BOULDER — When it comes to selecting a starting quarterback, the Colorado Buffaloes' coaching staff appears to be following the wisdom of UCLA basketball coaching legend John Wooden:
"Be quick but don't hurry."
The Buffs must indeed be quick in the process. They have only a few weeks to make a choice that usually involves spring practice, summer drills and study sessions, and a fall camp.
But neither can they hurry the process. Despite not having been afforded the luxury of roughly six months of evaluation, CU head coach Karl Dorrell and quarterbacks coach Danny Langsdorf must do their best to make sure they have the right guy, which means jamming months of careful and close evaluation into a couple of weeks.
