Colorado Receives A (Somewhat Shaky) Commitment From DE De'Jon Wilson

PrintAccording to Adam Musterteiger of BuffStampede.com, the Colorado Buffaloes have received a verbal commitment from Washington D.C. defensive end De'Jon Wilson. Wilson had been committed to Kansas since August, but decided to make the switch to Colorado after Turner Gill was fired as the head coach of the Jayhawks. This verbal could be considered somewhat shaky since he told Adam that he does plan on taking other visits, but hopefully his former teammate and current Buffalo Sherrard Harrington can help make the decision stick.
Welcome aboard De'Jon!

So the relationship that I have with their coaches is great. I am looking forward to going out there." |

Great!
Hopefully he sticks with us through signing day.
As far as eye tests go. I like the looks of this class so far!

I didn't realize a vision test was part of a recruits metrics....
GIVE UP- At some point, hanging in there just makes you look like an even bigger loser.
No it was a response to "Huck" comment that he approves of this classes eye test so far
Play on words…. I’m pretty bored at work.

Wait...
You were making a joke that maybe the players had to take “vision tests”?
Ah… Haha. Oops

Yeah, it was a weak attempt at a play on words.
Wilson looks solid in an area of need, my only issue is that he still wants to take visits. Maybe he needs the frequent flyer miles, but in the end i’m confident he stays a Buff because we have the whole package to offer.

Early playing time is a big sell to him I bet
He has offers from Michigan State and Pitt.
I’m guess playing time was the reason he picked Kansas and a big reason why he would come here.
We’ll have Uzo-Diribe and Juda Parker at Right DE and the Jack Backer spot next year.
So there’s a good chance that a True Freshman could come in and start.

Believe it or not
Eye tests are all I have to go off of right now. In fact, that is mostly what the coaches have to go off of as well. There are no sure bets in recruiting.
I can watch all of the film and check height/weights and 40 times. Right now, I feel good about the guys coming in. Better than I’ve felt over the last years under Hawkins.
But we won’t know how good these guys are until they line up against the other D1 talented players.

Eye test
Take a look at Wilson’s highlights BuffnBigD. I posted them below.
This kid shows good quickness, strength, good size and I love the passion!
He plays DE which is a pretty big impact position and also of big need!
So yeah, he passes my EYE TEST!
Way to go Embo!!!

Wilson is from the same school as Harrington
That strategy was mentioned before. But it certainly helps to have a buddy on the team to help recruiting.
Hopefully Yuri Wright follows his buddy!

Everything I'm seeing is that Yuri is leaning towards Michigan
Or tOHS might get into the mix. Either way, looks like a longshot

I'm hearing fellow teammate Kenneth Crawley might be joining him
He is a solid verbal for Tennessee but still favorable for CU.

This should be a fun off-season!

With Connor Wood tossing the rock next year
He’d be a prime candidate for 40+ receptions across from P-Rich.
