BOULDER — Every recruiting class for every head coach is special. Every class means a group of young men who have decided to cast their lot with that head coach and his staff, a decision that will have a tremendous impact not only on their ensuing four years, but for the rest of their lives.
But Friday night, when the Colorado Buffaloes open their season versus Colorado State at Mile High Stadium, there will be a group of seniors who will represent Mike MacIntyre's first recruiting class in Boulder — and that group, MacIntyre admits, will always have a special place in his heart.
