Please. The day we land a 4 star HS DT will be the best day ever.

 

[BuffLuke80]

Very stout youngster, yes please.

Was a standout at the Oakland Nike Opening today.

Measured in a 6'3"/293 and cemented his status as one of the top defensive line prospects on the west coast.

Had a lot of family go there - would be really cool to land him. Back in the day, most peeps went to Cal.

I assume you mean you had a lot of family that went to Pittsburg HS?

Correct - very interesting area / high school. I hope it’s gotten much better since then.

Back in the day (1992-93) I was working as an electrician for a company. One of the developments we worked was in Pittsburg. Entire neighborhoods razed and walls put up making gated communities right next to buildings with laundry lines stretched everywhere. Like making five star hotels next to shantytowns. It was interesting seeing the constant change of old to new there.

Apparently grew up a fan of UCLA and nearly committed there last summer, but the new staff has not really reached out, so the door is wide open.

Hope they continue to slow play him.

I approve of this.

Boom! Good news!

Drake is definitely going to get his chance to show his value as a recruiter right away.

Needless to say, I'll lose my mind if Bandes commits to CU.

Sorry Buffnik, but when I read this post, a Dan Quayle quote came to mind.

"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."

I'm sure you will do something horrible to me in retaliation, and I deserve it.

Don't be surprised if your AB name changes from "WarBuff" to "Potatoe" at some point.

Was afraid of something like that

If the Buffs can get big and talented up front the defense will be scary.

 

[CULifer]

Heck yes please. I'm on the Bandeswagon.

 

[BuffUp]

DL like this stud with our DB's...OH My.

 

[GoonieBuff]

I can't stop looking at those arms. Damn!

Adam has an article up about Bandes' official visit and recruitment. It's a VIP article but has plenty of great info for anyone who has a sub:

This is going to be a long process and probably a February signing, it looks like. Glad that Drake and CU seem to have done a great job connecting with him and his family.
