Very encouraging that we are at least being considered by a top prospect. He's visiting IU at some point, so hopefully we can get him to visit Boulder.

I feel like we're the ugly girl at the prom shrieking about how the captain of the football team said hi to us.
Yeah, it's nice to get considered, and if he decides to come to CU I'll faint and hit the ground with a smile on my face but I can't wait for the day when we're the kind of program that doesn't swoon over mere consideration from prospects.
If you're going to use this already overused analogy, you should put it in the proper context. He didn't just "say hi" to us. If 247's listing of Bama, OSU, IU and CU as his only "Medium interest" schools means we are in his final 4-5, that's more like the captain of the football team asking us to dance.
Either way, being mentioned in a top recruit's final choices, along side Alabama and Ohio State, is big news.
Would love to hear he has taken the next step and scheduled an OV to Boulder.
Said hi and slapped our ass?
Lightning?
Can we just kidnap him once he gets here and hide him until LOI day?

Now we just need to grab him and say: Shut up and Dance with me!

always a pipe dream... still tho... 
So it may not be over.
If we could flip a kid from Wisconsin to CU it would be huge. Sign that we are finally winning some recruiting battles.
He would have a much better shot at early playing time in Boulder than in Madison.
Plus, he wouldn't be in Wisconsin.
While I agree on the state/climate as a whole, Madison is routinely ranked one of the top college towns in the country. Could be much worse.
You convinced me, moron. He should go to Madison. No shi.t.
Madison is the tits and Badger games are pretty cool, but I wouldn't want to live there for 4-5 years. Once CU gets back to relevant football, the party school/top college town ranking will be on par with Madison again.
Very good news.
I believe that with the new facilities that "just get them to visit the campus and they'll pick CU" is going to be true again.
This year, I think that I think it will open eyes for a wait-and-see that the program is on the rise with results on the field. With that, I'd expect some pretty serious OVs to tour the completed facilities later in the year.
In short, I'm not lacking confidence on Watts or anyone who has expressed interest if CU wins this season.
Individual recruiters make a difference.
"Watts committed to the Badgers during his unofficial visit on Saturday. The four-star safety chose Wisconsin over other finalists Alabama, Ohio State, Colorado, and South Florida.
Badger247 is told that Watts' family had already planned and paid for the visit prior to his commitment, following his commitment to Wisconsin on Saturday, Watts went on the record stating his recruitment had come to an end.
"My recruitment is over with," he said. "I'm definitely relived. I'm so happy, beyond exciting. Wisconsin is everything I want."
Ehh... Don't get any hopes up.

I wouldn't expect much to happen for his visit this week but it is always good to get a kid out here in the summer to see how nice boulder is. Then see what happens with the respective teams over the course of the season. It will be much easier to flip him before signing day if he has seen the campus and new facilities.
That and other top prospects tend to take notice when a guy like Watts visits Boulder. We need more buzz.
Q - the food cart
Going to be a great weekend for him to visit
Damn the torpedoes, Mr Watts, full speed ahead to Boulder!
