I would love to see Kemp play for CU, but I'm not sure basically using 3 scholarships to get one player is a good idea.

Fantastic first post.
A "Fairview pipeline"?
Oh my head. Now I've heard it all. Why the Hell do we need a pipeline to Fairview? It's in Boulder for Christ's sake. It's coached by Tom McCartney. If there was ever a school that had a built in special relationship with CU, it should be Fairview.
This. Also, off the top of my head, O'Niell (sp?) currently on the team. Where's UBL?

Yeah, this. Plus I don't think Carlo cares about the pipeline. He's been tied to Boulder his entire life with that family legacy and has an opportunity to choose pretty much any corner of the country to see something different for his college years. And go to a program that wins. This is about Coach Mac building and maintaining a relationship and showing promise this fall and maybe the next to change his mind.
It isn't about two players who are now in the MAC and Ivy League (with other FCS offers). We gladly would have taken Martin and Hill as PWO but scholarships are limited. Anyone who has followed the team since the coaching change knows that.
I know a little bit about this situation and we could have put the entire Student Body of Fairview HS on scholarship, and there would be no impact. A good kid and he deserves our respect, but to suggest that if we would have recruited Sam or their QB to get Kemp is laughable.
Talk about awful evaluation! Kenny has been a weapon we could have really used!

Exactly. One of the most respectful young men I have met.

Nice insight. :rolling_eyes:
You mean as a player, right? There has to be a chance he wears one just for fun...ya dick
You may be very well right but you have two total post on this board with basically the same declaration and no backing information or support.
Sounds like somebody with an agenda to push to me.
By the way I remember (not going back to look up the post, not worth my time) somebody basically saying exactly the same thing in about the same words about Nick Kasa.
We all know how that turned out.
Welcome to the board! Why do you say that?
I didn't think you could top that first post. But then you go and prove me wrong big time.

Hey Little Timmy
That's cute. I hope you're no older than 4. And the helmet goes on the other way.

It used to be I'd say "Fairview sucks", and folks on this board would tell me to pipe down. Now, you're doing all the heavy lifting for me. Thanks.
Pipe down.
Some folks are being dicks.
But the point, which I think is valid, is... you had made 2 posts that were simple, declarative statements that Kemp wasn't coming here.
That's unusual, to say the least. Folks have no idea whether you know Kemp, are Kemp, or are just trolling the board.
Most of us look at it like this:
- Kemp's going to have a ton of options for where he plays his college football.
- CU is not as good of a team as many of those options, so that makes recruiting Kemp a challenge.
- Kemp has lived in Boulder his whole life. If he wants to stay home, CU gains an advantage. But what we've heard is that he wants to experience a different place, which really would make this an uphill recruiting battle for CU.
Given all that, people here aren't confident at all that CU will sign Kemp. What we do believe is that a guy this talented in your back yard needs to be heavily recruited and for CU to build a strong relationship. It's almost a year and a half until LOI Day and a lot can happen in that time. CU's on-field performance, Kemp having a serious girlfriend who is going to CU, a basic change of heart/mind since a teenager's worldview often changes a lot in 17 months, etc., etc. There's every reason to stay positive and keep fighting. We expect our coaches to do just that.
I'll reiterate: The idea that we should need some kind of "pipeline" to Fairview is absurd. Did I mention that the coach there is Tom McCartney? The son of Bill McCartney? Holy Jesus, what more "pipeline" do we need? This is ludicrous.
Can you imagine a high school in Lincoln that was coached by Tom Osborne Jr? Think about that for a second. You think that the fuskers would need a "pipeline" to that school? :rolling_eyes:
This entire conversation is insane and pushed by somebody with an agenda. What that agenda is, who knows.

Had a chance to see Kemp play today. He's a beast. We absolutely need this kid. I don't care what we have to do to get him. He's a difference maker. As a High School junior, he's already physically ready for the next level. Big. Strong. Fast. I don't want to hear this junk about there being no way he will ever come here. He needs to be a priority. Get it done.
Very, very unlikely he comes here. Just reality. The coaching staff has made him a priority and it likely won't matter.
I refuse to believe this. There's no reason why CU can't make a solid and convincing case for him to stay in Boulder. This is the kind of player you build programs around. Dominant.
Ive seen a lot of high school kids play a lot of football. He is at the top of the list. Extremely impressive. He plays a lot with his hand on the ground on defense. Wouldn't shock me to see him at DE. He even lined up at nose tackle today. Just about decapitated the RB just as the handoff was made. Pure miracle the kid held on to the ball.
