Talanoa visited CU for the Junior Day event on March 6th.

His uncle is former Buff player Villi Maumau.

Has concerns about whether CU plans on utilizing the Fullback position in the future and may be interested in the Pac.

Committed to CSU.

He committed today? He might be rethinking that commitment after the BYU news is digested...

Were we going after him much? I would think the coaches would try to get a fullback on scholarship since we're using linemen at the position. I get that we don't use fullbacks much, but red zone and short yardage are pretty important phases of the game.

 

[Buffnik]

We never offered. I don't think we will, either. But I figured he would look to go somewhere on the west coast.

Honestly, I'm just happy to see another in-state kid get a full ride. And if he sticks with CSU then I hope he does really well for 11 games a year.

Now that we're switching back to a power offense, do we need to recruit a fullback?

Should the new staff go after Talanoa?

Da **** would anyone want to go to CSU?
