Article in the newsroom indicates he's been offered as a grayshirt (count towards 2013). Good move, hope he accepts the offer.

Makes some sense, grayshirt him, put some weight on him and also gives him a spring practice.

Also lets us count him against next year but actually count him against this year if we lose somebody for some reason (academics, injury, etc.)

Grandson of Bill McCartney, son of Shannon Clavelle. Ringo's story says he's holding CU offer.

Edit: Looks like he's a grayshirt candidate. Guessing he'd sign now and not enroll until 2013, so that's why I put the '13 header. Move thread if necessary, my bad!

We need to get legacies to what to come here and what better way to get the ball rolling.
 
Not so fast. Some things starting to come out regarding interest from other Pac-12 programs.
Really? So we make him an offer and ALL OF A SUDDEN other schools start showing intrest? OK, gloves ****ing OFF! SCREW THESE GUYS! ITS TIME FOR CU TO BEGIN TAKING NO PRISONERS! THIS IS WAR!!!
 
Colorado recently offered McCartney a grayshirt opportunity, meaning he would join the program on scholarship next spring, should he choose to accept.

"I am taking my official visit to CU this weekend so I will probably know what I am going to do more after that," McCartney said. "I am not talking to many other colleges but I have considered walking on at Baylor, or Oregon possibly. I have narrowed it down to those three."


Great read on Rivals. Obviously grew up a Buff.
 
Rivals is now listing Derek as a Buff commitment!

He'll use a grayshirt year put on some weight and join us in January of 2013.

:dance: :dance: :dance:
 
Cool! I think it's great to have legacies in the program who have strong roots with the Buffs.
