another one coming in
I’m saying Kough. again
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Henington
Jon Woods - February 1, 2012
and also to note, again-
if you’re a season ticket holder, Buff Club member, or otherwise booster- you can now contact the signees, per NCAA rules. Previously, you were committing an NCAA violation.
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Which is why I don't purchase season tickets.
Jon Woods - February 1, 2012
I KNOW
but others need to recognize that fact
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Haha
Jon Woods - February 1, 2012
Didn't someone say they had a list of new and existing Buff Twitter accts?
BuffnBigD - February 1, 2012
I asked that Woods (and Bell, I suppose) to generate one
but it hardly matters. You can follow them, just can’t contact them. It’s a stupid, unenforceable rule that will change, and nothing will happen if you violate it, but it exists.
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
No, but I said I would put one together.
I only have a personal one that I use
Jon Woods - February 1, 2012
Does that rule really get enforced?
That rule is asinine and I am a regular offender
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
no, but I adhere to it
It is a rule that dates to before the current social media era. It will change. but it is still there
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Didn't know about it but now I do
“The more you know”
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
Henington signs
interesting that Mullen didn’t hold a signing ceremony. They ALWAYS hold a signing ceremony. Maybe Miles isn’t as solid to UW as I thought.
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
also might say something about the turmoil there
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
i was also curious as to why they weren’t having one especially with some high profile guys
waterboy31321 - February 1, 2012
Rumors are Miles might be looking at USC...
BigXIITDOG - February 1, 2012
I know
I still see him going to UW
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Kough
So if we get kough, the only other potential signee would be Seth Jacobs later today?
buffs15 - February 1, 2012 via mobile
Seth Jacobs is no longer an option
he’s choosing among ARK, OSU, and Ucla. I have said all along that he chooses Oklahoma State
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
yes, no LOI from McCartney today.
Roaring Fork Buff - February 1, 2012
source?
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
holy shit
Stanford just copped Andrus Peat. We’re going to need to line up all nine of our DL recruits to match up with their OL class
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
I like that Nebraska lost that recruiting battle
not so happy we have to face the kid.
clbuff28 - February 1, 2012
Hate that Stanford's o-line is going to be insane.
But love that they took him from Nebraska.
Jon Woods - February 1, 2012
that Stanford OL class is incredible
I think they’ll get Kyle Murphy, but now it matters less.
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Going in I thought UCLA would be the center of attention
Has to be Stanford no with their class
clbuff28 - February 1, 2012
Is that the definition of bittersweet?
Nebraska loses out but we will be facing that monstrous line.
Queso Mal - February 1, 2012
this is the definition of "oh holy crap these fat bastards are running at us"
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
your new Buffs from Upland, CA
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
their signs say "Colorado University"
gotta tell their athletic department what’s what
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Powell looks mean
I like it.
clbuff28 - February 1, 2012
Powell does not exactly look pumped
waterboy31321 - February 1, 2012
Maybe he was fighting with his parents all night
His mom wanted him at UCLA bad
BigXIITDOG - February 1, 2012
not worried
except we need to get them better hats
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
my thoughts as well, they have the look of a 50 year olds CU hat
waterboy31321 - February 1, 2012
my first thought was that they look like Baylor hats
so yeah, 50 years old
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
are those bootleg hats?
I’ve never seen a CU logo like that
nebraskasux - February 1, 2012
I know, right?
I think they got them from a folding table in downtown LA.
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Colorado got the players they need
To run a ball control offense and a 3-4 defense that mans up on the corners.
3nS - February 1, 2012
4-3 defense...
huckthefuskers - February 1, 2012
not sure if it really matters anymore with as many spread offenses as there are now…tons of dime and nickel looks
waterboy31321 - February 1, 2012
I don't know what people have hated on Klatt. Dude is awesome
Same goes for Kreckman. I loved it when they were on the same show with Altitude.
huckthefuskers - February 1, 2012
Ash's chart thingys
Is Ash going to put together an analysis of all the recruiting classes from the PAC 12 using his chart thingy methodology?
Buff-in-CA - February 1, 2012
I hope not
it won’t look good for us
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Will look better than the past few years...
Buff-in-CA - February 1, 2012
I don't think so
the Pac 12 destroyed this year
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Agreed
I meant comparing us against ourselves.
Buff-in-CA - February 1, 2012
Hey sure is
Already have it scheduled.
I was looking back through some archived traffic numbers a couple of weeks ago and I found out last years post he did was one of our top 5 more read posts ever.
Jon Woods - February 1, 2012
I'm going to kill those numbers with a fan post
it will be entirely about Tebow
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
I plan to...
And yes, I’m dreading how it’ll look for us just numerically.
Funny thing is a guy did a similar comparison at the main SBNation for college recruiting on a national scale
Ash Jackson - February 1, 2012
that's not funny
FIGHT HIM WITH PUNCHES
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Shrug...
there were no graphics, and so it was just numbers on a page.
It was less intensive data-wise and without graphics it was mostly opaque.
Doesn’t threat what we do; It was more amusing than anything
Ash Jackson - February 1, 2012
FIGHT HIM WITH PUNCHES
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
now Kough, right? RIGHT?!
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Derek McCartney signed
so who will be the nonqualifier?
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
actually, we'd need a nonqualifier regardless
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
wait....
What?
Denny Majewski - February 1, 2012 via mobile
LATE INTREST FROM CYLER MILES FOR CU
Jimmy Wood
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
Jimmy Wood is with Mile High Sports
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
no way this happens
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
That would be awesome
Broncoman - February 1, 2012
Coffee is for Closers!!!
Let’s go Embree. Make this happen!
Buff-in-CA - February 1, 2012
Long shot for sure
Wood is now saying Miles might not commit today which would be a good sign
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
Dillon was told we would only take 1 QB this year
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
I'm with you no way this happens
BigXIITDOG - February 1, 2012
I with you with him
BuffulanceMan - February 1, 2012
Perhaps this is the "surprise" JE was talking about?
Sorry Connor and Shane, but a QB competition is a good thing! Hope he signs!
clutch2999 - February 1, 2012
Agreed
One competition is key, also good to keep the top instate propsect here in Colorado
Broncoman - February 1, 2012
I agree competition is healthy
I don’t like Embree going back on his work about only taking one QB this year. I am sure that is a big reason why Shane commited so early.
lakebuff - February 1, 2012
see above
If Embree takes another QB, it looks horrible to everyone Dillon knows. Friends, QB coach, HS coach, et cetera
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
who cares its Cyler Miles and hes the best in state recruit, it looks good to th entire state of Co High School preps
waterboy31321 - February 1, 2012
well, everyone that is connected to Dillon likely cares
Which is most of the San Diego area. For some reason, we’re already losing ground with Chapparel and Vista Murrieta. San Diego is a strong recruiting ground
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
its a moot point, no way in hell he comes to CU, but I don’t see how your suppose to pass up your top in state recruit, just because he plays the ssame position as another kid and u told the kid he would be the only qb in this class.
waterboy31321 - February 1, 2012
I think you stick to your promises
If you promise a kid a scholarship- that scholarship should be there for him. If you recruit a kid by telling him that he will be the only QB in the class- you abide by that. That’s just me.
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
i agree…i just don’t want to
waterboy31321 - February 1, 2012
admittedly, it's a bit of a naive position
and recruiting is a cutthroat game. I just don’t like it.
Especially at QB, which is the most common position for transfer.
(not naive, really. I just don’t have a better word for it)
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
He's probably using Ringo's ridiculous tweet as his "source"
Jon Woods - February 1, 2012
you cant be serious
waterboy31321 - February 1, 2012
woulda been better
if you said “surely you’re not serious.”
BuffulanceMan - February 1, 2012
Don't call him Surely.
BuffnBigD - February 1, 2012
A high proportion of Mullen recruits in recent years appear to be dysfunctional
in their ability to select the proper University for themselves.
BuffulanceMan - February 1, 2012
that's not recent
Frankly, Mullen guys don’t produce at the level they are recruited. Nolan Brewster, Clint Brewster, Bryce Givens… go back to Ryan Clement and Emmett Mosley. Devin Aguilar is the best recent Mullen recruit. He went to… Washington.
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Well it's difficult for those guys...
To go through the recruiting process, again.
Too soon?
clutch2999 - February 1, 2012
shut it, you (smileymoticon)
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
I'm glad someone got it.
clutch2999 - February 1, 2012
Nice
Broncoman - February 1, 2012
Well they can always transfer to Valor and get another shot at the process
Broncoman - February 1, 2012
I wonder if Logan getting canned at Mullen had anything to do with Miles pulling out of UW
Broncoman - February 1, 2012
Anyone have numbers/stats/profile on McCartney?
Denny Majewski - February 1, 2012 via mobile
6'4" 220 lbs
son of former Buff Shannon Clavelle and former, um… “friend” of Buffs Kristy McCartney. 2A all state for 3 years, I think
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
ranked by any of the recruiting sites?
Denny Majewski - February 1, 2012 via mobile
nope
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Did you just rank Kristy MacCartney a 2A all stater?
I think several of our former players would vehemently argue that she should be well above the 2A level… (looks outside window expecting to be hit by bolt of lightning).
Buff-in-CA - February 1, 2012
+several
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
rec'd
sorry if it makes the lightning find you faster
Ash Jackson - February 1, 2012
Kyle Ringo latest tweet
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
Its gotta be Kough
BigXIITDOG - February 1, 2012
it will be. Signing at 3 PM
sad that we’re talking this much about a 2 star OG who’s been committed for months
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Ringo obviously isn't referring to Kough.
Either he knows something, or he’s an idiot
Jon Woods - February 1, 2012
Idiot is rather harsh
Kind of stringing people along.
Jon Woods - February 1, 2012
Minus some major craftyness/shadyness we have to be done
BigXIITDOG - February 1, 2012
I don't think that's an either/ or. We all know what Ringo is
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Can we refer to any surprise (if it happens) as "Koughgate"?
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
I'm in.
BigXIITDOG - February 1, 2012
no. He's a 2 star OG with an offer from us and Army
and he’s signing at 3 (2 local time)
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Which makes the whole thing awesome
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
Could get interesting
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
Seth Jacobs Tweets Pic of 3 hats
OSU, Arkansas,…. & CU
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
Just have to think...
That even with a full class the coaches would find room for him if he wanted the spot.
WasianCU - February 1, 2012
as long as no one told any of the other LBs that we'd only sign so many
apparently.
clutch2999 - February 1, 2012
we don't have any other linebackers
surprised that CU is an option. Still see him to OSU
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Oh good
Then we don’t have to worry about hurting any other similar position player’s feelings if we miraculously get him
clutch2999 - February 1, 2012
/sarcasm
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
look, I don't care about hurting players' feelings
I DO care about keeping your word.
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
lolz
BigXIITDOG - February 1, 2012
Seth Jacobs
Just tweeted a picture of only 3 hats. OKST, ARK, CU….. No quite dead yet.
BuffnBigD - February 1, 2012
link?
RMoysters33 - February 1, 2012
it's all over twitter
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
thought all the links were broken
i couldn’t pull it up. just turns out my computer sucks
RMoysters33 - February 1, 2012
http://twitter.com/S_Jacobsville10/status/164797141926154242/photo/1
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
all the recruits are rocking the old school early 90s looking hats today
not a fan
nebraskasux - February 1, 2012
that hat is ugly as hell
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
I think it would look awesome if Jacobs is wearing it in a few hours
Broncoman - February 1, 2012
i kinda like it, as long as the don’t have the hole snaps sizing thing on the back
waterboy31321 - February 1, 2012
oh man, i don't
look at the front picture on ESPN.com right now. The FSU and Mizzou guy have the exact same hats as Jacobs’ three. Along with the straight brim it gives me bad junior high flashbacks.
Obviously I’m just not hip to the new styles…
nebraskasux - February 1, 2012
I'm with you on the straight brim
Thought those fell out of style along with Z Cavaricci jeans and parachute pants
highlandsbuff - February 1, 2012
are you saying my Cross Colours shirts aren't cool any more?
ARE YOU?!?
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
no, Cross Colours and Body Glove shirts are still cool
highlandsbuff - February 1, 2012
thank you
Cross Colours was my jam. You could only get that shit at Chess King at the Westminster Mall. Don’t get me started on some Hypercolor
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Hypercolor was the thing to have when I was in high school
They’re tearing down the Westminster Mall and replacing it with something 29th Street-ish. I’m afraid the Chess King is going to fall victim to the wrecking ball (if it hasn’t already).
highlandsbuff - February 1, 2012
oh, Chess King is long gone
You must be about my age (33)
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
couple of years older, but yeah - same gen
guess the wrecking ball of time got to them first
highlandsbuff - February 1, 2012
I had one pair of Z Cavaricci's, because I was poor
White pants that I sported with a white IOU sweatshirt. Ugh.
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Since we probably won't get him
I just hope the CU hat is newer than the ones at Upland CA
clutch2999 - February 1, 2012
if you do the hat thing, you have to have at least 3 hats
waterboy31321 - February 1, 2012
Have we heard anything about Solomon or Simmons?
We are “out of spots” but judging by all these random rumors I guess we have to look at all options
BigXIITDOG - February 1, 2012
NEW SIGNEE:
FW Carly Manso #soccer
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
NICE! Been waiting for that one!
I hear she’s really good a kicking a soccer ball!
nebraskasux - February 1, 2012
WAS SHE A 5 STAR?!?!?!
BigXIITDOG - February 1, 2012
ACTUALLY YES!
(as long as you have no follow up questions)
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Nice. haha
BigXIITDOG - February 1, 2012
Did we flip her?
BuffnBigD - February 1, 2012
um, I have a terrible joke
but she’s still in high school, so I’ll refrain
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Rocky Mountain Showdown moved to SUNDAY!
cubuffs tweets. Kickoff time: TBA
clutch2999 - February 1, 2012
not really good news imo
just means we couldn’t get anyone to pick it up for TV on saturday
nebraskasux - February 1, 2012
Plus it means we have to wait 1 more day until the start of college football
clutch2999 - February 1, 2012
September 2nd
At least there’s no NFL to compete with.
clutch2999 - February 1, 2012
Meh
Talk to me when we get rid of that horrible “rivalry.” CU gains nothing from playing them every year imo. Its CSU’s Super Bowl.
BigXIITDOG - February 1, 2012
This.
BuffnBigD - February 1, 2012
Couldn't agree more
waterboy31321 - February 1, 2012
USC pushing late for Cyler Miles, announcing at 2
So we’d have to play him every year, instead of 2 or 3 times.
clutch2999 - February 1, 2012
I am not sure Miles would fit USC offense
Seems like it is Lane Kiffin trying to screw UW
Broncoman - February 1, 2012
they have room for him?
I saw something earlier about Kiffin lamenting that they’d had to let guys go “to the competition” due to space limitations
highlandsbuff - February 1, 2012
That too
Kiffin is a bastard, hopefully Miles understands the only reason Kiffin is doing this is to screw UW, hopefully he sees through and stays home.
Broncoman - February 1, 2012
I think they have 2 more spots
their problem is fitting them all into 75 scholarships overall. That’s why they’ve had so many transfers. Expect more. San Diego State is the biggest benefactor of the USC sanctions
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
we won't have to play him every year
They’ve got 2 blue chips in front of him. We likely wouldn’t have to play him ever. Maybe 1 year.
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Probably will try to turn him into a safety, if they actually have a scholarship available
Broncoman - February 1, 2012
Just for fun
Highest traffic’d days on The Ralphie Report:
So far today – 3,600. I’m glad that Hawkins being fired isn’t #1
Jon Woods - February 1, 2012
hmm, less than half than last year?
figures I guess, no drama at all today
nebraskasux - February 1, 2012
and last year Embree was new
I think we had 3, maybe 4 threads for signing day.
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
definitely a low drama day
which is nice, but sorta takes some of the fun out as well
highlandsbuff - February 1, 2012
It'll top last year. Its only 2
Jon Woods - February 1, 2012
Phil posts something about Tebow: INFINITY VISITORS
“What if Tebow went to CU” LET’S SEE, SHALL WE?
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
If CM or SJ dont sign a LOI
it might be the first time to my knowledge where the bball team has as many 4 stars as the fball team.
props to Tad. (not a knock on embree though….just saying)

speaking of Tad...
Big congrats to him and Lappe on the contract extensions! Both well deserved, IMO.

anyone on buffscoop.com?
Is it worth the cost? They are all over twitter, but I can NEVER read their articles because I don’t want to pay…
Denny Majewski - February 1, 2012 via mobile
you can read plenty of bad information other places on the web
NYCskibum - February 1, 2012
haha kind of what i thought
Denny Majewski - February 1, 2012 via mobile
haha kind of what i thought
Denny Majewski - February 1, 2012 via mobile
it is astonishing to me that anyone pays for that site
to read a bunch of made-up stories, when there are multiple free sites that immediately report when a recruit clips his nails.
Rainbow skyline - February 1, 2012
we've had this discussion previously
I choose not to support Buffscoop because they don’t have CU’s best interests in mind
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
whos interest then?
If not CUs
Denny Majewski - February 1, 2012 via mobile
their own
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
must have missed it
explain please
NYCskibum - February 1, 2012
Buffscoop is an independent recruiting site, basically. They don’t have the infrastructure of a Rivals (like Adam M) or Scout. So they report anything and everything, regardless of whether or not the player or the AD wants that info released. That’s fine. That’s what they have to do to validate their site and pay their bills. So be it. They’ve said repeatedly that their obligation is to their subscribers, and not to CU or the incoming athletes. That is very true.
But, as a CU fan, I support our AD and our incoming athletes. So my obligations do not necessarily jibe with the obligations of Buffscoop. So I choose not to support them.
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Makes sense
NYCskibum - February 1, 2012
Cyler about to announce
I’m guessing UW

Cyler says.....
UW
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
Well good for him I guess
USC is a black hole
BigXIITDOG - February 1, 2012
Cyler Miles signs with UW
and Kough signs with CU, thus putting the kauhbosh on his own personalized scandal “Koughgate”.
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
Well that was fun for awhile.....
BuffnBigD - February 1, 2012
That's a wrap.
where’s the hors d’ oeuvres?
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
Wait until Jacobs signs with us.
BigXIITDOG - February 1, 2012
5 soccer signees:
Jenna Glad,
Madison Krouzer
Olivia Popalardo
Heather Ward
Carly Manso
no mention of the last girl I reported, so screw me
I have no idea if the spelling is correct. I would guess not
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
What do you know about the new coach?
I would suggest you create a fanpost to catch us up to date withe firing, the hiring and the signings.
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
not sure yet. Hempen was a great coach
I don’t think it matters who coaches until we start pumping money into the program.
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
as expected, Kyle Murphy chooses Stanford
jesus. Their OL class is off the charts. Maybe the best ever.
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
New athletic office planned
This thing looks huge – really interested to hear the details. Hope it includes some sort of indoor practice facility.

Mosely set at CB
(I think he’ll be a safety eventually)

Embree announces Alex Kelley as part of this class
as a guard. Says he’s up to 320. Yikes

Kisima Jagne
I hope to give him a nickname. Soon

linebacker wasn't a priority
(it should have been, moreso)
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
says the same for OL, which is nonsense
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
we'll have some of this DLine class end up on OLine
NYCskibum - February 1, 2012
maybe. I'd prefer OL end up at OL
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
don’t give too much credit to high school offensive line coaching.
NYCskibum - February 1, 2012
says we've got a scholarship in the pocket
I don’t know how that works
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Then why not add Folasa?
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
Its the new math
Don’t even bother trying to figure it out.
lakebuff - February 1, 2012
says all the DL, DB, WRs will be in the mix this season
75% of the class will have a chance
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
says no reservations about Yuri Wright
mentions his own sons. Wants to be a mentor African American kids. Talking about social media. Not a reason to kick him off. Says he’ll talk to those who disagree. Doing a great job right now.
(I agree with this)
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
says he's good to finish high school
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
now talking about stupid twitter
nothing about girls, nothing about teammates, don’t use the N word.
Those have all failed in the last 24 hours, I think
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
talking up the fans
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Dillon:
likes the footwork and size, decision making. Talks up Connor Wood, interestingly
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
position changes:
Kasa, Thornton at WR, nothing else yet
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Kasa is a WR? Thought he was TE.
BuffnBigD - February 1, 2012
sorry- Kasa sticks at TE, Thornton sticks at WR
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
mentions being disappointed in losing 2 guys
doesn’t say who, but they’re Jalen Cope-Fitzpatrick and Taylor McNamera #fact
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012

based on the schools he said we lost to
highlandsbuff - February 1, 2012
ooh- 4 year scholarship question
the board of directors wants to make it happen
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
I don't know who that is, but that was the answer
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Julie Manning.
Director of Compliance
Jon Woods - February 1, 2012
no, I meant the "board of directors"
regents, maybe?
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Don't know.

Interesting on Sherrard recruiting Embree
Buff'em Up - February 1, 2012
Dear Embree: recruit Ohio
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Thank You!
Trust me us Ohioans will go to CU. And, yes, we have a lot of football players
CleBUFFS - February 1, 2012
CA, TX those are good
but Ohio, NJ, DC… those guys won’t think twice about the weather. And we’ve had a lot of success from OHIO. Rippy, Stewart, all the way back to your boy from Cleveland Ben Kelly. It’s stupid not to target that state.
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
I'm happy to see a Jerz-folk......
….Keep that Don Bosco pipeline
CraigScanlan - February 1, 2012
that's the best we can do for you
the Japanese are terrible at football
(yes, I know you’re from NJ and live in Seattle. Shut up about it)
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Someday! We just gotta keep feed'n em 'merican beef ;-p
CraigScanlan - February 1, 2012
Only Problem in OH is the competition
You’ve got all of the Big Ten, big East, MAC and then the national powers on the top recruits. Still, we need a presence here and having Brookhart as a coach should help.
CleBUFFS - February 1, 2012
could say the same thing about CA and TX
and, frankly, CO given this year’s results
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
True
But, Colorado is a grab bag due to the state of CU right now. In Ohio it’s Ohio State unless they really want to leave, didn’t get offered or have a family connection elsewhere. CU needs to get back to the point where the recruits friends/family are bitching at him for not going to CU.
CleBUFFS - February 1, 2012
Jacobs
I realize its a bit of a pipe dream, but with Embree saying there is still one scholarship available (somehow?), it would be pretty awesome to land Seth Jacobs.
buffs15 - February 1, 2012
Fullback
It didn’t make a ton of sense adding two FBs on scholarship for the entire roster, let alone in one recruiting class. But I really do like both Norgard and Powell. While reading up on the recruiting class at cubuffs.com (official release from CU), I noticed this: Take a look at the position listed for Powell on page 36. It’s even reinforced in the position breakdown.
http://cubuffs.com/pdf8/821589.pdf?SPSID=3843&SPID=255&DB_OEM_ID=600
Maybe this is the best way to get both players playing time with Powell in the steamroll blocking TE role. Something like Jimmy Kleinsasser for the Vikings.
CUJCC - February 1, 2012
Anywhere I can watch Embo's presser?
I’ve been lookin around and cant find it. I’d be real curious to see it though.

finally, Jacobs announces what I've been saying for weeks:
Oklahoma State
Phil Fraser - February 1, 2012
Good luck to him...
Just glad that he didn’t go to another Pac 12 school
CleBUFFS - February 1, 2012
Peyton Williams
Saw the SLC signing event tonight. Peyton was walking around no crutches, no limp… Couldn’t believe he just had ACL surgery 3 weeks ago. Seems like a real outstanding guy and will be a leader.
