As recruiting season winds down, I am left ...
  • Optimistic. CU signed a solid recruiting Class, and it sounds as if fundraising is going well (55%, 161 Votes)
  • Numb. I've heard all of the plaudits before ... Someone wake me when CU starts winning again ... (34%, 98 Votes)
  • Pessimistic. Hawkins and Embree signed top 35 Classes in Year Two; this year's Class isn't even in the Top 60 (11%, 32 Votes)

The loss of RB recruit Kalen Ballage to Arizona State ...
  • Means very little. He was never a CU commit, and never favored the Buffs (44%, 129 Votes)
  • Hurts the Buffs. Losing both Dotson and Ballage - and to Pac-12 rivals - really puts a damper on this Class (37%, 108 Votes)
  • Will only matter once a year ... when the CU defense gets a crack at stopping Ballage on gamedays (19%, 53 Votes)

My grade for the CU Class of 2014
  • B ... Several very good players, but some reaches as well (38%, 136 Votes)
  • C ... Not much different than what we've seen the past few years (34%, 121 Votes)
  • Incomplete - Ask me after we know about Ballage (13%, 47 Votes)
  • D ... Can't be at or near the bottom of the Pac-12 and expect a higher grade (9%, 31 Votes)
  • A ... Needs filled; quality players and individuals throughout the Class (6%, 25 Votes)

My take on CU signing three-star prospect Jay MacIntyre ...
  • It's good news. Jay is a good athlete, a welcome addition at either WR or DB (66%, 213 Votes)
  • It's irrelevant. The grade for this Class hinges on signing Ballage (24%, 76 Votes)
  • It's bad news. Wasn't there anyone at Dal Ward who could have warned Coach Mac of the perils of signing your son? (10%, 34 Votes)

  1. The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!

  2. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  3. Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
