College Note - Colorado Cormani McClain
Getting two of the best young cornerbacks in the country to come to Boulder was the first step. Now, the Colorado coaches have to get them ready to play. "Those guys are young and they've got a lot of technique work that they need to work on, but that's what I'm here for," CU cornerbacks coach Kevin Mathis said during a press conference last week. "Those guys" could include the Buffaloes' entire cornerback group in general, but more specifically, it will be Travis Hunter and Cormani McClain in the spotl ight. Hunter was rated the No. 1 prospect in the nation for the class of 2022 before signing with Jackson State to play for head coach Deion Sanders and Mathis. After a year at JSU, Hunter is now at CU after Sanders took over as the Buffaloes' head coach in December. McClain is ranked as the No. 1 cornerback in the class of 2023 and had been committed to Miami before Sanders took the job at CU. He flipped to the Buffs last month and will arrive in Boulder this summer. A lot of football coaches tal k about building a defense from the inside (defensive line and linebackers) out. But, not at CU. "We're probably the only place in America that's gonna start from the outside-in with our corners, because that's who (Sanders) is, that's what we want to bu ild our brand on," Mathis said. "We want to make sure our guys on the outside are locked down and we've got two good ones. "Now, they need work and they're going to get work, but we've got two good ones on the outside that's gonna allow us do what we nee d to do on the inside of the defense to make plays." - Daily CameraOther Recent Stories
