I don't disagree, if they can get top end talent you don't turn it away, but simple fact is WR is the deepest position with most 4* talent by far. Shay, Winfree, the two TX commits make 4-4* guys in 2017 if all holds up. So yes, abundance of talent at WR is fair compared to the rest of the team, but maybe not compared to a Top 10 program.
Did you really just ask a fanbase, whose season hinges on a transfer QB that is wavering, injured players regaining health, and non-law abiding players avoiding suspension, to send you good vibes? Sorry buddy, we don't have any good vibes left to share.
Your transition to the dark side said was quick.
That's the spirit!
I am actually worried about Nebraska with the three Sacramento kids, but you are right, I am pathetic. Nebraska is doing a good job recruiting California so you can say I am pathetic all you want but this is an important recruit even if we do not get him.
That's my point, though. He is an important recruit for who? Everybody but CU, apparently, so wouldn't we rather see him out of the Pac 12?
No because I don't think Cotton and Falo would follow him to WSU so if he goes there like expected it could help with those two. And we might play Nebraska just as many times in the next four years as we do WSU so it could be a wash. It seemed like Nebraska offered him a couple weeks ago to try and get all three together. No matter what conference they go to, COtton and Falo are at the top of the board for CU so it would be a big loss.
Honestly, if he lands in the Pac-12, that is better in my mind than him going to Nebraska. I'd rather see a good recruit become a direct competitor. We shouldn't hope that we avoid having to play against teams with good recruits or recruits that we lost out on just because it means that it might be more difficult. I want for this program to beat great teams with the kids that we recruit. I don't want for us to start winning because other teams can't land good recruits.
Sending good vibes your way!
Good vibes sent!
totally.
Very strange. Including his Wazzu hat that he pulled out of the bag, he had 9 other hats on the table and none of them were CU. It feels like his "top 5" included CU because, at the time, CU was only 1 of 4 P5 offers. Nebraska and Michigan didn't offer until recently and he didn't go on his Oregon visit until last month.
Nope, but he went on a visit there and had their hat on the table. He also had a UCLA hat on the table with no offer. To me, it just seems like we were never really in the running for his services; especially once he got the Nebraska and Michigan offers.
If I was a recruit, I'd put every blue chip school's hat on the table too before selecting my school, why the hell not?
We should ask every one of our recruits to put hats from Cal, ASU, Nebraska, USC, Oregon and Stanford on the table before selecting CU regardless if they had offers from those schools - think how pissed Nebraska fans would get, it would be awesome.
I hope you're right, but I'm skeptical that we would pull an offer to a kid like this in late April. Even with 2 highly touted WRs on board, CU is not in position to be turning away any talent that is better than what we currently have.
