22-23 Transfer Portal and General Recruiting Catch-All Thread
- Thread starter The Alabaster Yak
- Start date
s from FSU and Alabama, Hunter and McClain?! This is bull****! I keep receipts!
But do you really need a library in a book banning state?Was it this thread talking about LSU's problems overall beyond the football program?
Yeah, about that...
Tyson was more than speedy. He was a true frosh who broke into the lineup mid-season and finished the last 3 games with amazing numbers. There's a reason Oklahoma wanted him.
OL recruiting under B'OB is NEVER going to look great on paper. But he knows what he's looking for. If there's one position that the recruiting services get wrong over and over again it's OL. So much of it is between the ears and in the chest.
The OL will be the 2nd most improved unit on the team, behind QB1. Yes, low bars, but I have very high expectations on both.
The good thing about Mata not having a super strong leg is that it won’t hurt the long snapper as much when the kick hits him in the ass.

Tyson was a loss, but the WR room is looking quite speedy and talented w/o him. I wish him well.

I don't think before I post
I honestly think WR has been so well recruited that debating Tyson and MLC leaving is meaningless. From all accounts Hunter is a RD1 athlete at WR and there are some other guys with NFL caliper abilities coming in as well. And then there are a bunch of track guys as depth and then the Freshman. WR is covered.
Got ourselves a walk-on WR from LSU with good speed and quickness.

Let’s see.
Do I find a HoF player, possibly the best CB in the history of NFL and CFB, one of two generational two-major sport stars (right there with Bo Jackson), who as a head coach took Jackson State from an also-ran to a winning program almost immediately, while bringing in the #1 recruit in the country to an HBC over every major P5 football power, then following that up a commitment from the #1 CB recruit in the country again the next year directly to CU, along with the first real 4 & 5* players CU has seen—in any significant number—since the 90s, before he has coached a single game or had his first fall camp, while bringing in outstanding coaches including head coaches who have agreed to be coordinators just to work with him to be capable, credible, and on-plan going forward?
OR
Do I find a small spasm of meaningless, uninformed discontent whining about not getting dessert before dinner to be persuasive about the reality of CU football going forward?
Hmmmm.

For guys like you:
"Of all the bets on who will win the College Football Playoff, 8.1% are on Colorado. That ranks sixth, behind just Michigan, Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia and LSU. All of the first five teams have won national titles recently or came very close. Colorado has been to just three bowl games in the last 15 seasons and didn't win any of them."
Bettors are grabbing Colorado, led by new coach Deion Sanders, to win national title
"Coach Prime" has made Colorado relevant again.

Guys, I am worried that Coach Prime is all show with no substance. He needs to focus on getting some war-daddies in the trenches if he’s going to compete with the big boys.
Starter
Walker. After all these years of following recruiting I tend to put a steep discount on players that prepped in CO.
Maybe ... Domenick and McClendon seem like locks on the edges but who knows.
It'll form into a healthy rotation, regardless!
I'm with you on that, but he was an SEC guy who saw time in every game during his RS Freshman season. I'm not going to read Mizzou boards, but I presume he would have been at least part of the rotation at OLB/Edge this year. I think the concern over the level of competition and development as a CO prep can probably be entirely dismissed at this point.
Started their last bowl game
I share BJ's concern with CO prep recruiting (especially QB). There are outliers, like Cmac, but he's the exception not the rule. Far more examples of CO preps going P5 and sitting the bench their entire careers or transferring to lower levels.
As I said above, Walker is a guy who spent two years in the SEC, has physically developed into a guy who can play at this level and actually saw playing time early in his career, so at the absolute worst CU just picked up an SEC rotational guy that provides depth. At best, CU just landed an SEC starter.
