Coleman is a bad man. Big, explosive, athletic and mean. I disagree that he wont be ready to play until he is a junior or senior. He has all the tools to play as a redshirt freshman

You guys really know nothing about this kid talent wise he is probably one of the top 3 kids in our class and was the best in CSU's class the kid was a monster this year in the games he played he single handily shut down the Valor offense and had done the same to De La Salle until he got hurt. This is a great pickup for us if he had played a full healthy season we probably would have no chance at him because TCU would've offered and other big PAC 12 and BIG 12 schools would've gotten in on him.
The only thing that will stop him from seeing the field here will be his knee health everything else is fine with this kid.

And you would know this how....??? tia
Here is my take: I love this signing. He probably had the biggest upside in the state of Colorado. He showed it with 13 tackles and 2 sacks against Valor and De La Salle in CA. Also, he was 16 when he injured his knee. This will help the healing process a ton. He will be 17 when he enrolls. A RS year will allow him to mature, and gain strength. He is already an explosive athlete according to camp reports. He also excelled at multiple positions. The camp reports also said he has no problem changing positions. If he had been healthy, we would have had no shot.
Excuse me, they won by 1! Thennell is still a dip5hit, CSU alum, under-developer of Logan's players and a terrible defensive coach. Mullen was good. Under Thennell they will be every once in a while. I wouldn't always count on their best players being guided to CU.
I haven't watched Tim's film yet, but congratulations to him for seeing past all this and choosing CU! I hope he becomes a great player.

I don't think before I post
TCU would take the kid if they found he was good enough to be one of their X amount of scholarship players for that year. I don't think TCU only takes Texas guys.

This I agree with. Only I am happy to have 280-290 lb run stopping DE's. If I was developing DT's I would prefer to take a guy who can hopefully get to 325.
Cool story.
Just find it funny that we are talking about a 16yo who is under 250lbs and people turning him into the second Warren Sapp.
Kid is young, should have a lot of growth potential, and appears to have fallen to us due to an injury. Lots of the more successful programs focus on recruiting the best athletes they can get then figuring out what to do with them. Lets at least let him show up for a CU practice before designating him the next __________!
I see no mention of Warren Sapp, only mentions of him being a defensive tackle down the line. A perfectly reasonable discussion that somehow offended your recruiting discussion sensibilities. I look forward to your next 835 generic posts about how "we need to recruit guys that can play at the BCS level" and "how we just need athletes". I know I can count on you for that part of the discussion.
There are post about how he will play immediately as a freshman, how he will grow to 270, then 280, then 295. Not saying that any of this won't happen but that the thread is very quickly moving from the "might" to the "will" range very quickly. And people think I am a kool-aid drinker.
I'm happy to have him committed, I think he has a tremendous upside, maybe he will develop into a DT, maybe he becomes the big dominating DE we would love to see. My only point is that the speculation is stretching pretty rapidly considering that he played one full game of HS this year and has never faced college competition, even in practice. He is currently listed at 6'3" and 243lbs and HS listings are often overstated.
On the other hand I do believe we need PAC level athletes and this kid looks like he will be one. He is already bigger and faster than some of the guys we have played at DE in the last few years and should only get bigger and stronger. It would be nice to have enough quality athletes that our problem is finding room for them not where do we need them most.

And he measured in on his official visit at 6'3"/246.
He's got some size at a young age, looks like a nice pick up.

I honestly hope he doesn't turn into a DT. If he is as athletic as some have mentioned we could really use him at end. We are hurting badly for DE's in the program. DT's were recruited nicely by Embree last year and I think we will have a good rotation for the next 3 or 4 years if they all can stay healthy and play together.
Adam (Rivals) had a good writeup today from an interview with the Mullen coach. Very athletic kid that played very well in his first Defensive start (moved from OL) in their opening win vs Valor Christian. Hurt in game 2 and Mullen's season slid from there. Coach states this kid would have made a big difference.

Well, hopefully he can recover from the knee injury and wreak some havoc. Hoping there's a lot of untapped potential in him too considering how green he is.

Welcome to the Black-n-Gold young man!
I'm excited about Coleman. Unbelievably disruptive in his first games playing defense this season. It's a big eye opener to me that with him in the lineup Mullen beats Valor (who played in the state championship game). Without him in the lineup, Mullen loses the majority of their remaining games. This kid obviously makes an impact when he's on the field that changes games and delivers wins. Can't wait to see him in the black & gold.
Raw, super athletic, great upside. He's probably the kid in the class that has one of the highest ceilings, if he's willing to do work. Could be a monster pickup. Led to believe a certain coach let Mac in on the secret, that CSU was stealing a kid. Kid is top 3-4 in the state this year. Potentially #2 according to a certain former Buff.
I'm expecting great things. Welcome to the B&G Mr. Coleman!
