Part 9/14:
A significant challenge identified by the analyst is recruiting, especially in the context of player interest and community engagement. Despite efforts to bring in talented prospects, some high-profile Colorado players like Jackson Roor have not received offers from CU—pointing to a disconnect in recruiter engagement and scouting priorities.
The transfer portal is viewed critically; the incoming players are perceived as "turds"—players who are disinterested or lack the commitment to perform at a high level. This has repercussions for the team's competitiveness and its perception in the recruiting landscape.
