After being right the whole time about this kid, I am absolutely THRILLED to be wrong all of a sudden.

That’s just amazing news. I was obviously hoping he’d switch his commitment to the Buffs, but wasn’t really expecting him to do so. Maybe this will create some momentum and convince other guys to finally commit to the Buffs or reaffirm their existing commitment.

On a slightly different note, I was thinking earlier today that a weaker recruiting class could end up providing some great motivation for the 2009 team. Just think of all the bulletin board material the coaches could pull from the current slate of articles and comments about where the Buffs are heading….

Man I hope that Hawkins can keep him, you know the Gators will be putting on the pressure, but I love it. Lets’ see some more magic Hawkins!

and he’s changed his myspace background to a Chicago Blackhawks one. He also has a personalized note in one of the sections that reads:

"Hay world it Stank McKay

I wanted to know where should I go to college…UCLA, Colorado, Washington, Hawaii, Oregon, USC

Message me the answer."

I was tempted to message him and give him my best CU recruiting pitch, but didn’t know if I would be crossing any boundaries or doing something I shouldn’t, but figured you guys might like to see an update.

just curious though, rivals has him listed as a “soft verbal” anything to that.

all day long. I figured if it was gonna happen it would be sooner than later. Great call irish!! Ithink you might have to start a psychic hotline or something….LOL! I hope this is the beginning of some great things.

How much does this shut me and a lot of guys questioning the class as a whole. This adds that one beast to the class that we have gotten every yr. This also shuts me up about keeping the top talent in state. I’ll give up the 5 of 7 best prospects leaving state as long as we get far and away the best prospect.

As long as this holds up, Hawkins has really helped the class with our biggest need pretty much filled. Now I would just like to see some depth around the team to fill out the class. I can’t believe how much one prospect changes my view, I might be more excited about this than D. Scott, well close.

Hey, Irish, I wanted to post what you wrote Friday and what I responded.

Just BECAUSE the crystal ball works sometimes. Now we can pat each other on the back and say we never gave up… but neither did a lot of buffs. AWESOME NEWS, Mr. Kasa and Nuckols. You will be dazzling in your black and gold.

Until we hear straight from the horses mouth on this and until National Signing Day comes and goes, I will not write off Diante Jackson from being a Buff. I will not even write off Nick Kasa. Crazy things happen in recruiting and you never know.

I’m with you on this.
Anything can happen, and I would be happy to see either/both of them commit/decommit/recommit as many times as they want, as long as they end up where we want them on Feb. 4.

Never hurts to dream big.

That I thought I better check in early Monday to see if anyone else had committed overnight. LOL! I’m serious!

I hope I can take the next 21 days before signing day. Three weeks, man, just three more weeks. I can’t get enough of the Buff’s good news. They say good news comes in threes … Kasa, Nuckols and ???
