We would not have expected 3/4 of the players he has recruited from high school to play for us their freshman year. Either he has much lower standards for his program, or is just stating a excuse for why he doesn't leave Boulder to recruit.
The odd part is he's really not wrong about half the kids that don't play 1st year will probably leave to find playing time. Focus development on those that don't leave, be picky the next cycle and fill in with experience from the portal. But at the same time it just feels wrong too. Weird!! I don't hate it but I don't like it either.
Well he's not wrong but he is also doing the absolute extreme version of it. I'm not sure it works nearly as well without a top 5 QB at the helm.
