Plenty Of Recruits Will Be In Attendance For The Buffaloes Spring Game

With the Colorado Buffaloes spring game set to finally kick off today at 5:00 p.m. fans are ready to finally get a glimpse at what next year's roster may look like. As the team continues to recover from the Dan Hawkins era playing time will be available for much of the freshman class that will be hitting Boulder this summer. But the depth on this team still needs a lot of work and the 2013 recruiting class will be of infinite importance to Jon Embree's tenure as the Buffaloes head coach.

Today's game will be a big step towards securing the talent needed to take this team to the next level in future seasons, with 29 players expected to be in attendance. These recruits will be treated to a beautiful Boulder day, much different from those attending games in mid-west locations across the country that are experiencing rain, hail, and even tornadoes.

As the game is being streamed live on CUBuffs.com, make sure and head back over to The Ralphie Report for our live thread.
