Colorado head football coach Mike MacIntyre spent a lot of time in January watching high school basketball as he got a jump on his 2019 recruiting class.
While the basketball court may not seem like the place to find football stars, MacIntyre has always been drawn to multi-sport athletes as he builds a football team, and that was no different as he and the CU staff put together their 2018 recruiting class.
The majority of CU's 23 new recruits were multi-sport athletes in high school, with many of them playing basketball and/or participating in track and field.
