Nick Sherry, a 6-foot-5, 210-pound quarterback from Casa Grande High School in Petaluma, Calif., chose the Buffs after a conversation with coach Dan Hawkins.

"He talked to coach Hawkins and decided that he wanted to make it happen," Case Grande coach Trent Herzog said. "Nick is very excited and we're excited and proud of him."

Sherry earned his offer from Colorado after showing well at one of the Buffaloes' summer camps.

"My camping experience at Colorado was incredible," he said. "I got to see the whole campus and meet all the coaches and everybody was really nice. I liked it a lot. Everything about it was great."

Here's what the resident expert at fvsports had to say about Sherry: QB Nick Sherry, Casa Grande - High 3*, 2nd best QB in NorCal after Boehm and very good arm. Just a pocket QB and from a tiny program but big upside. (Note - Boehm committed to Cal in May.)

Rivals mentioned Sherry as a player who "impressed" at the Berkeley Elite 11 camp in May.

In the Scout update from 3 days ago when Sherry named a top 5 which included CU: Nick went to the Arizona camp last weekend and was named MVP of all the quarterbacks. Arizona really liked him. They are real close to pulling the trigger." (Note - Arizona considered Sherry its backup plan if it didn't strike gold with landing Brett Hundley.)

Here's a sweet 2-point PAT Sherry pulled off last season:



***********

Sherry was a Plan A quarterback prospect for the Buffs in the group with Hundley, Berglund and Rudock. Buffs want 2 this cycle. Since Sherry's a pocket passer like Hirschman, I'm expecting the next QB to be more of a dual-threat QB like Hansen.

Great size: 6'4" puts on 10 lbs and he'll be able to stand in the pocket and take the pressure. Great pickup for the buffs.

That 2 point conversion is straight out of the Brett Favre playbook. Anyway, kid looks solid, good arm and size. I'll take the trade of Foreman for him.

Wake me when we actually get a commit from a player who actually has an offer from a BCS school. Remind me who the last commit was who has such an offer?

I know, I know, everyone of them would've if they had grades, weren't injured, were from a big city, etc etc.

Here's an article from the Santa Rosa press democrat. .

I watched his video on ESPN, and why ESPN decided use that video to display his talent I will never know. They basically have a video on the page showing roughly 12 sequential plays from a game, and 6 of them are Nick handing the ball off. The other six plays consist of 3 incompletes and 3 completions.

The video above really shows the kid has an arm, and a pretty good release (also love his size). If Hirshman works out, then this kid will have plenty of time to develop.

I really like the potential here.

Why don't you keep this crap out of the recruiting forum? This is a big day for this kid and he doesn't need you pissing on it.

At this point in the recruiting process we don't really have any idea who actually did offer, who is considering an offer, and who is waiting a little longer before stepping up with an offer.

For guys who play at smaller schools, schools that haven't had the history of winning championships, or schools who's coaches are not as forceful or as experienced in the process of getting upper level recruits noticed and offered it is still very early to tell how other schools look at or will look at a kid.

I have no illusions about having a great recruiting class this year, Hawk hasn't won in the past four years and if in the high likelyhood that he doesn't make a major turnaround this year he will be gone soon.

At the same time there is no reason to believe that we can't get a number of individual players who will develop into the core of the first teams for our next coach as CU rises back into prominence.
