With the addition of Colorado product Paul Richardson via the NFL Draft and a healthy Percy Harvin added to the lineup, quarterback Russell Wilson believes the whole crop of talent can’t get much quicker.
Russell Wilson pleased with Seattle's receivers - ESPN
Wilson also praised Richardson, the team’s second-round draft choice from Colorado. Richardson’s blazing speed was on display again Monday when Wilson found him behind the defense for a 55-yard touchdown catch. "Our receivers right now are as fast as it gets," Wilson said.

NBA Draft Profile: Colorado's Spencer Dinwiddie | CSN Chicago
Draft projection: As he’s still recovering from his knee injury, franchises won’t be able to get the full spectrum of what Dinwiddie brings to the table, in terms of working out and in head-to-head competition with his peers. But he won’t be a forgotten man on the night of the draft and while it would be surprising to see a team take a chance on Dinwiddie even in the late first round, he’s almost a lock to be selected in the second, as an organization would be able to monitor the tail end of his rehabilitation without making a big financial commitment.

With Talton in the starting lineup, the Buffs (23-12) played well down the stretch, reached the semifinals of the Pac-12 Tournament and returned to the NCAA Tournament.
No. 34: Tad Boyle, Colorado Boyle took over for former Colorado coach Jeff Bzdelik (whose three sub-.500 seasons were so enticing Wake Forest just had to hire him), and that swap may go down as one of the best coaching upgrades in Colorado hoops history. Boyle has been comprehensively good in Boulder, Colorado, both on the court (where he's 92-49) and off it, where CU fans are now deeply engaged with a program that spent most of the past two decades awash in Chauncey Billups nostalgia.
