There was an ESPN special a while back about former Colorado Coach Bill McCartney. He said if he ever got a recruit on campus, it was over. He said, “Who sees the mountains in Boulder and says, ‘I want to go to Lincoln, Nebraska or Norman, Oklahoma?’

Colorado under Coach Prime is a sleeping giant.

No.

That athletic department gets very little support and they have no local talent to fill gaps in recruiting or fall back on.

A sleeping giant is LSU pre-Saban, not Colorado pre-Deion. Prime will get done big names there but won’t be a great program manager and certainly won’t have Colorado as a giant.

this is a huge stretch. colorado just doesn't have a football mentality. their fan support, including monetary just doesn't compete with big programs. sure, Prime will probably upgrade the program but that's not saying much. if they start playing .500 ball it will be an upgrade.

But McCartney was a great HC/CEO.

We don’t know how good Sanders is. We will find out soon. If he can be an able CEO of the team, CU could be legit.

But that is a huge if!
