It was possible.
But Tilman had to be willing to pay Dana $20m to walk away.
Okay all I can say is, wow. He now has the 29th recruiting class in 247 and 19th overall (recruits + transfers).
It looks like Colorado may be a threat in the Pac-12 this season.

Prime doesnāt fit the UH vision. Prime is a great recruiter, and heās in his own lane in that he canāt really be compared to anyone else. That being said, we donāt know how itās going to fare out yet.
Colorado hired Prime because theyāre desperate for athletic relevancy, and they most likely are gunning for that B1G invite. If you think prime is looking to get a statue on campus, youāre wrong. Heās out of there should he win 1 or 2 championships. Heāll either be in the Power 2, or heāll be an NFL coach.
UH is looking for continuity. They arenāt looking for a coach that will have recruited one great class, have 1 or 2 good seasons, and then bounce to another school along with said recruits.
Correct! Thatās why CDH is here.

By no means am I saying CDH is the answerā¦ but weāll have to wait and see how things go in the Big 12.
CDH first two years i cut him slack. 2021 was a good year despite the āeasyā schedule, and the 2022 season was just a complete WTF season.

Prime fits the UH vision considerably more than CDH.

Primeās kid spend a lot of time in Houston - trust me it would work
That DB problem we have? Wouldāve been solved if we had Prime. Dude only got the number 1 CB in last year AND this years class. Lol! Oh well, Dana is recruiting better than I thought he would. We still need to upgrade our beef on the lines but I think we will get Big 12 competititve relatively soon on skill positions.

Prime has done fine up to this point because he could recruit good talent to a talent-poor conference.
Maybe I shouldnāt say, ābecause.ā I donāt know that that was the only reason he was successful.
What I feel confident about is heās about to step-up big time in professional competition. The coordinators heās going to go up against are steamrollers. They donāt care about flash. It will be a test. I wish him well. I actually think his time under Bowden will serve him as well as his head coaching experience. Heās going to have to draw off his experience in that excellent program to see how a big program is run the right way.
Prime has the luxury of not having to hire great recruiters for every position group. Heās the closer. His assistants can coach.

I think it takes more than game day execution. Its how you steer the ship. Saban has a methodical approach to meetings and everyone is in lockstep. I know thatās an extreme example. But running a flagship takes planning and organization. These are the things heāll be tested on.

Your list leaves out most of Colorados top transfers
Included only the OL. This is where he will win and lose games.
