One of the best hires made so far and it was from completely out of left field. Dude basically had 1 impressive year coaching the DBs at Army and no ties to the western US. But he's doing a fantastic job.

I’m sure Mac helps him close on DBs, especially with his history
Wasn’t he a big time referral from a pretty big name coach like Aranda or something?
I believe you're thinking of Drake, who comes from that coaching tree with all those LSU ties.
Aranda did recommend brown.
I remember Drake being a rec as well but don’t remember Arandas name with him. Thought it was Brown
Yeah it was brown. I’m too lazy to look it up but I’m pretty sure it’s in Adams initial article about the hire.
here we go

Meh. The ones who truly want to be Buffs will show up, those are the ones you want.
I do hope the new staff goes after a lot of these DB recruits, Mac did have a pretty good class of them going.
So I have a shot?

No. Are we going to pretend to ridicule this to death? Multiple recruits have come out and said, “I’m a Buff, no matter what.” Those are the kids who are truly committed to Colorado. If Chapman doesn’t want to be here, oh well, later.
How about you let a new staff get hired and see how things shake out instead of just flippantly talking about "kids who really want to be Buffs" when MM was just fired. There are a lot of moving parts right now.

Correct. Salvaging the top end of this class is the top priority of the incoming staff.
yup this is all part of the process and to be expected....

How about I just have my own opinion, thanks. There’s no “flippantly” talking about anything when the kids themselves have said, “Buffs no matter what.” There is no more obvious, “kids who want to be buffs” then kids who say as much no matter what.
Now drop it, once again you’re hounding my opinion and going off topic and then pretending like you’re innocent. Recruit thread.

This is all on-topic, martyr. Chapman may end up being a Buff after all.
Everything I said is absolutely true. Even the kids who are "Buff no matter what" may not end up signing with the Buffs.
No matter how much these young men are told to commit to a school, not a coach, they will almost always commit to a coach. They find a system fit and a personality fit that they feel good about. As fans, we're committed to a school rather than the coaches. It's very different for the players. Even after they're here and become committed to the school, a coaching change can change their experience a lot and make it suck for them.
I think every one of our recruits - even if he has said that he is still 100% committed - should reserve a bit of his decision based on the conversations he has with whomever we hire. It has to feel right and be a fit or it would be a mistake for him and for CU.

No information on this one way or the other - but could have something to do with that article posted on 247 Friday. Recruiting his teammate?
Nice. Still think he is the best DB prospect the last staff was in on.
