Actually the buffs did have a 6-5 safety and he wasn't very quick but he had some timely picks.Originally Posted by buffs04

8/11 updates to roster:
Justin Gorman is now practicing at QB, not WR. They really seem to like the walk on from Pennsylvania.
Cordary Clark-Allen has dropped the "Clark" from his name and is now Cordary Allen.
Paul Richardson has been added as a scholarship freshman wide receiver.
There are a number of other changes coming up regarding the walk ons that are part of the team. But I'll wait until the roster expands on the first day of class to update them.

Typo?
Are the keeping him at QB right now, as a scout team type guy. I remember reading in his recruitment that he wanted a shot at QB but didn't have any serious offers so was happy to come to CU with the expectation of playing a slot WR role. With Lobata leaving though, it would make sense to keep him as a #4 QB for now.

Typo. Was supposed to read that Gorman is now practicing at QB.
I honestly think that it was just too much to have Hirschman take all the reps with the 3s and the 4s. We needed a 4th QB and Gorman stepped in. He's looked better than expected, but I'm pretty sure his future is still at WR.
Removed Clark Evans from the roster. We are now at 82 scholarships, leaving 3 openings. Be interesting to see which walk ons are granted scholarships. Pretty sure that Walters will be on scholarship this year as well as whoever wins the long snapper job.
unfortunately, one of our two snappers has speed and one has better accuracy. Those two critical components aren't present in one body at the moment.
I've updated the roster to remove Terdema Ussery.
That puts us at 18 open scholarships for the 2011 recruiting class, with 2 committed to 2010 grayshirts (Alex Lewis and Donnie Duncan).
Current recruiting commitments:
QB: Brock Berglund, Nick Sherry
RB: Ken Farrow
OL: Alex Kelley
LB: Brady Daigh
S: Vlad Emilien (transfer from Michigan)
Assuming no more attrition, we've got room for 10 more scholarships. Expect more. Should be a busy December and January.
I just updated based on what we have coming back for 2011 (including an assumption that Lewis and Duncan arrive in January).
This doesn't account for additional walk ons who may have been granted scholarships during the 2010 season. Reported, but no names confirmed.
It looks like we've got 15 scholarships available for the 2011 recruiting class at this time.
That number goes down to 14 if, as reported, Safety Vlad Emilien has transferred into CU from Michigan.
Further, we have 5 prospects committed at this time: QB Brock Berglund, QB Nick Sherry, RB Kenny Farrow, C Alex Kelley, LB Brady Daigh.
So as of Sunday, December 5th, we have no more than 9 scholarships to available.
In future site upgrades I wouldn't mind seeing this roster placed as a tab, you do good work Buffnik.
Looks like we really need some DT's in this years class, highest priority I can see on the roster.
Does Poole end up at DT?
Thanks, Mtn. Good idea on having a roster tab. Maybe put the coaching staff and the depth chart on there, too.
I think Poole probably moves inside. However, a lot's going to depend on what defense we are going to run. I believe that Greg Brown has been in more Tampa-2 type systems in the NFL. I expect us to go back to a 4-man DL and put penetration and speed at a premium. Our of a 34 look, Poole is actually a prototype 2-gap DE (as is Kasa). Problem is, we don't really have any 2-gap NTs on the roster who will command a double team.
I would say that cornerback is the #1 priority in this class. I think Pugh can play and I have only heard good things about Bell. But nothing improves our chances in 2011 more than bringing in a CB who can compete for a starting job as a true freshman.
Nik, I agree on bringing in more cb's to compete. I'm hoping we can find a jc who meets requirements and can qualify. This would put someone with at least some experience in the mix with Bell, Olatoya, and Pugh.
We should have listened to Colorado fans.
I just found an error that we have had on our scholarship list for months.

That brings us down to 14 scholarship openings for the 2011 recruiting class.#15 Jason Espinoza
After working hard for two years, the coaches placed him on scholarship beginning in the spring semester.
Great job as always!
That jumbo-sized class of 2011 is hurting us for this cycle, especially the plethora of linemen that are barely in the 2-deep or not at all (Behrens, Daniels, Tau, Goree, and Obi).
Did Richter and Harrington get redshirts this year?
Also, I would bet that Jaffee, and maybe Cefalo got those schollies in addition to Espinoza.

Richter redshirted. Harrington played on special teams.
Updated to remove Donnie Duncan.
