It’s really an interesting case study what will come out of this. Going scorched earth on the current roster just seems like a very, very poor approach. Their classes weren’t great, but the 2020 class was ranked #36. Next two classes were mid 50s composite. It’s not like they were completely bereft of talent.
As we know, coaching & development is a huge factor and a big reason that we’ve sucked the last 20 years. CU Coach (can’t lend credence to the moniker by calling him anything other than CU Coach) is sending the message that it was a talent problem alone.
He’s also putting himself in a really dicey spot. He has given everyone recruiting against him all the ammo in the world to recruit with against him. It’s not like he is the only game in town - Riley, Smart, Saban, Dabo, etc have better proven track records at better schools. He’s put himself in an unnecessary position of absolutely needing to be successful with this strategy in year one or else he’s totally fucked on the recruiting trail. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
