BOULDER — It didn't take long for new Colorado coach Mel Tucker to put his stamp on his first recruiting class with the Buffs.
Tucker welcomed the signing of 17 players on Wednesday, the first day recruits could put their names on national letters of intent in the early signing period. The group includes 12 high school players, four junior college transfers and one graduate transfer, representing eight states, one U.S. territory and one European country (Austria).
But much more telling than the geographical representation is the position breakdown: the latest CU recruiting class includes eight linemen — four offensive and four defensive — with the majority of them at or near the 300-pound mark.
