampede.
