'14 CO ATH Jaeden Graham (Verbal to Yale)
- Thread starter White_Rabbit
- Start date
I hope he plays mostly LB on defense this fall. Pretty sure he'd get some solid offers if he showed that he can play there.

Yeah, he's called "Chip".
He made a very good decision. Good luck Jaeden.

No reported offer. Graham, like other CO players like Hasselbach and Martin I'd love to see play at CU but with limited scholarships to give to fill our depth I would have to concede them getting full rides elsewhere versus accepting a PWO opportunity. Similar to Austin Berk last year. I think he'll have a great career and represent the state of Colorado well but we just don't have the room.
I know his brother and was kind of telling him the same thing. Jaeden is one of those "want" guys for us not one of the "needs". That is no slight to his talent or his ability, we just lack in so many areas that we need to fill some holes before we bring in guys like Jaeden. I hope he tears it up at Yale and am so happy he got a scholarship opportunity there.

Wait! Free ride??? The Ivies can't/don't give athletic schollies! Hope he likes that dreary New England weather and bugs....lots and lots of bugs..
Yeah . . . wink, wink. Yale's endowment means Mr. Graham and his family won't have to pay much for his education. Sure New Haven's not Boulder (****, it's not even Cambridge), but a Yale degree still opens some doors.
If he is good enough that he would have contributed at CU he will likely be a multiple year starter at Yale.
Would have been nice to have him walk-on but if he were my kid I'd be looking up flights to New Haven as we speak. Let him go have fun playing football, get a Yale education, have an opportunity to network with the kids of some of the most powerful and influential people in the country, and maybe even end up married to the daughter of a multi-millionaire.
