***********************
Just saw he received an offer from Embree and staff. He's pretty raw from what I've seen of him but he has a gigantic frame 6'10" 280 lbs. He comes from Ralston Valley HS.
I'll turn this into a profile thread. I was just doing the research.
Here's a link to his highlights: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/200963/dan-skipper
Scout, 9/19/11
Skipper, also a pitcher on the RalstonValley baseball team, combines the size and athletic ability that catches the eyes of recruiters.
Weighing 270 pounds on an extremely long frame, Skipper looks skinny on the football field, but his broad shoulders and long levers allow tons of room for growth and it is not difficult to project this young man in the 310 pound range in the near future.
Rivals, 1/15/12
Colorado became the first school to extend him a scholarship.
"They came to the school and watched me workout. Then the coach sent me an email (that they were offering."
Skipper was thrilled about the good news.
6'10 as a Junior? Might he get too tall?
Semi-related side note, how is the in state class looking next year?
Another Nate maybe, like the idea
This kid might be 7' 1" by the time he heads off to college.
If he outgrows football send him to Tad. Be interesting to have a 7'1" guy with the mentality of an OT.Originally Posted by BuffInVA
Want.
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.
Remember when my brother played baseball against him...yeah that was crazy seeing a kid that big in 7th grade.
Want though assuming Wood and Dillon can get it over his head.

Why in the world is he not playing basketball too???
Hopefully a Colorado kid who will give the Buffs a chance.
Sat next to him and Steve marshall at the basketball game today, Steve Marshall ignored the official visitors and sat with him and his family. The last thing that was said... Directed at his mother (by Steve Marshall) he'll always have a family right here in boulder. Looked very encouraging!

Why the hell would Denver Johnson be at a CU basketball game?
fify
At least I hope I did. Please tell us it was Steve.
I was trying to figure out why on gods green earth Denver Johnson would be recruiting for us. That would be a disaster
