Howell: Some of Mel Tucker’s biggest recruiting wins this winter have come from within

With a class that ranks among the top 40 in the country, the Colorado football program is generating a good measure of excitement from its fan base on the recruiting trail.

Beating Pac-12 opponents and other Power 5 programs for Caleb Fauria, Christian Gonzalez, Jason Harris, Brenden Rice, Jake Wray and others has made this a good recruiting cycle for head coach Mel Tucker and his staff.

“Recruiting is the lifeblood of your organization,” Tucker said this week, repeating what many coaches around the country have said in the past, while adding that recruiting is a daily task of his staff.
