With the ban rescinded, camp destinations CU coaches will now be attending include Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Southern California, Northern California, Utah and possibly Hawaii.
Wish they would hit up Miami & atlanta as well but a great list
Interesting that last cycle it seemed like we were going to be extremely active in Florida going forward, and now with Chev, we have essentially abandoned it and turned our focus to Texas. Not complaining, just interesting to see such a huge shift.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like we had quite a few offers thrown out in TX last year, too, but just weren't putting our top resources there. That's how FL feels to me this year and I think not having a camp down there kind of reaffirms the idea, no?We have a ton of offers out right now in FL. Dunno if we have abandoned it as much as just not having much traction right now.

Nah but taking a player or two from there wouldn't be a bad thing.We're recruiting Florida. We're recruiting Georgia. This summer, some of them will visit and we should gain some commits. But will never be the foundation of CU recruiting like CA, TX and CO. Nor should it be.
That's fine, I was just saying that last cycle made it seem like FL was going to be as much a part of the strategy going forward as TX seems to be this cycle.We're recruiting Florida. We're recruiting Georgia. This summer, some of them will visit and we should gain some commits. But will never be the foundation of CU recruiting like CA, TX and CO. Nor should it be.
Hopefully they could do a camp in Jacksonville soon. Proximity wise your going to hit a ton of Supahotbeds.
Maybe a joint camp with UCF? We have a good relationship with the OC.
Seems odd to co-host a camp with another d-1 school.
Michigan is Co-Hosting with UGA.
I would tend to agree. However UCF, while being D1, is not an upper echelon (p5) team. Think it would work out well actually. A lot of kids in FL choose UCF, so giving those kids an opportunity to meet the CU staff and see what CU is all about is intriguing to me.I guess I'm pretty out of touch with these camps.
It just seems that you wouldn't want another upper echelon team there who may be vying for the same recruits.
Heh. Shows what I know.
UCF can have leftovers. Win/Win.I would tend to agree. However UCF, while being D1, is not an upper echelon (p5) team. Think it would work out well actually. A lot of kids in FL choose UCF, so giving those kids an opportunity to meet the CU staff and see what CU is all about is intriguing to me.
The NOLA trip at least gets us in the region and is an easier trip for players in GA and FL.
And New Orleans is much better? (assuming you're referring to the weather)A satellite camp in central florida in the middle of June/July is about as awful as it gets.
I've never been to New Orleans so probably not. I just started sweating thinking about it.And New Orleans is much better? (assuming you're referring to the weather)
I've only been once in late August and it was pretty miserable during the day. Never been to Florida, though, so maybe it's even worse. I like our focus in LA, but don't quite understand why we are seemingly putting more emphasis there than FL. Far more opportunity and talent there.I've never been to New Orleans so probably not. I just started sweating thinking about it.
I don't think adding more camps is the answer. The actual on-campus camps need to be much bigger/better going forward.
Agreed.On Campus camps are tough for CU given our distance from major recruiting hot beds and the fact that we can't pay or assist for them to attend. I just don't see how to make it much bigger/better going forward. You've got to go to the kids, they can't come to us.
