'14 CO RB Christian McCaffrey (Verbal to Stanford)

Probably going to be a very good college player but with his name he and CU may both be better off if he goes someplace else.

Talked yesterday to someone pretty close and I'd advise CU fans that the Buffs will not be in the running.

When an in-state kid takes an unofficial visit to Alabama over a year before signing day, it is pretty telling.

Gonna be hard to beat out Stanford, IMO. I'm sure Ed is making a push for the trees.

Someone brought up the extra pressure of possibly playing in-state where his dad helped the broncs to a couple of super bowl rings. But I wonder if there's a little extra pressure being a legacy (following dad's footsteps and going to 'furd)?

I don't think that will be as big of an issue. Eddie Mac was solid at Stanford, but half the fans there are too young to remember. Eddie became a legend in Denver that went way beyond his school days. I expect they will take their visits and do diligence on each of them, before deciding.

He's another kid I coached basketball against in Gold Crown when this class was in 6-8th grade (my own son is also 2014). Sam Martin is another from Fairview, not to mention a couple of CU MBB recruits. This kid did not stand out to me as much then, but perhaps I was too enamored at staring at his Dad on the opposing bench. They were with Regis back then (as I remember) and they crushed us. Perkins was the real deal then as well, but you never know how kids will grow.

One has to wonder if Troy Walters being on staff (a Stanford WR like Eddie Mac) will at least get Christian and family to listen when they might not have been receptive before.

Yea they were with Regis. Played against Max when he was at Regis. Needless to say that was the most embarrassing loss of my life. Had to guard him and they lit us up.

I coached against his catholic middle school team when he was in middle school. He destroyed us, scored like 35 on us. And we weren't a bad team. Average, but not bad. He was an outstanding athlete in 7th grade.
 
My love/hate relationship with Stanford just got a little more hate-ey.

This reminds me of a quote I heard. It goes something like this.

When your kids are 16 they think their parents are the dumbest people on earth. When they hit 22, they can't believe how much their parents learned in the past 6 years.

I coached against this kid in several sports as I have a 2014 kid. I think he is D1 but I would be surprised if he considers the Buffs. I assume a private academic institution would be in play. Stanford, Duke, NW, ND......

Buffaholic, you sure you can't spare the time to consult for CU recruiting? Crystal ball buff, farseer buff, clairvoyant buff, the prophet buff. Called it a year ago.

I'd prefer KreskinBuff, paying homage to the great Johnny Carson!
