Rhule didn't take the bait. 6 Quote Link to comment
gobiggergoredder Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Quote By contrast, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders has made zero off-campus recruiting trips and hasn’t visited any recruits away from Boulder since his hiring there in early December 2022. How is this even possible? 2 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Rhule learned last year that even vague, tangential statements will be used by Colorado as rage fuel, so he made a point not to give the reporter anything. The whole gist of the article is manipulative. It was pretty obvious the reporter was trying to drum up controversy. 1 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment

The whole gist of the article is manipulative. It was pretty obvious the reporter was trying to drum up controversy. Yes, it was. The reporter was looking for click bait and Rhule gave him nothing. That being said, I did like how the reporter highlighted Rhule's commitment to forging strong relationships with high schools and their head coaches. He's going about it the right way, as opposed to Sanders. Quote Link to comment

I didn't get that from the article at all. I saw a comparison of two ends of a spectrum. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Everyone knows Sanders MO at recruiting. I wonder if Rhule is exceptional at his MO or if they could have picked anyone else to be the antagonist v Sanders? It’s cool they profiled N v CU since we are rivals and gave Rhule the pub. Quote Link to comment

Conf realignment killing natural rivalries aside, CU def was one of our rivals. I, for one, am sad we don't play more often. Really from the late 80s until the 00's, colorado was consistently our biggest opponent in terms of division matchup, caliber of team and proximity. The fan bases genuinely despised one another and they brought out the worst in us. Its really era based, Big8 days was OU, big12 days was mainly colorado, bigten has been a forced iowa rivalrly that is starting to improve. TL/DR: CU def one of our rivals, but not really anymore if we dont play ever 2 Quote Link to comment

Pedro G Posted Friday at 04:35 AM Share Posted Friday at 04:35 AM I will be the first to admit I’m wrong. But I’m just not seeing the continuity in development with relying on transfers — especially if Coach Prime losses a lot in the portal. But what do I know. 1 Quote Link to comment

Basically, Deion's method only can work if there is only one Deion. At some point someone has to take and develop players out of high school... 1 Quote Link to comment
