New rivals article out today where Dillon mentions visiting CU for Junior Day:

As for his spring plans, Dillon will take in Junior Days at two other Pac-12 universities before calling it a day.

"We're actually looking at Oregon and Colorado for Junior Days," said Dillon.

Based on stats, this seems to be someone who has the tools & measurables to be developed rather than one of those Cali QBs that come in as pretty much a finished product (e.g., Jimmy Clausen).

A little concerned with those 14 picks but kid has great size for being 17 years young.

Yep. The stats do not wow you, but I actually like Dillon quite a bit as a prospect, probably moreso than Bart Houston. If we end up with either, fine by me.

We should have no issues appealing to California QBs this cycle because most teams are filled up from last year or this year already.

A Cali kid with two offers from Ohio schools, but no offers from Pac 10 schools?

[VCBuff]

Dillon is working with George Whitfield, the QB coach that worked with Roethlisburger during his suspension and with Cam Newton to prepare for the draft. The offers are likely the result of connections Whitfield has with those programs.

Thanks. Great info. Explains a lot.

Definitely rep-worthy, guys.

[SINKRATZ]

So you're saying CU should make the $25,000 check out to George Whitfield. Got it, somebody remind Bohn to write "Recruiting Services" in the memo line so it's on the up and up.

Agreed. Great information and rep sent!

[White_Rabbit]

Any word on him coming out for Junior Day?

[Boulder the Hutt]

Trying to get some confirmation on that WR.

Latest rivals update does not mention a visit to CU for Junior Day, only that a coach of ours has been in contact with him and that we want to meet him in person before offering.
