Buffaloes true freshman running back Justin Torres has decided to leave the Colorado Buffaloes indefinitely. Torres, from La Mirada, California is the only freshman running back to receive playing time this season with 58 yards on 14 carries.
Hawkins said he was dealing with personal issues, including home sickness. He left open the possibility that Torres might return.
"We'll see," Hawkins said. "People ask me if kids (today) are different. I don't think they are, but their lives are 8,000 times more complicated. There is a combination of things there."
Redshirt freshman Quentin Hildreth will move into the #3 running back spot behind Rodney Stewart and Brian Lockridge.

Dear Adonis Ameen Moore,
Do you see the giant gaping hole of opportunity for you? See it. Feel it. Learn it. Love it.

You read my mind before I even opened the comments
Adonis – Picture yourself in a “Thunder and Lightning” role with (insert existing Smurf RB name here) getting all of the goal line work for the Buffs for the next four years running behind a very improved O-Line that’s nearly the size of the guys you play behind at Mullen now. Commit tomorrow and bring your friend, Rayshon Williams with you. Please? Sir.
yes, this.
And Willingham. And the other LB. And Cyler Miles next year. All of this.

I'll be more interested to see if he can block
Torres had 2 huge blocks against UGA. He was playing H-Back and sprung Stewart on that 65 yard run, and he picked up the guy who rushed Cody on the 2 point try (one on one, as he was the only blocker)

I'm bummed about this. I liked his potential.
But if it in any way helps bring in someone like Moore, then I certainly won’t complain.
Questions
When do we start questioning Hagan’s coaching ability/style with all of these RB transfers? I don’t put it all on him but this is the 3rd RB to leave within a year….
Also, who is this Moore you guys are talking about? A Mullen senior?

Oddly, the guy recruiting him to Northwestern is Mick McCall, who used to be the head coach at Mullen

Hildreth at RB
Once this guy gets his shot, people are going to wonder why it took awhile to see playing time.. The fact is that “turf toe” slowed him but is now healed… Very Very dynamic RB that has a combination of speed, vision and the ability to finish a run….
