'17 CA CB Morrell Osling III (Verbal to UCLA)

[Jeric]

Decommitted

But coaching turnover in Boulder, namely with defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt and cornerbacks coach Charles Clark, plus increased interest from other Pac-12 schools has Osling taking a different position in his recruitment, choosing to back away from his committed status.
"My commitment to Colorado has changed," said Osling. "They're still in my top choices though."

****in A, mayne.

Is this a big enough wake up call to get a d-coordinator or nah?

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

Is this a big enough wake up call to get a d-coordinator or nah?

No, but I think a strongly-worded letter from Allbuffs informing Mac that he doesn't currently have one should be, though.

 

[Back-the-Buffs]

No, but I think a strongly-worded letter from Allbuffs informing Mac that he doesn't currently have one should be, though.

I vote Nik to draft this letter and we can all sign it. That should do it. Maybe we need to send one to RG too?

 

[BuffUp]

In another thread someone stated we have not lost a recruit due to defensive coaches leaving...well, There You Go.

 

[BuffUp]

I also remember when other programs didn't want our recruits, and the kids had no other options but CU. My how times have changed.

 

[DrunkRalphie]

Is this a big enough wake up call to get a d-coordinator or nah?

Mac's probably totally oblivious.

 

[BUFFS14]

You are a ****ing idiot if you think he is oblivious.

 

[buffaholic]

Everything coach Clark knows about coaching or playing DB, he learned from Mac. That counts for something in the end.

 

[DrunkRalphie]

You are a ****ing idiot if you think he is oblivious.

Sorry, sarcasm...

 

[DBT]

Sorry, but getting the right staff is more important than losing a recruit or two. But, yeah. It is frustrating.

 

[BUFFS14]

No worries. I agree it is frustrating. I have faith that the right hire will be made.

How many recruits are acceptable to lose?

 

[Sykobuff]

How many recruits are acceptable to lose?

No more

 

[DBT]

How many recruits are acceptable to lose?

I didn't say that.

 

[jizzrag85]

UGHHHHHHHH

 

[Jeric]

UCLA

 

[jizzrag85]

Lose 3 recruits in a week? Hey, no big deal.

 

[buffspokerams]

It feels like since December the momentum of the program has been falling.

We win 10 games, have top of the line facilities complete, and still the momentum feels like it's declining in the recruit department.

I wish Osling nothing but the best, except when he plays CU.

 

[BuffUp]

damn

 

[KyleM.]

That stinks

 

[OkieBuffster]

Lose 3 recruits in a week? Hey, no big deal.

Who is the third?

 

[MinturnBuff]

Do you think we can go back in for him with a new DC and get the reflip... you know Mora was just spewing all sorts of hate on us to this kids for the past month

 

[bigbang2]

Good luck to him at UCLA.

 

[bpc5180]

Been a laughable 1.5 months. Hope the coaches rally this class.

 

[Shldr2Shldr]

Who is the third?

Newman, Osling, and I am guessing he is including KD Nixon who is making an announcement this evening between CU and Baylor.

 

[jizzrag85]

Newman, Osling, and I am guessing he is including KD Nixon who is making an announcement this evening between CU and Baylor.

Yeah, I was including Nixon. I don't really think there is an "announcement," I think it's fairly obvious he's going to leave for Baylor. His friend left for Baylor and de-committed in a tweet he left up for all of 2 minutes. Then Nixon all of a sudden is interested in Baylor for a few weeks and instead of "de-committing" he just says he has his "final decision." He already made his final decision months ago, there isn't any final decision to make regarding colorado. If he's not flipping, what is there to announce? He's gone.

Just saw some of the Nixon updates, maybe I'm wrong. I'd be glad to be wrong.

 

[bpc5180]

Pointed to academics as the reason for the switch to UCLA.
