[Boulder Buff]

He outplayed Hinder in the 3A state championship. Incidentally, Hinder is now the #6 prospect in the state.

Seems like Hinder is sliding right down the state rankings. Maybe more people are starting to see what people a little closer to the Steamboat program and their conference have....

Scout has a new update for Berglund. CSU offered, he says he thinks a CU offer is coming soon, he keeps getting hand written letters from Hawk etc. CU and KSU both invited him to their Junior day March 6, he opted to attend CU's over KSU's so obviously he likes us.

Rivals has a new article on Berglund that makes me think we may have found our QB for the 2011 class. CU better offer when he visits for the next Junior Day:

What are Berglund's current thoughts about the Buffaloes?

"I know there are a lot of people in the media that have been saying negative things about [head] coach [Dan] Hawkins but he has done a good job of laying the foundation, developing the program," he said. "I have talked to him a lot and I know that he is a great guy and a great coach. They are really looking to have a really good year this year and build that program back up. I believe they will."

Sherman [Valor's OC and AD] said he expects Berglund to make a decision sometime this spring or summer.

Can someone go over there and tell me how tall he really is? I hope he really is 6-3.

Well Scout has him at 6'3 190, Rivals has him at 6'4 205, so he's probably 6'3 1/2 and 197 1/2 lbs.

Seriously though, I bet on the low end he's 6'2 and probably at least weighs 180 pounds. 6'2 works for me, I think that's what Hirschman is? That's fine by me for a QB.

Still a decent chance he grows some before graduation, too...

I really, really want us to get this kid...

Any video for this guy yet? I haven't even seen him play Judging by what the locals say about him, he sounds pretty good, but I'd like to see a highlight tape or something.

Here's a short video of him scrambling for a touchdown. He's got some wheels and he looks like a man among boys against Colorado 3A competition. I can't wait to see him against 4A next year.

One thing that's interesting about Brock is that when he committed to Valor Christian, it hadn't even been built yet. It was a construction project. But he believed in it. Considering that he's a lifelong CU fan and has the mindset of a builder, I really believe we're going to land him. Hopefully early, too, because getting the top QB in the state can go a long way toward pulling in the rest of the class.

Amen. Here are some stats from the game against Steamboat/Hinder. Also a little story to go with.

Steamboat Springs 14, Valor Christian 41
AURORA (AP) - Brock Berglund threw four touchdown passes and ran for a fifth as Valor Christian rolled to a 41-14 victory Steamboat Springs in the Colorado 3A state football championship game Saturday night.
Berglund finished 9-for-14 passing for 199 yards. Blake Froistad caught two of the scoring passes from Berglund for Valor Christian, (14-0), a third-year school playing in its second year of varsity football.
"I thought Brock controlled the game well," Valor Christian coach Brent Vieselmeyer said. "He made good decisions, making good decisions in the pass and the run game."
The defense had seven sacks in the first half.
Berglund upstaged his counterpart, Austin Hinder, who was only 10-of-18 for 75 yards and was intercepted twice. Hinder had two touchdown runs for 51 yards, but no touchdown passes for Steamboat Springs (13-1).
