Locking down those boarders Mac. [emoji12] Were we really after this guy?
I think the staff liked him, but only at OLB. He preferred TE but at 6'1" (maybe 6'2") CU wasn't going to give him an opportunity there. He liked CSU from the jump and they offered the position he wants to play.
Kids from Pee-eblow are lost if/when they reach Boulder. THE CULTURAL GAP IS TOO GREAT.
As a good friend from P-Town once told me: 'The kids from there can't believe how nice the police cars in Boulder are! THEY DON'T STINK OF OLD URINE AND PUKE, like the ones in P-Town."
Looks like he'd be a greyshirt candidate at either spot if he chose CU.I think the staff liked him, but only at OLB. He preferred TE but at 6'1" (maybe 6'2") CU wasn't going to give him an opportunity there. He liked CSU from the jump and they offered the position he wants to play.
Since I've never been in a police car in P-Town, I'll take your word for it. But I highly doubt that Boulder being a nice place is hurting CU on the recruiting trail with anyone.
In this case, I actually think that Pannunzio chose the place that is the better fit at this time. Never know, too. Maybe he'll show a big progression his senior year and the Buffs will put on the full court press to flip him.

Kid is a nice athlete who may develop into a quality player but he is probably much more an MWC prospect that P5. If he had been from outside of Colorado and we had offered him a lot of people here would have been asking why.
He may be one of those cases where if he had choosen to commit to CU they would have taken him but weren't overly broken up when he didn't.
I cringe when you post things like this. You realize CSU beat us last year, right?
