BOULDER — Mel Tucker showcased brutal honesty Wednesday when asked how the Colorado Buffaloes currently fit in the landscape of college football recruiting among the top high school prospects in the state and across the nation.
“We have to show progress on the field,” Tucker said. “We’re going to do that, and it’s up to us to put our best foot forward and sell our program to the point where they want to come here. … As they have grown up, they haven’t seen CU winning. They haven’t seen them going to bowl games. If you look at it from their perspective, why would you want to go (here)?
