BOULDER — New Colorado football coach Mel Tucker is no stranger to starting late and finishing strong in the recruiting cycle.
Tucker will sign his first class at Colorado on Wednesday — just two weeks to the day after taking the job as Colorado's 26th head coach. By all accounts, it will be a class that will add depth and talent to the Buffs' roster, as well as address some immediate needs.
He's been there before.
"I think the process has gone fairly smoothly," said Tucker, who has also spent the last two weeks building his coaching and administrative staffs, along with addressing the hundreds of other details involved with taking over a program.
