The recruiting process: The staff impressed on us how important the home crowds at the games were and the energy from the crowd. The Air Force, Boise State and San Diego State game were significant in recruiting. Recruits were able to see big time college atmosphere during these games. This year they virtually were able to sign in every instance their top guy and did not have to go down the line to a 2nd to 4th choice. This is by far the most thorough class. We were able to win over several new Cowboys that had Pac12 offers. 2018 class will benefit from a very large Colorado prospect list.
The Bowl Game: 10 extra practices equivalent to a second spring practice season.
Most surprised commit: Victor Jones
Juco RB: No, but the extra scholarship could go to a transfer, possible transfer RB. The staff is most comfortable with Overstreet and Michael Green.
OLINE recruits: Athleticism, grades . They are very high on Patrick Arnold at center. Smart kid. Velasquez up to 290. Velasquez will at the end of the 4 year cycle will be the biggest surprise and recuit.
Quick Hitters: CJ Coldron-Pound for pound the most athletic; Avante Cox-2.0 Austin Conway; Valaday is 6'1" now; Rudy Stofer held to his commit even though he got a late P5 push
Last Year recruits and red shirts coming this year and standing out:
Line Backers: Jamari Moore and Adrian King
Running Back: Mike Green
Parker Dumas-Think Jake Mulhardt with Dumas--mismatch with his size
Kelln Overstreet: Ahead of schedule in his recovery-Probable starting RB
Fresno State and their last ditch effort with the local Sacramento kids: Just a few days before the commit day--Apparently they produced a video to show the Sac group and compare what you can do in Fresno and what you can do socially in Laramie. The commits were turned off by the effort and commented this is more of a reason they want to attend UW located in Laramie, Wyoming.
Trolling for poaching--The Calif schools with smaller recruiting budgets and they realize that Wyoming does a great job in evaluation.
HAPC: This is a game changer. Gave the analogy of the "rise" at CU with their new facility and what this is doing with Wyoming's upgrade in recruiting. Of course winning is the key. The construction is 9 days ahead of schedule. By September of this year the outside will look "finished" and as though it is open. After the last game of the 2017 season the interior will be finished and the transition work from the RAC to HAPC with total completion in July of 2018

Missing our skill guys? Receivers and Brian Hill: Sure they will be missed , but they really like CJ Johnson, James Price, Austin Conway and Okwoli--Josh Allen will be just fine with them and having Overstreet and Mike Green. Josh Allen is the constant and he is back!
Granderson: Recovery going very well and ahead of schedule.
Walk-Ons: 5 to 6 this year. They have a full squad with max numbers and walk on in numbers must fit with limits of squad size. This is a first that this limit has occurred and been reached. They like both of the Nebraska walk on.
Cowboys In Colorado: By far our biggest crowd ever. See you on June 3
