There are some important names there, but the inclusion of Moeller in there is hilarious if you knew the background there.

I care about CU football and have no hatred for MM or the staff but can we stop acting like MM has Bill McCartney cred here? Eliot was here 2 years. I wish them both good luck and hope they do well at their new jobs.

Gilbert and Thompson were both signed by FHCMM. Not Embree. Olugbode was as well.
Exactly. Regarding Gilbert, the big mistake was not redshirting him as a freshman. I'm not sure he even weighed 210 lbs as a DE that year.Technically, the entire 2013 class was "signed" by MacIntyre. Does not mean he landed them all. Gilbert was an Embree recruit. The other two committed to MacIntyre.

I'd rather not.I was thinking today of the pipeline at QB that we had when he got here. If I remember right, it was Connor Wood, Shane Dillon and Stevie Joe Dorman. (Jordan Webb tore his ACL in April). After spring ball, Dillon (who was absolutely atrocious) went home, leaving the QB depth chart in July at Connor Wood and Stevie Joe Dorman. Frosh Sefo Liufau hadn't quite yet gotten to campus. Jordan Gerhke was signed in a panic.
Think about that....
Do tell....There are some important names there, but the inclusion of Moeller in there is hilarious if you knew the background there.

Yep. Embree's staff felt that if it wasn't Colorado 5A or Valor Christian then it was a waste of time to scout in-state prospects. Which seems like a fine policy if you're an out-of-state program but I didn't like it for the state flagship.Moeller really wanted to be a Buff. He was begging for a walk-on spot. Embree and his staff just refused to even watch his film and ignored him. There was minimal effort that needed to be expended on their part and it just did not happen.
MM rectified that pretty quickly once he was brought on as head coach.
Iirc Moeller actually said McElwain and CSU made him a much bigger priority but he came to CU anywayMoeller really wanted to be a Buff. He was begging for a walk-on spot.

That's some HS bull**** right there. Did we not have anybody that could've played so Gilbert didn't have to?Exactly. Regarding Gilbert, the big mistake was not redshirting him as a freshman. I'm not sure he even weighed 210 lbs as a DE that year.
No. We literally did not have anyone at the position. Gilbert was the best we had (no sarcasm).That's some HS bull**** right there. Did we not have anybody that could've played so Gilbert didn't have to?
Figured that would be the answer. I didn't want to think back or search for details of **** shows past. Forgive me.No. We literally did not have anyone at the position. Gilbert was the best we had (no sarcasm).
Won 3 P12 games the two years before he got here...and won 4 P12 games his last two years....would not say that is a hell of a lot better in the win column. And the P12 was NOWHERE near as good the past two years as it was during Embrees two years. Embree was awful. MM was average at best.Fair-it was time to move on from him, but we're a hell of a lot better of now than we were when he got here is my point.
I dunno, but it sure looks like Adam is having fun with this on twitter. He's posting multiple versions of this:

Oh ok roger that sorry I popped off amigo.Just teasing, dude. Go Buffs.
There’s a massive difference between 3A, 4A and 5A in Colorado. Part of my initial concerns a year ago when we first offered Ty, but came around due to some offer validation from bigger programs and his camp performancesReal stupid IMO too. I don't think there is really that much of a difference between 3A, 4A, and 5A ball here in Colorado. There might be some 2A schools that fit the profile of having kids playing one way and having to fight for that position. That would have eliminated Ty Evans as our future QB who played 3A ball here in Colorado.
