As I was reading and dissecting Bill Connely’s 2018 Colorado Buffaloes preview, plenty of stats stood out to me. Enough that I wrote an article just breaking down his preview. But I want to put a spotlight on one particular stat that is thrown into his big table that he puts in at the end: the 2 year and 5 year recruiting ranking. The 2 year recruiting ranking is a respectable 43rd, which includes the 2017 and 2018 class. The 5 year recruiting ranking is an unspectacular 57th. This does not include the fact that the 2014 class had over half of its members leave CU football before their eligibility was completed.
The Colorado Buffaloes need to bet on talent
