FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Steve Fairchild this afternoon is announcing his second recruiting class as Colorado State head coach...The class includes 20 true freshmen and one junior-college player...Several players have already enrolled and will begin practicing with the Rams in March.
A step in the right direction
The Rams are building strong momentum and kinetic energy coming out of Steve Fairchild's first season as head coach. The team finished the most successful campaign in school history for a squad with a first-year coach, and ended with a resounding exclamation point -- CSU's first bowl win since `01 and first winning season since '03.
Now, the Rams have taken another strong step forward with what many are already calling a solid 2009 recruiting class. More
