A few more moves before signing day

• The Buffs have 22 total recruits (including greyshirts and JC) still after losing one and immediately filling the spot (see next note).  I wonder how many big names they are actually still holding scholarships for and waiting on, besides Falcon RB Kallen Ballage, who is considered a "soft" commit for ASU and recently visited Boulder.  It is possible they also still have one for CB Courtland Sutton who they have been recruiting hard for a long time.  If those two go elsewhere, which is not only possible but probable, I believe they have someone waiting in the wings for each who will take the CU slot if offered at last minute.  Coach's son Jay MacIntyre could be one of those kids and they probably have another RB in mind if they don't end up with Ballage or Dotson (who they are still working on after he flipped to Washington).
• Houston OT Elijah Rodriguez had committed and stayed true to the Buffs when schools like LSU and Florida St came calling; however, when dream school Texas offered a chance to hook 'em he jumped.  Not to worry though as the Buffs had csu commit 305-pound OL Sully Wiefels (Eagle, Idaho and American River CC), who was actually rated higher (but watch Rodriguez's stock suddenly rise now), ready to jump ship and come to the real program in the state.  He could conceivably contribute right away but has three years to play two.
• WR Shay Fields committed shortly after my last post and is the biggest Buff recruit since Paul Richardson and will get his chance to play right away.  This is a huge get for the Buffs as the kid has talent, speed and moxie, so I am excited to see him play this Fall.
• Brian Lindgren did add one more QB to his roster to toss passes in the spring, keep the reps high for everyone, but not so high for Sefo and Gehrke.  Trent Sessions was an equipment manager last season but played QB from Pop Warner through high school and approached coaches for chance to walk-on and throw. I still wouldn't be surprised to see one more arm besides recruit Cade Aspay to join team in the fall.
• Signing Day is Wednesday.  I hope there is at least one more fun surprise.  Check out CUBuffs.com and CUattheGame.com throughout the day for updates and/or follow me on twitter @unicodavidsmith as I will retweet the LOIs as they are faxed in.  I will recap the class over the weekend.
