Indeed!
gotta agree
This one hurts, but Embree is still batting pretty well on these. Berglund, Martin, Jones were all good moves to avoid. This one may prove to not be so much. I doubt Rippy would be playing much for us, though. Dude was like 190 and our LB is actually sorta kinda deep.

Didn't he slow play us for the commit, and when we was ready to commit we were already full?
He tried to commit but the staff told him not to take any more visits and work on his academics and he didn't so they moved on. Gotta think Embree used up the amount of risks he could take last class.

Weren't there rumors of character issues with Rippy?
And moreso his attitude towards academics than his ability to qualify.
We clearly have the talent to turn away 4*'s

Wow. So you are saying if we had good players, we are still ****ed?
The players we have are certainly good enough to beat the likes of CSU and Sacramento State. They're good enough to put up a fight against Fresno, UCLA and ASU. The players we have are good enough to be 3-3 or 4-2 right now instead of 1-5.
You have to remember that we want the next head coach to have some talent to work with...

I don't think before I post
Still disappointing that we turned him down. Embree has made some head scratcher moves with recruiting.

Embo has worked miracles in recruiting. I have been impressed with the players signed considering the state of the program before Embo was hired. Looks like it was a good decision to drop him if he is already looking to transfer after his redshirt season with Pittsburgh. I am not for taken anybody just because they have a 4 star next to their name. We need to look at the entire package.

The OL/S/LB depth chart
2011 - #12 in the Pac 12 (yes I realize this was a short time frame to recruit for)
2013 - #12 in the Pac 12
Average: #10.6 in the Pac 12
Coaching was absolutely a problem, but so was recruiting.

I'm no math wiz, but how does 12 and 12, average 10.6?

Because Embree's first and last class were ranked #12 in the PAC 12. His second was a good class and I didn't feel the need to include it in the list because it was a good class relatively speaking. (12+8+12)/3=10.6 average

If you are going to include the swing and misses, might as well include the home runs. . In hindsight the decision not to recruit Willingham, Rippy and Berglund were good decisions. I want Coach MacIntyre to look at the entire package. Is the student athlete the right fit for CU, not just because he is a 4 star.
