Sh!t just got real with CU recruiting

I'm mad about the pace of hiring due to ESD. I'm not freaking out that CU recruiting is doomed. That conclusion is a freakout about something we won't even know for sure until 2020. Two different issues.

You’re okay with zero accountability? If HCMT can’t land a top 25 class this year he’s a bust.
We aren't even close to that level of mass chaos yet. Also, I'm still laughing.
Plus they were losing all the highest rated guys from recruiting classes that had been very highly ranked. After their insufferable "Calibraska" kool-aid fest for the past 2 years in all their tweets. Kinda different than parting with some 3* recruits before signing day.

There's no nachos recruiting thread. So here we go.
Guacamole is for closers.
Ice Tea for a beverage. No salsa dancing for De Prato tonight - he's got in home visits planned!
Who are these guys?
Never mind. They are 20’s

I didn’t know where else to put this so if it should go somewhere else just move it. But maybe we need to temper our expectations for early signing day. This article is from last year is about how teams that went through coaching changes lost a lot of commits during the early signing period.

a safety, QB (dual threat) and WR from Duncanville, Tx. Lots of talent in that area.
I'm loving the moves I'm seeing. Commitment to being massive in the trenches wasn't just talk. Commitment to speed & toughness wasn't just talk. Going after guys who look like they can win their individual battles against the USC players wasn't just talk. This is shaping up to be a very good transition class that has me super excited to see what 2020 looks like.
It certainly seems like HCMT has a vision and a plan.
I was listening to McChesney's podcast and he was talking about how MM's staff used to recruit at Six Zero. He's seeing lots of blue chip program recruiters but not much at all from the Buffs, now or in the past. I am assuming that'll change soon. He also said they'd wait to see who else offered before making an offer and that he'd love to be the OL coach at CU. Kinda interesting IMO.
McChesney is a blowhard who needs to stay in his lane. He is paid a lot of money by these kids' parents to get them looks from college recruiters and while he has done a good job developing some guys and helping get them offers from some solid programs, he has a conflict of interest and has continually badmouthed the in-state programs for not offering every one of his clients. He is also not qualified to be an OL coach at the FBS level, let alone the P5 level.

Thanks. I don't know much about him...except he can be pretty entertaining at times.

Completely fair.. And I find it odd that he doesn't think CU is around at all, when Adams was at Six-Zero multiple times, and we have signed more than a few of his kids. Sure, there are a few kids in-state that it was frustrating we didn't offer, but whatever...we did go after some of his guys. I'm only responding though to you, because in spite of all of our personal differences as posters, we have one thing in common - we all love CU. Chez may be loud and proud about other things you, I, and others don't care for, but he loves CU. At the least, he will not push a kid away from CU. The guy still LOVES the Buffs.
Agreed and we do have that as a common denominator at the very least. There does come a point, though, where being a Buff is not worth much to me, and Matt M is flirting with that line when he chooses to be deliberately obtuse and misleading about CU's recruiting practices in the state of CO. He has also gotten a fairly loud voice in the Denver media scene over the last few years and is very influential with CO preps. I would hope he would never directly steer anyone away from his alma mater, but bad mouthing the program for not recruiting mostly FCS/G5 level recruits isn't a good look.

This. He does have his own brand he needs to sell. I understand and get that. I wish he could find ways to sell his brand without calling out (what he thinks) the lack of attention from CU. This also goes back to what we have talked about many times, is the size and quality of the players that come out of Colorado. He only has a CO footprint, he needs to get these CO kids to fork out $$$ so he gets paid. He needs to push that CU and others will see your kids as long as you fork out the $$$. Unfortunately he only gets a couple P5 kids a year and if they don't fit into CUs plan then he has a hard time selling his brand.
It most definitely is going to be a transition class. It's just looking like a decent one
Cautiously optimistic that he can close a lot of the guys they bring this weekend to make it a very solid transition class.
We still have the regular signing period as well that FHCMM always just ignored to bring in more big time recruits.
Based on what Tucker's eventual standards will be yes, but I don't think we are going to have a drop in recruiting from what we've been seeing. I know that's not a high standard.
