As I understand it, the only reason Sanders was permitted to do this is because he is a first year coach. Pursuant to NCAA rules, again as I understand it, only first year coaches are permitted to do this. Thus, NU could not do this even if Fitz wanted to. Anybody here have a contrary understanding?

I don't know about recruiting players from high school but just looking at who has transferred in and out of Colorado the players look to be a little better. It's mostly 3 stars with a few 4 stars and a 5 star. The schools with players transferring to Colorado are: Florida State, Auburn, Ole Miss, Oregon, Maine, Liberty, Washington, Washington State, Houston, Southern Utah, Baylor, Alabama, Missouri, Tennesse, and Old Dominion.
Not bad but not exactly great either.

This thread and CSC showed a lot of good athletes came out of Colorado and fitz landed none.
What you will never hear this year is the number of scholarship recruited players we have. Why? Because it’s ridiculous. But the team season results will distract from that point anyway.
I think 14 out of 59 shows Colorado was devoid of much talent. I don’t care for the way Sanders kicked them to the curb, but in this new college world of basically free transfers, players should expect some pressure if they in fact don’t contribute to making the team a winner.
Say what you will about nepotism with Coach Prime naming his son the starter for CU before he even got on campus, but the kid just set the CU single game passing yards record and against a ranked team on the road, to boot. 81% completions!
Colorado is going to a big factor in college football this year. Prime just needs one more recruiting cycle to get the defense he needs and then Buffs will be a top 10 team. Not easy rebuilding both sides of the ball in 6 months, but he’s got 75% of it done already.
PS. His son is an absolute beast.
PSS. Anyone who criticized coach Prime for cleaning out the losers in that program is an idot.

I’ll reserve judgment after seeing some sustained success but it is impressive since I don’t think he has a full roster. Although that could mean depth is an issue going through the full season. Boulder should be a pretty attractive place to recruit to.
