I did a little digging in the Rivals database looking at CU's QB recruiting over the years and was a little surprised at how bad it has been. It seems like kids now get more offers now than they did about 10 years ago but I haven't been able to confirm that. This also doesn't consider guys like Blake Stenstrom who committed to CU early and was very vocal that he was done. If he played the recruiting game, its possible he would of had more than 1 P5 offer.
Since 2002 (19 recruiting classes) CU has only had 4 QB commitments with 3 or more P5 offers! 4 in 19 years! Two of those 4 are expected to be on the roster next year. 2019 was the only year without a QB commitment.
