PrintHere is an updated list of players who have visited (or will visit) CU who remain uncommitted. Please add your knowledge in the comments below and I will continue to update this list.
Last Updated: 7:50 PM, January 29
Players are listed by highest Rivals/Scout/ESPN rating
DE Luke Kaumatule **** Honolulu, HI Rivals Scout Will visit 1/27. Multiple offers. Will choose between: Colorado, Stanford, UCLA, Washington. Favorite: Stanford. He has been a Stanford commit since 9/2/11.
OLB Seth Jacobs **** Arroyo Grande, California Rivals Scout Visited 1/20. Multiple offers. Will choose between: Colorado, Oklahoma State, Arkansas. Favorite: Unknown. He claimed he enjoyed his Colorado trip.
DE Ewing Simmons *** Stockton, California Rivals Will visit 1/20. Will choose from: Multiple Pac 12 offers (unknown). Favorite: Unknown. Enjoyed his trip to Boulder.
WR/CB Jonavaughn Williams *** San Juan Capistrano, California Rivals Visited 12/3. Will choose between: Colorado, Oregon State, San Diego State. Favorite: Colorado. Everything I have read points towards a CU commitment. However, Oregon State just offered and San Diego State seems to be hanging around. Teammate of CU prospect Keith Parker.
Chris Solomon *** West Covina, California Rivals Scout Will visit 1/13. Will choose between: Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, Nevada. Favorite: Unknown.
OG Isaiah Folasa ** Corona, CA Visited 1/20.
WR Jason Gaines, El Cajon, CA Visited 1/20. Currently does not hold an offer from CU.
FB Keith Parker San Juan Capistrano, California Rivals Visited 12/3. Unrated. Still does not hold a scholarship offer from any school. Continue to keep an eye on this guy. I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw a CU offer eventually, if not, he could be a “preferred walk-on.” Teammate of CU prospect Jonavaughn Williams.

Thanks for the update
I saw that Solomon had CU as high on his list, I have a feeling that he will commit to CU
My hope is JCP, Rippy , Crawley, Kaumatule, Solomon and Williams round out this class…
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
"Duffman is thrusting in the direction of the problem" - Duffman
"Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun" - Ash from Army of Darkness
"H.I., you're young and you got your health, what you want with a job?" - Evelle from Raising Arizona
"It happens sometimes. People just explode. Natural causes." - Agent Rogersz from Repoman
Crawley and Rippy would be really good player to get
For some reason I think Rippy is one of those silent commits Embree talked about, but things also change. Crawley is very important to get.
I think Crawley visited Kansas and Wilson might have went with him. Not sure though Regardless, I hope we finish out strong.
It took all of us working together to fail
Too bad, but not real surprising

Crawley said he had a blast
he also said he has a hard decision to make. not sure about wilson

Wright update on buffzone today
Embree still wants him and he’s enrolled in another NJ high school and will graduate so he won’t have to get a GED or anything.
looks like it will take the recruiting pitch of the century to flip Cope-Fitzpatrick

Cope Fitzpatrick from ESPN article:
“I reassured them that I’m coming here. When it comes time for February 1, I’ll be signing my letter of intent to USC.”

Going to take a miracle to get this thing moving in the right direction
You going to USC or UCLA this week?
still haven't decided
I’ve got a Ucla fan buddy who might want to go to that game, and USC not being televised makes that more intriguing, but that Stanford game, coupled with my recent away game history:
45-6 @ Ucla
48-7 @ Stanford
52-7 @ Cal
gives me pause. You? David was thinking of going, too
Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.

a win @ USC would certainly improve my outlook. I just can’t handle another beating on the road. phillip.r.fraser of the gmail variety if necessary.

I haven't yet bought a ticket, but I'm planning on going to the USC game with my roommate

Kansas ?? Seriously? Tough decision?
I heard three all-you-can-eat buffets in Lawrence closed the day Weis was hired. Something about still recovering from the Mangino years.

Wow, was that a slap to KU?
Take an OV and then get home Sunday night and commit to the Buffs!! Love it.

The bottom line over the last couple weeks is we have lost a ton of momentum.
We are losing recruits to rival schools left and right, our “top target” has been kicked out of school, Crawley is enamored by Kansas, and quite frankly I’m getting very worried. I’m glad the recruits visiting this weekend got to see an epic basketball game. However, we must secure a couple of these 4 star guys (I still count Dillon as one). I know recruiting sites are not perfect estimates of potential but being the recruiting junky I am, I greatly value their opinion. We need a big commitment. Bad.
Don't get me wrong
I see potential in a lot of the recruits we have committed to us. I just am tried of seeing our team settle for “sleeper” recruits. I know beggars can’t be choosers with 3 wins but…GAHHHH I’m just frustrated.
Well...one night can change a lot
SB Nation needs to have a edit/delete comment feature haha. I’m really excited about Crawley-great pickup Embree!

Crawley to CU
Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.
by Phil Fraser on Jan 22, 2012 10:48 PM MST reply actions 1 recs
even though Crawley might be the only 4* listed for CU on Rivals
I’m still not sure I fully understand why Dillon was “demoted” to a 3 star prospect not long after committing to CU. He was selected as one of the Elite 11 quarterback prospects over the summer, only to be almost immediately demoted. Let’s hope the same doesn’t happen to Crawley now that he’s chosen to be a Buff :-(
on a side note
Greg Brown has to get some better pictures of himself on Rivals. The second mug shot on his bio looks like it was taken after a stumbling back to the office from a 3 martini lunch.
I am excited for Crawley
Looks like we got some athletic and talented guys coming in. hopefully Rippy too. Henderson and Crawley in the defensive backfield for a couple years…could be really good. hopefully he comes here, works hard and shows his talent
It took all of us working together to fail
those are different entities
Rivals had him at a 4 star and then dropped him down. Scout never had him higher than 3. Elite 11 is an ESPN camp, and has nothing to do with the star system. All that matter is how you perform for the week at the camp. Cody Hawkins was an Elite 11 as well.
Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.
While Dillon did perform well in the camp
and FWIW, I read from somewhere else that the Elite 11 in Cody’s year is kind of different from recent years. And he was not chosen purely based on himself
huh? So what?
My point is, Elite 11 has nothing to do with finding the best 11 QB prospects in the country. It’s about naming the best 11 who go through those camps. Adam Pittser was an Elite 11 last year. Yes, THE Adam Pittser, now of Wyoming, who also boasted offers from Illinois State, Ball State, and Western Michigan.
Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.
I'm pretty pumped about this
I like all three of the Woodson HS guys, Crawley, Walker and Wilson

Kyle Ringo on Deysean Rippy
I was told by a source two weeks ago that CU wasn’t going to continue to recruit Rippy because he wasn’t serious enough about his grades. He has academic issues that need his attention and he was continuing to take recruiting visits. CU coaches didn’t like that much and backed off him. Maybe they will work it out, but I doubt it at this point
Shoulder to Shoulder
Does that mean they pulled the offer?
Although it kind of annoys me that Ringo would report this, honestly that seems to be an internal issue with the program and Rippy. I have to question why a source would leak that, sounds like someone in the department has an issue with it, these guys have all been through the recruiting process, I am sure they understand that part of the excitement of being a high profile recruit is getting to go on campus visits and that the last semester of high school is mainly blown off anyways for the most part. I know I blew my last semester off and I had already been accepted to college and knew I would graduate, so I didn’t really care at that point. I assume Rippy and alot of these guys are all in the same boat.
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
"Duffman is thrusting in the direction of the problem" - Duffman
"Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun" - Ash from Army of Darkness
"H.I., you're young and you got your health, what you want with a job?" - Evelle from Raising Arizona
"It happens sometimes. People just explode. Natural causes." - Agent Rogersz from Repoman
well, like you said, you had already been accepted and then took it easy last semester
Rippy hasn’t. I’m assuming his “issues” could prevent him from getting into CU and if the coaches told him he needed to finish strong and instead he’s just screwing around instead I could understand why they’d be upset. Very unfortunate though, I wanted him obviously.
Seth Jacobs top 3:
Colorado, Arkansas, Oklahoma State. Will announce on signing day
Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.
ESPN Posting
http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles/preps/post/_/id/14353/time-is-of-the-essence-for-jacobs
If you read the post, he knocks the Buffs a little bit. But then in the same article, his HS coach says UCLA doesn’t have that good of a shot (they must have 65 scholarships this year) and the writer mentioned that it’s important to play in the PAC12. Sounds like CU to me.
To be clear:
When you say “he knocks the Buffs” you mean the writer of the article, not Jacobs.
Having said that, after reading the article this smells to me of a “let’s play coy and then surprise everyone on announcement day by staying with the hometown team” written all over it. I very much hope I’m wrong, but I’m not expecting to see him put the CU hat on…
You are correct.
I was talking about the writer. He made CU sound like the Citadel. Although your theory could come true, UCLA can’t have many if any scholarships left.
I swear all I see is UCLA signings

I don’t know that I’d call Yuri an idiot. I’d agree with you if he was in trouble with the law.
But he just needs to keep his comments out of the public’s eyes. Easy fix for our staff.

I figured he’d be in Ryan Miller’s old spot because I’m convinced Bakhtiari will move inside to left guard. The O-Line recruits look to be developmental redshirt types. That leaves probably either Munyer or Crabb.

Interesting story from Drew Goodman today on the radio
He was talking about CU continuing to recruit Yuri even after Twittergate. He agreed with Embree’s decision to pursue Yuri for the same reasons we have all mention, the kid deserves a 2nd chance, what 17 year old doesn’t have a filthy mouth. He went a little further in defending CU by explaining how Embree and co. actually backed off the recruitment of a coveted prospect because of character and grade issues.
I can only speculate that if you connect the dots Drew was eluding to the situation with Deaysean Rippy. Earlier this week, as stated in this thread, Kyle Ringo reported -
I was told by a source two weeks ago that CU wasn’t going to continue to recruit Rippy because he wasn’t serious enough about his grades. He has academic issues that need his attention and he was continuing to take recruiting visits. CU coaches didn’t like that much and backed off him. Maybe they will work it out, but I doubt it at this point
They might be talking about separate individuals but I think this speaks volumes about what Embree will and will not permit at CU. He’s not going to bring just anyone into the program. He’s going to try and do it the right way, with the type of kids he feels comfortable with.
This makes me happy.

Makiri Pugh, a senior-to-be in 2012, also is no longer with the program. He was listed as suspended at the end of the season for unspecified reasons. Pugh transferred to CU from Georgia two years ago as a defensive back. He voluntarily switched to receiver midway through last season. He finished the year sixth in special teams points earned for the Buffs.

not a lot. Just some loose info and speculation
I’m not saying that Rippy will be coming. Far from it. There are problems on both ends (mostly CU’s). I’m just not willing to write him off until he signs on the dotted line. At this point, CU needs him, and he wants to be here. So there might be some space in there to come together.

JCF is a goner. Kaumatule is scheduled to visit CU this coming weekend. Even though he may not have passed Stanfod admissions, why we he commit now? I still think we may be in the running for Jacobs, but the timing isn’t right. Kozan isn’t going to happen.
Buffscoop can go F*** themselves
I can’t stand a website making up news. We did not have another commitment from a 4 star player.

NIce article in the Washington Post on Crawley
Sounds like he was sold on CU for quite some time.
"This is a rebuilding type of year and they just need players," Crawley said Thursday. "I fell in love with the school as soon as I went out there for a visit. I love the coaches and the atmosphere and everything. They came on a home visit and met my parents and that was it right there."

I've got a question.
Bleacher Report says we might land Folasa because two weeks ago UCLA told him he probably wouldn’t qualify academically. I have never thought of UCLA as having higher standards for admission then us. True or not?

true
but not by a ton. I read the same thing somewhere else. That is… concerning.
Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.
no, a confluence of failures made it impossible
No one to go with, so I tried to find a good single. Found a pair, 4 rows behind the CU bench. But I couldn’t split them, so I would’ve ended up paying $75 for just me. So I figured I just go down and scalp one after work. Then I spilled a mango lassi all down my pants, so I had to come home and change after work. Figured I could still make it if there wasn’t traffic. There was traffic. Blah. That’s OK, I really shouldn’t be spending the money anyway.

Damn you mango lassi!!!
What the F is a mango lassi and why would you be drinking(?) THAT?
Damn you Pacific Time (9:30 start)…
Blame my negativity on American Airlines.
GIVE UP- At some point, hanging in there just makes you look like an even bigger loser.
it's Indian. Kind of like a mango shake
Went well with the tikka masala and samosas I had for lunch. Well, it would have…

I don't even know you anymore... ;)

Phew, i was worried there for a sec.
Been traveling all week, need to bring myself up to speed on the recruiting buzz. Know all about Wright (awesome, had a feeling….) and looks like jeffrey Hall fell through?
Still waiting for that last minute surprise.
GIVE UP- At some point, hanging in there just makes you look like an even bigger loser.
I think he's supposed to announce tomorrow officially
I wouldn’t mind missing out on him now, honestly (depending on who else we can get). We’re suddenly flush with DBs, with only a couple of spots left to fill. Luke K. is off the board- got admitted to Stanford, so he’s solid there.
Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.
I hope Hall verbals today.
Could still use another athlete back there, protect against injuries.

yes
I think that’s the offense the coaches want to go to. almost like when stanford rolls out their goaline one 1st and 10 on their own 20.

or like the Patriots
I hate them but that two TE set they run is dangerous

I'll defer to the coaches on this kid
I’m guessing Embo knows his TE’s

Read the story from Scout on Jontrey Tillman.
Sounds like a kid you want in your locker room.

Tweet from Munsterteiger
“Just spoke to CB Jeffrey Hall about his college decision. He asked that I wait until 6:30 pm (MT) to release the article, though. #Buffs”
Yup

Kaumatule
I get the feeling he is no longer interested in CU. He apparently did not take a visit to CU this weekend and remains committed to Stanford.
Kaumatule got the green light
from the Stanford admissions office. We were a backup plan if he got rejected.

Are we finished?
I can’t seem to figure whether or not we’re finished. I’ve read that a class cannot have more than 25 signees and even though CN and DM don’t count towards this class, it would seem as though we’re full. However, there are some interesting names still floating out there (Jacobs, Rippy, Simmons, Solomon, Fosala, Timmons), all of whom have expressed some interest, but I don’t even know if there’s any room if they did choose to come to CU…is this a foregone conclusion…
I think Miami has 32 right now

As per The Wiki
Looks like you can sign 28 from 2/1/12-5/31/12, but only have 25 new schollys per year. Weird. Guess if everyone gets in you have to have some gray shirt and count towards the following year? Or you tell some poor kid that you were just kidding, he has to go to school somewhere else. OUCH. I had no clue this is what we were doing.
by BuffulanceMan on Jan 30, 2012 1:27 PM MST up reply actions
you serious?
I thought that just meant he already turned in his paperwork but it isn’t really “official” official until signing day. Lots of schools list people that have already signed LOIs.
yeah- since he enrolled mid year, we can count him back toward last year (like a greyshirt)
Before signing day, a player signs a financial aid agreement instead of a standard LOI, which allows him to receive his scholarship money early. It’s semantics, really, but it counts. Connor Wood, too.
This bowling alley has my favorite restaurant in Pawnee
oh yeah
forgot he was an early enrollee, I knew that… the only one, right?
my bad brettden, didn’t mean to give bad info
the only one on our list
When I heard that Embree wanted to sign 28, I figured it would be 25 plus Wood, Norgard, and Kelley. But Wood and Kelley aren’t on the list.
So either Embree’s counting on some nonqualifiers, or things are about to get a little shady.

I wonder if McCartney's
grandkid would grayshirt. Or maybe didn’t one or more of the recruits get injured last year? Greyshirting could allow them to heal up a little more…
Ugh… I’m really hoping CU doesn’t get any bad press if we have to reneg on a player enrolling in fall. That would suck and put a damper on what looks like an otherwise fantastic class.

Kyle Ringo says Embree's staff still couod sign 3 more commits if everything falls into place
there is a recruit who visited and committed to another program but CU coaches believe they flipped him and he will sign with them on signing day
The guy they are waiting on is linebacker Seth Jacobs. They also believe they might get the guy I mentioned above and they have another kid visiting this weekend. If they get all three, I’m not sure how they get everyone in. Seems like they are counting on some guys to not qualify academically and some guys to grayshirt
Embree will explain it all on Wednesday. It’s already a huge class and the foundation of the program for the next four or five years.
Seems like if anyone has the visting lists for last weekend and this weekend it might be easy to guess as to who they might be talking about.
6’6" 278 lb Offensive Tackle, Ed Caldwell from Highlands Ranch, has also agreed to defer 2 scholoarships (I don’t know where) to walk on at CU.
This class could be huge.
Shoulder to Shoulder
Looks like ** DB/WR Jontrey Tillman is visiting next weekend
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Ed-Caldwell-132567
Considering the positions he plays it doesn’t make sense that Embree would extend a scholarship to him. His Scout site says we haven’t offered either so he may be another walk on.

that would impressive if he puls that off
