Class of 2021 QB Kaidon Salter (TX) Portal to Colorado

Is it weird that he and Colandrea are visiting on the same day? Seems like it would be a little awkward that you weren't the only QB being hosted

Keep him away from Coach Prime, which is supposed to be where he is visiting next week. Fran can go toe to toe with anyone but would prefer we lock him up now of course
No clue what our pecking order is for these qb’s or how many other teams Salter is interested in but if it was only us and Colorado and we were pushing for him I’d like our chances based solely on existing qb room.

Colorado flipped the stud qb from USC (JuJu) right before signing day with one of the most appealing aspects about Colorado being that he could immediately step in as a true frosh post Shedeur. Sure that’s easier said than done and why Colorado is trying to hedge and bring in an experienced guy to help with the transition but from Salter’s perspective it shouldn’t be as appealing if look at the whole picture. Yes there are big benefits in spotlight of playing for Prime and maybe putting up big numbers but he’ll constantly be looking over his shoulder at juju and fan base will be all in on juju the first time Salter struggles.

I see it as similar situation to McCord looking at Nebraska after Raiola committed and then choosing to look elsewhere.

Great post
 
Happened his freshman year at Tennessee. Anyone heard anything since regarding him at Liberty? Kids do dumb things as 17 and 18 yrs old. He’s now 22. No reason to hold the kid for something that happened 4 yrs ago with nothing in between.

This fan base gets one glimmer of something that one kid did back in the day and immediately writes him off. Just sad tbh.
Agreed. I was an All-State QB from Morristown NJ - played four years ran for 15 passed for 20 TDS my senior year. Learned all the mechanics developed into a decent QB was recruited by 7 major schools but they didn't have the major I wanted so I walked onto SU and could throw the ball as well as the scholie QB's - they eventually gave me a scholie I was fast 9.7 100 YD dash. First play they put me at receiver vs an AA DB from OHIO - burned him on a go route for a TD and the coach went crazy.

My point is that Salter, just watched his film again - has all the mechanics, over the top throws, thumb down, wrist snap, good hip rotation and I saw him throw one ball, all tight spirals, for 70 YDS. Much more mobile than Kyle who we all want back but he isn't coming. Salter is the best out there of all I see in the threads. We all want Kyle I know and we seem to be stuck. IMO Salter is, again, the best out there unless there's another QB better lying in the weeds who hasn't entered the portal yet which I doubt.

This, of course, was before Falwell's wife, um, straightened him up, and made a man out of him.
 
Who wudda thought we’d see the day where we’re embarrassed that football recruits were in the dome to witness a SU-Gtown game?

Ah c’mon.

It was a competitive, mostly entertaining game up until the last minute or 2.

Yeah, we looked like azz, couldn’t buy a rebound to save our lives, and couldn’t get a stop in the last five minutes.

It wasn’t like we got blown out or weren’t at all competitive.

And, we’re missing by far our best player currently.

Alright I will grant you that. What was the environment like at the dome? Crowd size?

We’re not. All of these kids are competitors and they’ve all lost games like this in their careers that they should have won. It happens. This wasn’t USF in the bowl game last year.
 
It would be sweet though to sometime in the near future match Frans high end recruiting visits with a packed dome for hoops. Just has a different feel for the players visiting to see a 34k fan hoops game though with new seating I don’t think that number would be possible anymore.
