We got him... its all good.
Alex Kline:
Dom Collier and KC Run GMC (MO) came into Philadelphia with a target on their back and they stepped up to the plate to deliver. A 2014 point guard from Denver East (CO), Collier is extremely talented playing alongside 2013 Kansas commit Conner Frankamp and 2013 Missouri commit Travis Jorgenson. He currently has a major list of schools involved with him including “Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, North Carolina, Purdue, Alabama, Kansas, Stanford, UNLV, Georgetown and New Mexico.” As a few of these schools have offered thus far, look for a majority of them to present Collier with scholarships by the end of the summer.

“Arizona, Colorado, Stanford, Kansas, North Carolina, and Iowa have been the main schools recruiting me,” said Collier.

Sounds like UNC has cooled and Arizona is the main competition right now.

I remember reading that there were rumors that he was planning on committing early. Would love it if that's true -- provided it's with CU. Getting him to commit sometime this summer/fall would be HUGE for future recruiting.
Yeah I'd love to see Collier commit early, then do a little recruiting on the AAU circuit.
Arizona and Kansas worry me
What is wrong with you guys... " i would love for him to commit early to recruit on the aau" What the hell? Ill be happy if he commits at all. Hes a 5 star player dont get greedy.
Uhh
He's a 3* or 4* player depending on the site, but yeah, he'd be a huge get. Tad has upped the bar substantially in his short time here and he seems to be a CU lean who may want to commit early. For these reasons, it's not unrealistic to think he may be ready to commit this summer. So yeah, we all want to see that happen ASAP so that he can go to work on bringing other top players to CU with him. We're greedy bastards.
It would be nice for us to become one of those schools that kids want to commit to early to make sure they get a spot rather than one of those schools that kids look at as a fallback. Seems like Tad is getting us there.
I think Collier and, to a lesser extent, Perkins, will be good indicators of where the program stands, at least with the instate kids. That's the first step, then we'll work on the out of state prospects.
This isn't going to be easy...
Collier didn’t have much time on campus due to a scheduled plane flight and wasn’t able to meet with Roy Williams, so he’s hoping to set up another trip to UNC in the near future.
“We only had two hours because we had to go catch a flight,” Collier said. “We are going to schedule another time to go and meet the academic guys and see the dorms.”
“He wasn’t there this time,” Collier said about Roy Williams. “That’s another reason why we want to visit another time. He was at a charity event for golf.”
Of course not, but he's also doing it right. This doesn't worry me, it'd be awesome to see him not go back but we're not good enough (yet) where recruits can take only one visit, have it be to Colorado, and commit on the spot. Josh Scott was rare jumping early on CU's offer.
