'20 AZ WR Brenden Rice (SIGNED to COLORADO)

IMO, that QB is already blossoming. He was very impressive against us and Cal (especially for a true frosh). I watched him against Cal and repeatedly thought "this guy is going to be a pain in the ass for the next few years"
that would hurt

So we assume he’s gone if the latest update is crystal ball to ASu right?
many conflicting crystal balls...
Yup...but perhaps adding fuel to a budding REAL rivalry as opposed to the forced Utah thing.
If he were a 5* player at a position of need, losing him would be a concern. However, he is not a 5* player and this is a position of strength now and for the foreseeable future for the Buffs. He is a nice-to-have. Losing a lower rated CB, Safety or LB would be a bigger loss overall, IMO
CU ain't in a position to look down upon high 3* players at any position.
Using that same way of looking at it, I’d be even more concerned. That’s our best recruited position and we might lose out on a non 5* to a school that hasn’t done well in recent years. What would we expect for other positions then? Yikes.
That said, hopefully he knows CU is the place to be and he joins us and kicks ass.
There is a tremendous variance between saying there are more critical positions of need and saying anyone is looking down upon him.
Does he not want endorsement deals in Colorado?
He’d be the second highest rated recruit in the entire CU class at the moment. Downplaying him choosing ASU simply because we have some solid potential at his position is foolish. He is exactly the caliber recruit this program desperately needs to pull in on a consistent basis at all positions.
Losing him to ASU is much worse then losing to Michigan as CU will have to face him for the next 4-5 years at ASU.
There is not a single position that could not be upgraded by players of Rice's caliber though. It might not be the biggest loss in the class, but we need any kind of positive momentum we can get right now.

Are there any recent ones like in the last week that have him coming to us?

Has Adam changed his?
No, this is what Adam tweeted out a few hours ago. Typically means good news for Buffs, but obviously he’s not privy to the most up to date info.
This was also from a few hours ago from Miller, who is pretty tight with Rice. I’m wondering if the CBs for ASU are pure guesses based on him being at ASU practice and Rice tweeting out “I’ve decided” after.

If he does end up picking ASU I think we can all agree that Chev is plenty capable of adding another good player. Obviously it hurts when you miss out on a guy who put that high of a priority on but he has shown he can overcome these types of situations. Hopefully he picks up though
15 hard penalty for premature moral victory.

Sounds like a coin flip. If there's one thing the Buffs have nailed in the last 3-4 years, it is the coin flip. He comin'
