Over the past few years we have paid a lot of attention to the question of Mullen players. Some of them have turned out to be good D1 quality players, others have turned out to be bust. We have also dealt with the idea that Mullen players are inclined against going to CU and prefer to go out of state.
Now we are starting to see a lot of the same stuff with the Valor Christian players. I fully expect Valor to recruit itself into contention for the top level of Colorado HS football. At the same time I am also getting the impression that I would rather CU focus it efforts on players from other schools. The Valor players are hard to evaluate because of the talent around them and the hype they seem to be getting. I look at Kozan as a good player but not worth the drama and potentially overrated. We all got excited about Berglund then fortunately he decommited and went to Kansas where he has been a drama case.
On the other hand there have been some schools where we have consistently gotten talent that has come through for us. Columbine kids seem to be very levelheaded and turn out to be players at the next level. Ponderosa kids seem to not play games in the recruiting cycle and turn out well.
Question. Which Colorado high schools are the most reliable sources for us to recruit from and which should we be carefull of.
