Terrance Lang – DE (USC commit) visited 1/28. Announces 2/1.
Casey Roddick - decommitted from Cal. Visited 1/28. Announces 2/1.
Jared Poplawski - ASU commit visited 1/28. 'Holic predicts BNG (late Monday)....
Josh Falo – TE USC & Colorado - decision on 2/1.

Committed elsewhere:

Isaac Slade-Matautia – OLB, committed to Oregon on Jan 21.
Jalen Harris – DE, Decommit from AZ, visited ND 1/27. Re-committed to AZ.

Others (not expected to be black-n-gold):
Damion Daniels – DT, visited NU then CU, UTSA also in play. 'Holic predicts Nubs.
K’Lavon Chaisson – DE, visited CU (1/23), decision on 2/1. 'Holic predicts Uterus.

How many schollies are left 3 or 4? Isn't falo announcing this weekend?

Technically, we have 2 left to stay under the 85 based on what we know today, plus whatever number Mac is putting on it for probable attrition. I'd say 4 max, which I think takes us to 28 for the class, which is what Adam has been stating.

Hope they are very selective on these last 4.

DL, S are a must.

I don't see any of the following:

Casey Roddick
Noah Elliss
Elijah Gates
Deommodore Lenoir

Names that we have been linked to at one time or are still in play. Anyone know if any of these guys, especially Elliss, are still targets?

Roddick seems to be someone we're in the mix for. Here was the most recent update I could find (Jan 15 on 247s), which means he should definitely be on the target list in the OP and also suggests that we're well positioned vs competition - no new visits set up yet, though:
Colorado, San Diego State, Boise State, and San Jose State have reached out to Casey Roddick, a three-star offensive linemanw ho decommitted from Cal Saturday afternoon, he informed 247Sports Sunday morning.
As far as Oregon interest, Roddick said he's tried to reach out to the new Oregon staff but that they've not responded as of now.
Roddick said last time he heard from anyone at Oregon was in April of 2016.​
Elliss, I believe, is on the back burner until the semester's over and his final transcript is done.
Gates I haven't seen anything about but think he's a strong Oregon lean (which is why UCLA went so hard at Osling).
Lenoir made some comment that made it sound like CU wasn't really recruiting him. He could go back with Oregon or choose one of the places he's doing an OV -- Nebraska, then Miss State and maybe trying to fit in USC by having 2 visits the final week.

So awesome how exciting recruiting has become again for CU. Gonna be fun between now and signing day.
 
Anyone know what's going on with Kaegun Williams? With Gordon leaving the team would that open a scholarship at RB? If so I would love to see this kid in BnG.
 
In years past CU was scrambling. If anything, they took some good players early on and might not have enough room for some great players late. Good problem to have.

You have to hope for the Falo/Cotton package (still think it's going to happen). It sounds like they're still recruiting Newman and maybe Roddick, but hopefully they can add one more on the line. Buffs have to get 1-2 more DL (preferably DT's), but then all the schollies are used up. That leaves Chaisson (long shot that you take regardless), Long, Edwards, Barnes, etc almost without a spot even if they wanted to go Buff.

One more good year next year and the foundation will be in place for something really special.
 
Totally agree. We have space problems potentially. I'd say there's a spot for Falo/Cotton, one safety from above, and Chaisson no matter what. Probably Daniels, as we need a frosh NT. I don't see us taking more than 4, so there's a lot of moving parts here.

I don't think we are working hard to add another OL guy, it's Newman or next year. That's just my gut feel. I would be intrigued with Ford if I'm the staff. Looks like a versatile guy with huge upside.
 
Slade-Matautia to announce tonight at Polynesian Bowl or will he visit CU first?

The situation is that if ISM announces tonight then it's unlikely that he picks CU.

However, if he doesn't announce then it's a good chance that CU can get his last visit next weekend and win this recruiting battle.

In other words, no news is good news tonight.

Appreciate the update.
 
There's a bunch of these guys I'd like to have, but there's no room. The biggest question is what to do if guys like Chaisson, Falo, Daniels, Elliss, Andrews, etc. wanted to be Buffs. Can they create more attrition at that point?
 
Do we have room for Joseph and Cotton/Falo at the moment? I also heard that Mac wants to keep a scholly open for a grad transfer
