Recruiting with a little more of my rant

Alright Hawkins you want to close down practices thats fine. I don't think you should because with the past couple of years with a horrible record you should have nothign to hide. Whether it is to "protect" his kid, or what the reason thats fine, but enough is enough. Excuses are done, this is the year. I understand that most of the other schools in the conference, hell even the country close their practices, thats also fine. But don't say too much information is leaking when I haven't seen one drop of info on this board or others that would lead me to think that way.

I have never been the biggest fan of Hawkins, but he has started to win me over with his recruiting in state over the last few years. But my question is why in the world does he take so long to recruit and get some of the top kids locked up. I know that its going to be a battle to get Kasa, Miller, Major etc and that can take a while but it seems like we don't get any recruits at all until the fall and close to NSD. We should be able to get guys like Parker Orms locked up before his sr yr. He has by far the best program in state(maybe not for long) and should be pulling kids to boulder. But Hawk wants to close his spring game like the big boys well go get recruits like the big boys.

We better see significant improvements in the offense if they have all these "special" plays that the public can't see. All I know is that I better not see what seemed to be 5 shotgun draws a game, or it will be time to turn the program over to someone who knows to run an offense

I want a North title, or get within a game of the North title, or Mr. Hawkins you can go close spring practice back in the WAC because our program needs to easily beat up on the University of JUCO (KSU), ISU not barely scrap by EWSU (or whatever they are), KSU, ISU, and not even be able to get to the Petro Bowl.

Time to put up or shut up Cody and co.

Sorry for my rant, I wasn't a fan of Hawkins to start and like the RR slogan is "Excuses are for losers" so no more excuses of he didn't have anything when he got here, now its his players and lets go win 9-10 games and all will be forgiven

I have to thank Jeff Bzdelik for the "excuses are for losers" quote

To answer the recruiting question, as long as Hawk gets it done, I don’t care when they sign…doesn’t matter to me. In fact, until the Buffs start winning 8,9,10 games, that is how recruiting will go. Like with everything, all of these complaints can be solved with one thing: winning. Winning will help recruiting and winning will help the fanbase. Simple as that. Everyone is frustrated about the last few years and this has definitely added fuel to the fire but if they win this year, no one is going to give a damn about closing practices.

Ya, but honestly I don't see this team winning 10, not even 9 right now

I think instead of teh spread we are going to get pounded through the running game until nuckols and kasa can get into that weight room. and now that we don’t a true legit QB prospect my day gets a little bit sadder
