You could care less?That's interesting but is this supposed to be an excuse for CU's pathetic DL recruiting the last 15 years? I may be way off but I bet there are some NFL DT's from texas and california.
If they are great in college and help CU to become a dominant defense again that's enough for me, I could care less about the NFL.

Yes, espn, the dumbass female sideline reporters, espn has turned into TMZ and the NFL, who praises a rapist because he had 1 good pass in the afc championship game.
It's in the article. The point about looking at NFL D-Linemen is that if you are good in college you are VERY likely to get a look in the NFL. Those that are extremely good stick around and contribute more numbers. Obviously, this is a small sample size as we're only looking at CURRENT NFL D-Linemen (more accurate would be to look at the last 10 years or so), but one of the tables shows percentage of US population in a given state vs. percentage of NFL D-Linemen produced. Texas' percentages of US Population and NFL D-Linemen are very similar (~8%), whereas by percentage there are about half as many DL as you'd expect in CA. There are twice as many DL as you'd expect from Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Montana. Interestingly, there are about 4 times as many DL as there "should be" from Hawaii and Louisiana. Throw in the fact that there are 4 in-state BCS programs each in CA and Texas competing for those recruits and there are 13 other BCS schools that are "in-conference" for TX And CA and recruit those areas heavily it's not surprising that CU routinely doesn't end up with a good chunk of those prospects. However, I expect the current staff to turn this around given a full recruiting cycle.

Joel Steed was a local guy, right?
