Darrell Scott Attempting To Return To Colorado?
Vic Lombardi has tweeted that Darrell Scott is speaking with Dan Hawkins about returning to the University of Colorado and the CU football team. Personally, I'm apprehensive about the whole situation, but with the thin numbers at running back I would be willing to welcome him back if Coach Hawk feels like he is committed to the team and working himself into shape.
Just got confirmation: Darrell Scott wants back in. The former Buff is talking to Hawk about rejoining the Buffs. I guess he gets a mulligan

Welcome to the Ralphie Report as the Colorado Buffaloes get ready to take on the Missouri Tigers in Boulder. What will the Buffs do for an encore today after turning some national heads in taking the top ranked Kansas Jayhawks to overtime this past week. As of now, the status of Buffs G Alec Burks is up in the air. Burks averages over 16 points per game and is certainly needed as Missouri comes to town with an up tempo offense. Missouri comes in averaging 81.1 points per game, 15th in the nation. The Tigers are 1 - 4 on the road this season so that bodes well for the Buffs.

Saturday Buff Bites - Colorado Takes On Missouri Today
CU Buffs host speedy Missouri squad today - Boulder Daily Camera
The Buffs (11-11, 2-6) are wondering what they did to upset the basketball gods after another disheartening loss -- 72-66 in overtime to No. 1 Kansas this time. That`s 27 single-digit defeats and counting for Jeff Bzdelik at CU. "They all hurt," Bzdelik said before Friday`s practice. "But that would have been special, obviously. We can`t be hungover emotionally because we have an excellent Missouri team coming in here." Alec Burks -- CU`s key import from Grandview, Mo. -- practiced on Friday and hopes to play today. Doctors cleared the Big 12`s top freshman scorer (16.3 ppg) to play against KU, but Bzdelik held him out because his sprained left knee was only "90 percent" healthy
MBB Hosts Missouri Saturday - CUBuffs.com
Freshman guard Alec Burks remains questionable for Saturday's game against Missouri with a left knee sprain suffered two minutes into the game at Iowa State (Jan. 30). TIGERS UPDATE: Missouri is 16-6 overall and 4-3 in Big 12 play, and are coming their first home loss of the season against Texas A&M on Feb. 3 (77-74). Mizzou has struggled on the road this season at 1-4 overall (1-2 in the Big 12). They defeated Texas Tech on the road in overtime and have lost to Kansas and Oklahoma. Head Coach Mike Anderson is in his fourth season at Mizzou (81-41, .664).
Coors brewing with Buffalo excitement - The Denver Post
The place was rocking — with Buffs fans, of all things. "This is the best atmosphere I've seen here," Self said after his top-ranked Jayhawks survived in overtime before a sellout crowd of 11,027. "When we played out here in the past, and no disrespect to anybody, but 50 percent of the fans were ours. What was it tonight? About 75 percent Colorado fans? That made for a good crowd."
Calling All Conferences Power Rankings - College Basketball - Rivals.com
Indeed, thanks to coach Jeff Bzdelik and players such as leading scorer Cory Higgins, the Buffaloes are no longer viewed as a pushover in the Big 12 – or nationally, for that matter. Colorado is 11-11 overall and 2-7 in league play, with their last five losses coming by an average of 5.8 points. It’s been nearly four years since Colorado won more than three conference games, a number it will almost surely surpass this season.

Every visit we had and when they were here around faculty, they were very impressed with the kind of kids they were here. They look you in the eye, have great twinkle and great smiles, great handshakes-all of that is really, really awesome.

I posted this simply for the T-Shirt contest. Somehow, one of the finalists has to include "twinkle, great smiles and great handshakes."

Thursday Buff Bites - Media Not Too Impressed By Buffs' 2010 Recruiting Class
CU, CSU blown out in chase for state's top 10 football recruits - The Denver Post
Never saw Hawkins
Some top in-state recruits said CU didn't show much interest. ThunderRidge offensive tackle Dillon Bonnell, whom Rivals.com rated the fourth best in-state prospect, chose Stanford. He said he and other highly rated in-state prospects — including Mullen defensive end Nduka Onyeali (No. 3) and Steamboat Springs' quarterback Austin Hinder #No. 6# — discussed CU's lack of interest. Onyeali chose Arizona State, and Hinder is off to the University of California, Berkeley. "They seemed to blow past us," Bonnell said. "I've never seen coach Hawkins' face. We saw CU focused more out of state. . . . CU offered after they heard on a morning talk show I was considering Nebraska."Legacy All-America kicker Kip Smith chose UCLA. "I'd be getting calls from head coaches every week," he said. "CU only called a few times. I never talked to Coach Hawkins."
Hawkins Will Not Be WR Coach/ Ussery, Bonsu Out for Spring Ball - Boulder Daily Camera
Hawkins ruled out the possibility of continuing to serve as a position coach on Wednesday, saying his duties as head coach sometimes prevented him from spending as much time with his wide receivers as he wanted to last season.
Freshman wide receiver Terdema Ussery has taken a leave of absence from the program this semester to return home to the Dallas area because of a personal family issue. Ussery, who redshirted last fall, is scheduled to return to campus and resume classes in the first week of June.
Freshman defensive tackle Nate Bonsu is one of three Buffs who have undergone surgery since the end of the season and he won`t participate in spring drills. Bonsu played in all 12 games last season and suffered the injury in winter conditioning. Wide receiver Scotty McKnight and linebacker Doug Rippy also underwent surgeries on minor knee ailments and are listed as 100 percent now.
Buffs Recruiting - The Longmont Times-Call
As expected, Colorado football coach Dan Hawkins touted the signing class his program unveiled Wednesday, saying it was comprised of tremendous people who fit his program’s mold. Then the coach called it "probably the most athletic class we’ve had" since his arrival. That wasn’t so expected. The context in which Hawkins made his proclamation was that most of its members played extra positions for their high school teams, plus other sports, offering flexibility and versatility he says is hard to find today. Defensive end Chidera Uzo-Diribe, for example, also played wide receiver for his high school team in Corona, Calif. That’s fine. It just didn’t impress many beyond the program. Rivals.com ranked CU’s class the nation’s 65th, and last in the Big 12. Scout.com had CU tied at No. 69 nationally with Duke, and 10th in the Big 12.
Can you win in the Big 12 with this class? "We’ll see," Hawkins said. "I think we’re very close to doing some awesome things."
Krieger: CU's Hawkins must break cycle before it breaks him - The Denver Post
This year's late defections make one thing clear: CU cannot go through another recruiting season next year like this one. It cannot settle for a lower grade of recruit because the players with alternatives believe that Hawkins is a short-timer. Hawkins made his bed. He is getting the recruits his record and uncertain status have earned. There is only one way for him to escape the vicious cycle now. He must find a way to win next season with the players he has. "I think last year proved we're close," Bohn said. "It's very similar to what's going on with men's basketball. We're close. But yet that last difference is very difficult to achieve."
CU football didn't look that close to many independent observers last season, but Hawkins and Bohn keep saying it was. So now it's time to prove it. Either the Buffs win enough games next season to convince top recruits the program is on solid footing, or CU will have little choice but to send Hawkins on his way. Either he breaks out of the vicious cycle next season or it takes him down.
