Crabtree said the uncertainty surrounding the future of the Colorado coaching staff combined with the lack of results on the field has led prospects elsewhere. It doesn`t help Colorado`s cause that Nebraska has rebounded nicely from its coaching change just two years ago and programs such as Arizona, Oregon State, UCLA, Utah and Boise State all either have returned to prominence or have finally reached it.
"I think any time you have uncertainty throughout the recruiting process and then still some lingering questions about (Hawkins`) future, that`s something that gets drilled into these kids` heads by other schools," Crabtree said. "I think that is something that has weighed heavily on this year`s recruiting class."
If that is true, Colorado could be in for another rough recruiting year in the 2011 cycle unless the Buffs turn things around on the field next fall against a tough schedule.
