Congrats
to former Buff and Super Bowl Champion Jimmy Smith!
CU 2013 Recruiting Class- Here a few last notes before signing day
tomorrow:
Adam
M. from Rivals talked to six of the 17 verbals on the Buffalo Stampede Radio
show (also podcasted on itunes).
Denver
South RB Philip Lindsay is definitely pumped to be a Buffalo and plans on
signing his letter-of-intent and faxing it in at 7:01.
RB Michael Adkins (San Diego area), who chose
CU over Air Force, Yale and Harvard, actually decided earlier than it was
announced. He had been expected to
announce his decision right after his visit but he only told coaches. Both RBs talked about Adrian Peterson as a
model.
WR
Bryce Bobo (CA) has already formed a strong bond with new WR Troy Walters; the receiver
has huge hands as he can barely find gloves that fit!
WR
Eljiah Dunston is good friends with and helped convince WR Devin Ross to come
to Boulder after the pair visited Fresno St. together. Dunston also runs track and considers his
speed his greatest asset with a 10.9 100m, a 4.49 40m (“not really that fast”
in his words), specializing in the 400m with a 47 flat. He liked the overall upbeat attitude to work
really hard by most of the the players he met.
OT
Jonathon Huckins loved the first view of Boulder coming over the hill on US 36
and it made a big impression on him. He will be coming with friend, teammate
and fellow offensive linemen OG Sam Kronshrage.
Mullen
DE Timothy Coleman originally only visited CU to have something to compare his
visit to csu and instead he came away impressed and flipped his commitement, saying
everything was just “overall better” in Boulder, especially the atmosphere
around campus.
Adam
put the chances of DB Chidobe Awuzie becoming a Buff at 75% over a Spartan or
Cougar. He is not nearly as confident in
Tedric Thompson. They will both
officially announce their decision (although Awuzie has supposedly already
notified coaches) sometime Wednesday.
Adam
said that two-star Ath. Ryan Severson from San Jose is the most under-rated
player on the commit list, a very fast, versatile prospect, and whether he
plays RB or LB or S or special teams, he will make an impact immediately.
Adam,
Wil Whelan and a caller discussed how many scholarships are “available” and
settled on the descriptor “fluid” as it is up in the air. If they get someone to commit they will find
a way, and they don’t officially have to until August practices start.
John
Henderson did a decent piece on the class: http://www.denverpost.com/cu/ci_22519424/cu-buffs-fill-gaps-recruiting-class-that-has
There
have been no rumors of academic concerns, but we won’t know for sure until
August practices start.
I
guess there were quite a few walk-on candidates who visited in the last weeks
and MacIntyre will have a strong walk-on program, with more bodies on the team
than we have seen the last few coaches.
Check
in with Stuart at http://www.cuatthegame.com/
all day Wednesday for updates-he takes the day off so we don’t have to!
Go
Buffs!
I'm impressed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that's both equally educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you have hit the
ReplyDeletenail on the head. The problem is an issue that too few people are speaking
intelligently about. I am very happy I came across this during my hunt
for something regarding this.
