This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

...the info on 247 and On3 regarding Colorado. They have a list of their recruiting class (I think it was 16), but I know those jumping into the portal is incomplete. Like I said, both sites were incomplete. As to point 1, I completely agree but my post was far too long as it was and wanted to give a few specific examples. Some schools had some serious overhauls in their rosters. I am not sure how you manage such chaos. How do you get a team to gel with a whole new roster every year? I do feel bad for the Group of 5 schools. They will get their best players poached every year. On the flip side, they may be able to get some decent players "left over" in the portal when the power 5 teams are done. I will post more on "roster pruning" later. Hint - while there may be circumstances justifying it, I'm not for it.
