Recruiting so far...

[GuySmiley]

Who like beer and whiskey, to really piss off BYU dad. And his ****ing kids.

It could be rather than recruit a blue chip, CU should just look for a QB's with wild character . . . But remember, Jim McMahon drank tons of beer and was a known antagonist. I'd just stay away from QB's with mullets. Long hair is okay...

IIRC, he's Catholic, not LDS, so that fits

Bruce Feldman likes Mel Tucker. He had some good things to say about him after the Nebraska game. Now he has an article about recruiting so far. There are some good quotes from Tucker in here

“I don’t even want them on the (CU recruiting) board unless they have size; like we’re not even gonna recruit ’em,” Tucker said, “because if you make an exception, you gonna have a team full of exceptions. You just recruit to what you need. It’s a little bit harder. There might be a kid that’s 6-feet and 245 pounds at defensive end that wants to come, and he might be a good player but at the end of the day, you end up playing against Georgia or Alabama, that kid will have a hard time holding up.”

"A team full of exceptions" is a pretty accurate description of CU recruiting over the last decade.

Spectacular interview, thank you for linking. It provides the best description of Tucker’s team building yet.
