I’m saying Kough. again

and also to note, again-
if you’re a season ticket holder, Buff Club member, or otherwise booster- you can now contact the signees, per NCAA rules. Previously, you were committing an NCAA violation.

Didn't someone say they had a list of new and existing Buff Twitter accts?
GIVE UP- At some point, hanging in there just makes you look like an even bigger loser.
I asked that Woods (and Bell, I suppose) to generate one
but it hardly matters. You can follow them, just can’t contact them. It’s a stupid, unenforceable rule that will change, and nothing will happen if you violate it, but it exists.

Henington signs
interesting that Mullen didn’t hold a signing ceremony. They ALWAYS hold a signing ceremony. Maybe Miles isn’t as solid to UW as I thought.

Kough
So if we get kough, the only other potential signee would be Seth Jacobs later today?

Seth Jacobs is no longer an option
he’s choosing among ARK, OSU, and Ucla. I have said all along that he chooses Oklahoma State

holy shit
Stanford just copped Andrus Peat. We’re going to need to line up all nine of our DL recruits to match up with their OL class

I like that Nebraska lost that recruiting battle
not so happy we have to face the kid.

But love that they took him from Nebraska.

that Stanford OL class is incredible
I think they’ll get Kyle Murphy, but now it matters less.

Going in I thought UCLA would be the center of attention
Has to be Stanford no with their class
Is that the definition of bittersweet?

Funny thing is a guy did a similar comparison at the main SBNation for college recruiting on a national scale

Shrug...
there were no graphics, and so it was just numbers on a page.
It was less intensive data-wise and without graphics it was mostly opaque.
Doesn’t threat what we do; It was more amusing than anything

Derek McCartney signed

LATE INTREST FROM CYLER MILES FOR CU
Jimmy Wood
Late interest from Cyler Miles with CU. Top CO recruit, would change entire dynamic of class. Come on @JEbuffs @cubuffs @DarianLH3!!!
Shoulder to Shoulder
That would be awesome
"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
Long shot for sure
Wood is now saying Miles might not commit today which would be a good sign
Shoulder to Shoulder
Dillon was told we would only take 1 QB this year
This bowling alley has my favorite restaurant in Pawnee
Perhaps this is the "surprise" JE was talking about?
Sorry Connor and Shane, but a QB competition is a good thing! Hope he signs!
Agreed
One competition is key, also good to keep the top instate propsect here in Colorado

"Duffman is thrusting in the direction of the problem" - Duffman

"It happens sometimes. People just explode. Natural causes." - Agent Rogersz from Repoman
I agree competition is healthy
I don’t like Embree going back on his work about only taking one QB this year. I am sure that is a big reason why Shane commited so early.
Walter Sobchak: "Also, let's not forget - let's *not* forget, Dude - that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city - that aint legal either. "
see above
If Embree takes another QB, it looks horrible to everyone Dillon knows. Friends, QB coach, HS coach, et cetera

who cares its Cyler Miles and hes the best in state recruit, it looks good to th entire state of Co High School preps

well, everyone that is connected to Dillon likely cares
Which is most of the San Diego area. For some reason, we’re already losing ground with Chapparel and Vista Murrieta. San Diego is a strong recruiting ground
This bowling alley has my favorite restaurant in Pawnee
its a moot point, no way in hell he comes to CU, but I don’t see how your suppose to pass up your top in state recruit, just because he plays the ssame position as another kid and u told the kid he would be the only qb in this class.

I think you stick to your promises
If you promise a kid a scholarship- that scholarship should be there for him. If you recruit a kid by telling him that he will be the only QB in the class- you abide by that. That’s just me.

admittedly, it's a bit of a naive position
and recruiting is a cutthroat game. I just don’t like it.
Especially at QB, which is the most common position for transfer.

A high proportion of Mullen recruits in recent years appear to be dysfunctional
in their ability to select the proper University for themselves.
by BuffulanceMan on Feb 1, 2012 1:02 PM MST up reply actions
that's not recent
Frankly, Mullen guys don’t produce at the level they are recruited. Nolan Brewster, Clint Brewster, Bryce Givens… go back to Ryan Clement and Emmett Mosley. Devin Aguilar is the best recent Mullen recruit. He went to… Washington.

Well it's difficult for those guys...

no. He's a 2 star OG with an offer from us and Army
and he’s signing at 3 (2 local time)
This bowling alley has my favorite restaurant in Pawnee
Just have to think...
That even with a full class the coaches would find room for him if he wanted the spot.

USC pushing late for Cyler Miles, announcing at 2
So we’d have to play him every year, instead of 2 or 3 times.
I am not sure Miles would fit USC offense
Seems like it is Lane Kiffin trying to screw UW

Kiffin is a bastard, hopefully Miles understands the only reason Kiffin is doing this is to screw UW, hopefully he sees through and stays home.

I think they have 2 more spots
their problem is fitting them all into 75 scholarships overall. That’s why they’ve had so many transfers. Expect more. San Diego State is the biggest benefactor of the USC sanctions

we won't have to play him every year
They’ve got 2 blue chips in front of him. We likely wouldn’t have to play him ever. Maybe 1 year.

Probably will try to turn him into a safety, if they actually have a scholarship available

well, we have signed as many a lot of years- none

speaking of Tad...
Big congrats to him and Lappe on the contract extensions! Both well deserved, IMO.

anyone on buffscoop.com?
Is it worth the cost? They are all over twitter, but I can NEVER read their articles because I don’t want to pay…

it is astonishing to me that anyone pays for that site
to read a bunch of made-up stories, when there are multiple free sites that immediately report when a recruit clips his nails.

I choose not to support Buffscoop because they don’t have CU’s best interests in mind
This bowling alley has my favorite restaurant in Pawnee
whos interest then?
If not CUs
by Denny Majewski on Feb 1, 2012 2:23 PM MST via mobile up reply actions
Buffscoop is an independent recruiting site, basically. They don’t have the infrastructure of a Rivals (like Adam M) or Scout. So they report anything and everything, regardless of whether or not the player or the AD wants that info released. That’s fine. That’s what they have to do to validate their site and pay their bills. So be it. They’ve said repeatedly that their obligation is to their subscribers, and not to CU or the incoming athletes. That is very true.
But, as a CU fan, I support our AD and our incoming athletes. So my obligations do not necessarily jibe with the obligations of Buffscoop. So I choose not to support them.

What do you know about the new coach?
I would suggest you create a fanpost to catch us up to date withe firing, the hiring and the signings.

not sure yet. Hempen was a great coach
I don’t think it matters who coaches until we start pumping money into the program.

says no reservations about Yuri Wright
mentions his own sons. Wants to be a mentor African American kids. Talking about social media. Not a reason to kick him off. Says he’ll talk to those who disagree. Doing a great job right now.
(I agree with this)

now talking about stupid twitter
nothing about girls, nothing about teammates, don’t use the N word.
Those have all failed in the last 24 hours, I think

CA, TX those are good
but Ohio, NJ, DC… those guys won’t think twice about the weather. And we’ve had a lot of success from OHIO. Rippy, Stewart, all the way back to your boy from Cleveland Ben Kelly. It’s stupid not to target that state.

that's the best we can do for you
the Japanese are terrible at football
(yes, I know you’re from NJ and live in Seattle. Shut up about it)

Only Problem in OH is the competition
You’ve got all of the Big Ten, big East, MAC and then the national powers on the top recruits. Still, we need a presence here and having Brookhart as a coach should help.
could say the same thing about CA and TX
and, frankly, CO given this year’s results
This bowling alley has my favorite restaurant in Pawnee
True
But, Colorado is a grab bag due to the state of CU right now. In Ohio it’s Ohio State unless they really want to leave, didn’t get offered or have a family connection elsewhere. CU needs to get back to the point where the recruits friends/family are bitching at him for not going to CU.
Jacobs
I realize its a bit of a pipe dream, but with Embree saying there is still one scholarship available (somehow?), it would be pretty awesome to land Seth Jacobs.
Fullback
It didn’t make a ton of sense adding two FBs on scholarship for the entire roster, let alone in one recruiting class. But I really do like both Norgard and Powell. While reading up on the recruiting class at cubuffs.com (official release from CU), I noticed this: Take a look at the position listed for Powell on page 36. It’s even reinforced in the position breakdown.
http://cubuffs.com/pdf8/821589.pdf?SPSID=3843&SPID=255&DB_OEM_ID=600
Maybe this is the best way to get both players playing time with Powell in the steamroll blocking TE role. Something like Jimmy Kleinsasser for the Vikings.
Anywhere I can watch Embo's presser?
I’ve been lookin around and cant find it. I’d be real curious to see it though.
finally, Jacobs announces what I've been saying for weeks:
Oklahoma State

Peyton Williams
Saw the SLC signing event tonight. Peyton was walking around no crutches, no limp… Couldn’t believe he just had ACL surgery 3 weeks ago. Seems like a real outstanding guy and will be a leader.
