Bill Stewart spent a lot of time this week talking about how Josh Smith might be the best return man in the country, but we all neglected to recognize how great a recruiter he is.

I truly had no idea Darrell Scott ended up at Colorado because, well, to be honest, Scott was the nation’s top running back recruit last year and those players don’t often end up in Boulder, Colo. I also has no idea of the relationship between Smith and Scott. This is a compelling look at Scott’s decision, but this is the best and most telling part.

Conversation turned to Colorado. Scott mentioned that he had a two-year relationship with the team’s running backs coach, Darian Hagan. He also said his uncle, the rising sophomore wide receiver Josh Smith, played for the Buffaloes. This caused Scott’s mother to raise her eyebrows.

“I know, but it’s a big thing,” Scott said. “I mean, family comes first.”
