It looks like he has to slow down for the sake of the qb. which is good, because that means with a bigger armed qb, he can keep in stride for deep balls. hopefully he can develop that skill here.

'14 CO WR Sam Martin (Verbal to Miami, Ohio)
- Thread starter Duff Man
- Start date
All things considered, this is the most bigbang post ever.....
Who the hell is Eddie McCafferty?
Would love to see this kid in Boulder. In-state recruit, top level competition, and a possession type receiver is valuable in almost any offense. One who can also stretch the field is even more valuable.
I violate the rules of the recruiting thread and I cannot even get the name right for my joke. I'm sorry.
I do really think this kids could bring what we need though. I like what i see in the video and I think he would work great in MikeMac's offense.
Re: '14 CO WR Sam Martin
However, it's not too early to learn the difference between to, too, and two.
I like getting legacy players who really want to attend and are deserving of an offer. His size and speed seem to fit the bill, and I'd be fine with us offering.

Consider what you put into a highlight reel, though. Martin caught like 75 passes last season. Our coaches are reviewing game film, not highlights.

Fair enough. 75 catches is a lot for high school ball, so I guess he has solid hands. I like his film don't get me wrong, but if he really wants to be a buff, we can hold out for a while.

Why? Are we going to have to borrow money to make the offer and you want to avoid paying interest for a while?
My son (a Junior near Boulder) knows Sam and grew up playing hoops with him. Sam is a stud athlete. Not sure he has enough speed to be D1 (not sure either way). Definitely a very good athlete, good hands, and good at everything he does. Will be interesting what happens.
I'm sure he will camp at CU and they will know one way or the other, without question.

Re: '14 CO WR Sam Martin
So the 4.5 speed might not be legit? Has he done any camps?

"not attending The Boulder High School"? I guess that means he doesn't have to puke every morning after looking up at Minnie and Jake!
Actually, just about all Fairview does is throw. Coach Mac has totally tailored the offense around Sam and Anders Hill. They actually use a bunch of swing passes, flares and screens as their run game. I don't know how fast Sam is but he is the fastest kid on the field in just about every game I've seen.
Just to be clear, he might be fast enough. Hard to tell against Colorado kids. And an 40 time posted is suspect until we see it in print from a camp or another event that is using electronic timing.
I think Sam has everything else to be successful, if he has the speed/moves to play WR at a D1 level. Very hard to tell given there is rarely a D1 defensive back to measure oneself against.
Sam will have a chance to camp I'm sure and that's where he will be thoroughly evaluated.
I don't get these types of comments. We need to get the best kids we can get, whether from Timbuktu or otherwise. I'll give the local kid the tiebreaker, but you can't offer kids because they are from Colorado, if our goal is to get better.
Just my $0.02 here. The quickest way to rebuild recruiting will be to re-establish a foothold in-state. In a game of resources, you've got the best chance at getting early commitments from in-state kids, and with the current state of the program, our best shot at locking down 4* talent is probably in-state as well. I think slider's point is that you might offer a couple of kids earlier than normal to lock them up in an effort to rebuild the reputation in-state. That's reasonable, in my opinion, as long as it's limited and doesn't become a long-term strategy.
One would think you have a better chance at getting commits from instate kids, but that hasn't been the case. It's not the case in Arizona or Washington either. These states have a lot in common including that most of the kids are transplants (or their parents are) and they are just generally "mobile". See the world!
Combine that fact with the fact that few kids are D1 here, and it's not the answer. The answer is to sign every deserving kid you can from Colorado and anywhere else. If you got 22 scholarships, fill them with the best 22 guys. If you start taking a Colorado kid over a better Texas kid, you will not help the program in the short term or long run. Use that as a tie-breaker!
Still the favorite according to rivals. Looks like he is gonna hit up some bcs camps this summer

As skinny as he is, this might be a greyshirt opportunity.
He should easily be able to get scholly offers from D2, FCS, and even some lower level BCS level schools like MWCs. That said if he wants to play in a major conference and the numbers don't work out would he be interested in a PWO opportunity. It is hard to turn down a paid education, even if it is at a lower level but he lives close enough to school that he wouldn't have to live in the dorms and could continue to live at home cutting the cost by a bunch.
Fairview won state 7v7 yesterday and will travel back east for nationals. Beat Legacy.
No offer from CU

beware the habu
Yep, that would be a really good route for him to take.
My son who knows him pretty well tells me Sam has a 36" vertical. However, I still think he's more of a PWO candidate for a big 5 conference. We'll see. Been wrong many times before and I've never actually seen Sam play in person, just those films. I've seen him play other sports and I don't recall that Vert.
Fairview is going to be pretty good on offense this year. Expect the QB to start getting some D1 interest - do you think Kyle?
