Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 4640168, member: 4613"] You could probably just say Deion wants to bring in his own recruits and because he is prime time, he will be able to bring in better, more talented players, and leave it at that. And yeah, talent really is a big deal. See Jordan Hawkins, Kemba Walker, Ray Allen, Rip...I think saying kids who have played football most of their lives and managed to get recruited to play at Colorado don't have the mental toughness to succeed is a bit of a stretch. Sure, based on Colorado's record maybe they aren't the best of the best at playing football. And no, it's not the same characteristics. Elite military soldiers are an extremely rare breed. College football players, come on. and btw, I think the student athletes should 100% come first. A new coach should accept the job and be committed to working with the kids who first committed to the university. That's the way it should be, in my opinion, right or wrong. Even Colonel Jessup felt an obligation to train the young men rather than transfer the whole Windward Division off the base. [/QUOTE]
