There is not a lot out there to report, for instance, still no word yet on the last two coaches for RBs and Special teams, but there are a few items of note...
Recruiting: MacIntyre
and staff have added their 4th new (5th counting greyshirt Gilliam) and CU's
16th total verbal commitment of the 2013 cycle. Kenneth Olugbode, a 2-star OLB
from San Jose, was one of the "secret" visitors this weekend (so was
Tim Coleman who committed over the weekend) and accepted an offer from the
coaches to whom he had previously committed at San Jose State. His
brother Kyle will be a senior safety at Stanford and Kenneth could end up
playing safety here as well. Another
two-star flip from SJSU? This is not
awe-inspiring news.
Michigan
DB Josh Jones, one of numerous DBs who visited Colorado the previous weekend of
the 18th, instead has committed to NC State while on his visit there this
weekend.
Although
he tweeted that “two other big-time universities tried to get into the picture”
DB
Chidobe Awuzie is waiting for an in-home visit from Mike Leach this week,
and then will make his final decision between his three original choices: the
Cougs, the Buffs and the hometown (doubtful) San Jose Spartans. A lot of people think he will be a Buff
(based on what I am not sure) and one helping factor may be that he is good friends
with Olugbode who just committed.
S
Tedric Thompson is down to Fresno State, CU and Minnesota, where he will visit this
last recruiting weekend and likely be hosted by his brother, although he has
never really acted that high on the Golden Gophers.
Still
no word on RB Michael Adkins, who was supposedly down to CU and Air Force, nor
on LB Lawrence Montegut, both of whom also visited Jan. 18.
Rifle’s
Ryan Moeller, a talented athlete who would likely start out at RB, is deciding
between being a preferred walk-on at CU or csu (this used to be an obvious,
easy choice for most), and is the only publicly acknowledged visitor (and that
may not even be for sure) for Jan. 25, the last recruiting weekend. Although, there could be a couple more like
Coleman and Olugbode.
CUattheGame
has a list of everyone left uncommitted who reportedly holds a CU offer, but
most of those have shown little or no recent interest in the Buffs and it is highly
doubtful that we hear a new name before signing day, although many are hopeful
there is some behind the scenes work going on.

Ralston
Valley OT Dan Skipper flipped his commitment from Tennessee and new coach Butch
Jones to Arkansas and Bret Bilema.
Other CU notes: TE Nick Kasa had one catch for 8 yards
at the Senior Bowl, where he was sporting the black CU helmet with the North
uniform.
Kevin
Gemmell of the ESPN Pac-12 Blog gave CU a much deserved D-minus for the season
but doesn’t really say anything new or insightful, highlighting the departed
Wil Pericak and frosh RBs Christian Powell and Donta Abron, as well as the loss
of Paul Richardson in the spring. He said of next season: “Don't expect six
wins and a bowl game in 2013, but hoping for three or four wins shouldn't be
too much to ask for.”
San Jose Mercury News did a piece on Mike MacIntyre. In the most anticipated news about his move, it was officially announced that Millie, the family Golden Retriever had successfully settled in. The Bohnhead’s only quote was…interesting: “"He has a warm, user-friendly, attractive appeal. He's real." What exactly is “user-friendly” in a head coach? http://www.mercurynews.com/sjsu-spartans/ci_22457432/mike-macintyre-discusses-leaving-san-jose-state
