AZ's BuffScoop broke the story a couple days ago on CU recruiting Greer.
Jashon Sykes, who went to Serra, has been helping with this one but both Cabral and Embree have personally been in contact. ASU leads and we have ground to make up, but we got an official visit on 1/14. This one could go until National Signing Day.
P.S. While he is being recruited as an OLB, Greer also has skills as a Fullback.
Scout reports: As a 2009 junior, had 140 tackles with 11.5 sacks and helped Gardena (Calif.) Serra to the CIF State D-III title.
It looked like Greer's numbers were down a bit as a senior (69 tackles according to MaxPreps), but there was an article a couple weeks ago that talked about the dominance of Serra's 2010 defense meaning there weren't a lot of tackles to go around and no one tried to run the ball on them:
Read more...When Serra linebacker Woodson Greer talks about his team's defense, there is no mistaking the pride and satisfaction he has in the hard-hitting unit.
Mention the defensive line and Greer feigns frustration.
"Man, they've been snagging all my tackles," Greer said, breaking into a big smile. "It's crazy. In the Chaminade and Notre Dame games, I had like no tackles.
"They have speed on the outside, strength on the inside. The talent on this line takes pressure off the linebackers and we can make plays."
On an unyielding defense that yields 13.4 points per game, the defensive line usually leaves opposing coaches in awe.
So who are the tackles? I think we need those guys.Originally Posted by Buffnik
Leach: Do you want to fight a buffalo? I don't know, those buffalo are big. You know, buffalo are significantly bigger than elk. I grew up near Yellowstone so I've been near buffalo. Buffalo are huge. And then the other thing I've always gotten a kick out of: When you play Colorado, there's those buffalo dragging those six handler around. Those handlers aren't dragging the buffalo. The buffalo's dragging him.
Seems like the line is all D-1 talent. One guy is a commit to Cal, and the other 3 have FCS offers. I'm not sure how often that happens in Cali, but 4 D-1 worthy d-linemen would be a dominant force in HS football.
Nik, CU doesn't show up on any of the three sites as "schools of interest." Apparently, that has changed if he is taking one of his five visits here. At what point does CU show up on any of those lists?
At the point when one of those sites also gets this scoop. I'm going off AZ here.
Next Buff commit imo.

Likely, since he's the only uncommitted guy among this weekend's visitors. Keep an eye on KT, though.
agree on both of those Buffnik. If we get one, I'd be surprised if it's not one of these two.
got him! congreats greer!

Woot!!!!
Thank you very much.
We are bringing in athletes. Good job Embree.
WOO! (dson)
Serra linebacker Woodson Greer has committed to Colorado. The Buffaloes scored another huge pickup Monday morning as the program continues to rebuild itself and reshape its program under new football coach Jon Embree. A home visit sealed the deal for Greer who texted Cali High Sports Monday morning saying “I have just committed to the University of Colorado!”
Cali High Sports is quickly becoming my 2nd favorite web site.
