"Just the way they are rebuilding," Stuart responded. "After that win against Utah, all of Colorado's juniors and their underclassmen were getting together and they are motivated to do well next year. And their coaching staff is one of the best. I just feel like I could fit in there really well.

"I feel Justin and I can both go there with a winning mentality and help them build a winning tradition. We know how to win and we just want to spread that around Colorado so our program will be successful."

How many D-1 prospects does Westlake usually put out?

Would be nice to get a nice little pipeline going there…

Not sure but it looks like the coaching staff is applying the same pipeline strategy to Upland HS

In CA. They are currently targeting 3 plaeyers from that team.

a couple/ three

But more program depth than eye popping athletes like, say, Serra. Westlake is a strong program, but not super elite. They happen to have an outstanding team this year. The nice thing (offensively) is that they sport an offense similar to what we want to run.
Personally, I liked Stuart more than I liked Solis when I saw them this year. Solis needs to re-appropriate his weight. He was more impressive last year when he was lighter. Has the making of a solid 3/4 end. Stuart is a 4/3 end with an endless motor, but he needs to add weight to be a 3/4 end, and not quick enough to be an OLB.

Westlake plays Oaks Christian on Friday.

Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.
