From a NewsObserver article in July:
"I always think classes should be ranked two years after the fact," [Redacted] said. "
I remember getting an email from a Colorado alum ([Redacted] previously coached the Buffaloes) who jumped all over me for signing Alec Burks. He said he was a three-star guy and we needed better players. A year later, the guy has season tickets on the floor and he's upset Burks is leaving early (he was the 12th pick in the NBA Draft last month)."

I would really, really like to see that email Bz...
Alec Burks was the highest rated guard you signed in 3 classes by over 60 (position ranking) spots & was probably about 200 spots ahead of anybody that signed with CU in the years leading up to your hire (the best I can find is Corey Higgins who was ESPN's #107 SG, where as Burks was the #40 PG).
