More woes for Hawkins, CU

[frontrangeclone]

Just saw this over lunch in the Denver Post... looks like CU lost one of the bright spots in their 2010 class. Whats more alarming for the Buffs is they did not have one kid from Colorado's top 10 list committed. This QB recruit choosing Cincinnati over CU sure sums up the state of CU football. This once proud program that was a factor on the national scene throughout much of the '90s and was still winning division titles in the first half of the "aughts" is losing prized recruits to Cincy. Ouch. Good for ISU though!


Signing day: CU loses QB Legaux - The Denver Post

I love it. I detest CU more than Nebbie and Iowa.

Did anyone else see that kid's name was Mister Jones???

 

[garn91]

having a coach with not so good job security normally does that to a class.

Same here, but I hope Hawkins has a nice, long tenure there.

No kid is going to Colorado knowing the situation (lame duck coach), hate to bring Mac into this, but he reminds me of Talkins, I think his situation will affect recruiting in the future.

 

[dualthreat]

ouch. 2001 is a long time ago buffs. The future is not looking bright over there.

 

[cyhiphopp]

Ouch. Colorado doesn't even have any 4 stars signed at this point.

Another telling stat is that they only have two recruits from the state of Colorado and only one of the top 15 recruits from Colorado.

Double Ouch.

Talkins? HILARIOUS!!! I'll use that with CU fans I know. :biglaugh:

Good to hear! It will be nice to continue to pencil them in as a W, God knows we'll need it next season.

Man, who thinks of naming their son Mister? That is totally AWESOME.

Probably Dylan fans, or Counting Crows fans.

I think a lot of QBs would rather go to Cincy than CU right now. Who got more pub last year: Tony Pike and Zach Collaros or Cody Hawkins and Tyler Hansen?

I'm loving the slow rot of CU football. This is awesome.

i like it as well. I like when these guys have off the wall names. Have had plenty of discussions with friends about off the wall names.

Just wait until he has a kid someday and somebody calls him Mr. Jones, and he'll say don't call me Mr. Jones- Mister Jones was my father's name.

Even had he committed, many were concerned that he never would have gotten into CU.
Just the same, it seems to me that CU needs to figure out how to coach the kids they have. CU's track record the last 10 years with their best recruits isn't very good.

 

[WalkingCY]

Ahhh, too bad CU.

Woo!

So what you're saying is you're going to name a kid KnowThrilla?

 

[Clonegrad07]

How did Hawkins keep that job!?!

 

[intrepid27]

As far as I'm concerned CU fans deserve Hawkins. He is arrogant just like most of them are.
