Great! So how about doing the same thing but with offensive and defensive linemen? Heck, they got the top tackle in the nation with Seaton and then stopped. Why?
Wait, what?! Deion is still recruiting good players? How is that possible?!
Yeah. I know. 2027 is a llloooong way away. But the fact that talented kids are looking at CU, especially two years out, remains massive progress.
