'13 CA OT Gunnar Graham (Signed to Colorado)

Just watched his full HL and him along with Huckins are our two best pickups on the OL imo
 
He does show good athleticism and motor. I like the guys who convert to OL from DL.

I'd bet that he would be the type of kid to get many PAC offers after his senior year.

CU's recruiting strategy this year is obvious. I hope it works.
 
The guy seems very fast and big on video. The coaches have been the first (and possibly only) legitimate offers for many of these OL recruits. It's a risky strategy, but if it works, we'll be set for years. If it doesn't work, we'll be stuck with a lot of OL filling up schollies.
 
Watching his video, he does do a pretty good job of blocking down field. Think he could start at a Blocking TE position and then move to tackle later in his career?
 
Wait, whut?

3. Jive Turkey
Jive Turkey was a derogatory slang word in African American Vernacular English (Ebonics), used to refer to someone who was unreliable, made empty promises, or who was full of bluster. Several funk groups in the late 1960s and 1970s used the term, particularly the Ohio Players in songs such as "Jive Turkey" on the album Skin Tight from 1974. The insult became widely known in the 1980s, particularly via television comedies (e.g., The Jeffersons). The term has been used by later television characters (e.g., Homer Simpson) in order to demonstrate that they are out of touch with modern youth trends, culture, and language. The term was also used in the film Semi-Pro starring Will Ferrell and in Weird Science starring Kelly LeBrock 1985. "Jive turkey" also garnered attention in the movie Trading Places. Jive turkey, however, was already falling into disuse when it was spoken by "hip" television characters in the 1970s, such as George Jefferson. Jive turkey is also a quick step dance in Germany in the 1930s.

20. OL Gunnar Graham, 6-6/280, Kentfield (Calif.) Marin Catholic: Graham impressed at the Oakland NIKE Camp this spring and looked good again in the state bowl championship game. He's big at right tackle and is a flexible prospect who can block at the line or move downfield if that's needed. With his size, we'd like to see him be more powerful at the point of contact and really drive defensive ends down, but he does a nice job of grappling with them long enough so Goff can get the ball out.
