Re: Transfer: Josh Ford (Mullen)
New article on Josh Ford is up on Rivals premium.
Since the title is "Hoping to Join the Buffs" you can tell where Josh is leaning.
Love this quote: "If I can get into CU I am going to try to get Adonis and all those other guys at Mullen to come up to CU so we can help get the program back to the top," Ford said. "We need to stay in-state."

Ford has applied to CU and if he gets in, plans to walk-on as a running back. He has not been in contact with CU staff yet due to compliance rules. "... And I want to come home."

Re: Transfer: Josh Ford (Mullen)
my new favorite player if he gets in. Love the attitude. Probably has his own lunch pale and hard hat.

3 cheers for that comment!...I'd be the happiest guy around if we could get half the Mullen senior class up to CU next year!

Re: Transfer: Josh Ford (Mullen)
Love these quotes as well. It would be nice to see this kid be the one to start the attitude/belief that Mac instilled in those kids from 84-85. Keep em home and build something special.

Here's some good HS video from 2008 on Ford:

I think he's definitely good enough to contribute. Give us a lot on scout team and potentially become a special teams performer and spot position player.

Re: '10 TNFR RB Josh Ford (Mullen / KSU)
I hope this is the point where Bohn's "full AD support of Dan and the program" kicks in. Josh obviously wants to be and has the passion to be a Buff.
Still wonder with this sort of passion why he went to KjSU in the first place - but WHO CARES?
C'mon Hawk, Bohn, and co. DO WHAT IT TAKES TO GET JOSH TO BOULDER!
Josh, counting down the days until you're a Buff! :thumbsup:

Re: '10 TNFR RB Josh Ford (Mullen / KSU)
Interesting looking highlight reel. One question for those of you who watched him at Mullen. Didnn't see him catching any passes or returning kicks/punts. With his speed and what appears to be good burst did he do any of that in HS. If he can be a returner he may be able to help us right away.

Glad to see Hawk moving on guys and networking. I get a funny feeling about this though.
I don't know much about recruiting violations but it seems like something like this could be. I really, really hope not though. I just get that feeling somehow. Are their rules about Head coaches contacting Juniors? What about current or former D1 athletes with eligibility from other schools contacting current high school players?
No Doom, I just couldn't bare to see anymore violations at CU.

Ford was not on scholarship at KSU.
And he was the one who made contact by putting something on Hawkins' Facebook page.
You have absolutely nothing to worry about here.
More importantly, is there a database to look up whether Josh is enrolled at CU? If not, would you be willing to add him as a friend and ask him? :smile:

This is what he wrote on the admission office's (yes they have one) facebook wall back on the 30th:
It doesn't look like it's going to work out this time but he seems like he's really committed to figuring it out and getting in. Maybe Hawk and co. will be able to pull some strings and help him figure it out.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! GET THIS F***ING KID IN THERE! Honestly, with the way our season went, I didn't expect much form our recruiting class, and I still don't. So, for me, Ford is our number one target. We just need him in CU to help with some in-state recruiting. He loves CU and Colorado football, and even if Hawk is let go, he will be sold on CU football. Sometimes, you recruit players in order to help your relationships with other prospects. Get this kid admitted...this really annoys me that he isn't already on campus.
I really seem to remember hearing words out of Bohn's mouth a few weeks back that "We are going to throw the full support of the university and athletic department behind Dan in helping him build Colorado Football back to prestigious program it has historically been....," words to that effect.
Ummmm, call me crazy but I sure haven't seen any of that support since Bohn said that after the Nubraska disaster. No coaches' raises, no hire of new WR/any coach (don't count Ambrose), no talk of getting help on special qualifiers.
C'mon Mike, if there was ever a time to SHOW SUPPORT, IT IS NOW! GET JOSH TO BOULDER!

perhaps if Josh was a HS sr. and the staff was actively recruiting him, but remember that, while this young man may really want to be a buff, he is still an un-recruited transfer walk-on. I would like nothing more than for Josh to be able to fulfill his dream of playing for the Buffs, but I don't blame Hawk or Bohn for not using their admissions chits this time.

Actually, I shouldn't tell you this, but yes, there is.
It's as simple as this:
go to Colorado.edu
In the search box write a name of a student.
Hover over the box and it will say "web" or "people" -- choose people.
then hit search
and if there is a student by that name, you get a match.
Or you can do with faculty and staff. An example.
