I was just looking through team by team the top 30ish teans at number of HS recruits and composition. All but 3 -5 recruited in the 20+ range of HS kids and the top 10-15 were higher overall. So not much has changed.
Lots of OL and DL recruiting but what was obvious, to me at least, is that OL is a developmental position that coaches see value in cohesiveness and time together as a unit. DL appears to potentially be a place where more is being done in the TP. Hard to say but my first look.
QB also a place many take 2. Good players don’t shy from competition and good coaches know the TP is going to claim some of your better players.
Overall, I like the composition of CU. We seem to be focused on building and while we didn’t take enough HS recruits, again my opinion based on what consistent winners do, we seem to have started to get the composition more in line with how good teams are built to last. I like this next step and hope next year we see numbers increase to be more in line with top teams while keeping the focus on OL and DL (WR and DB are literally everywhere in the portal). Solid looking class of guys in comparison to those around us just need two more like it given the first two were not much to build around given their diminutive size.
One thing I’ve noticed on the board though. Where have all the “we must close the borders” guys gone. Most of us know CO lacks much P4 talent but I feel like evry year for some the measure of a good class is how many of these undersized kids from CO we land. I haven’t heard a peep this year. I’m happy for it but it did just hit me in the face that this has changed.
