2017 Colorado Roster (with 2018 commits)
- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
I really hope not.
That's probably the closest comparison, although Demaryius Thomas is 6'3" 236 right now. I doubt Huntley puts on another 10-15 and runs a 4.3-4.4, though.Nah, bro
Really hope to see what Huntley's high pointing looks like at this level. His frame reminds me a lot of DeVante Parker if he has the high pointing skill, he will be a nightmare of a redzone threat just like DVP.
Bro Boston was a no doubter imho. I think there are plenty guys that are who aren't talked about too.
Buffnik, any chance you could update page 1. Thanks!
What's not updated?
Dimitry + Abrams.
Added to commits along with Hailassie.

Thank you!
Removed NJ Falo from the roster.
That puts us at 84 guys heading into camp.
What would you guys do with that open scholarship?
Could have Tony Brown enroll for the fall semester and spend the fall on scout team while taking more credits than he can at a JUCO.
Could have either Roddick or Sami enroll for the fall instead of grayshirting.
Could award a scholarship to a walkon (Trent Headley would be my guess because I think he plays a lot this year at ILB anyway).

Either walk on or Roddick/Sami. My preference would be Sami. Getting a big DL kid like that on campus and in the weight room is priority #1, IMO
Bring in a JC DT/DE or LB.
Barring any additional attrition, do we have any more scholarships to offer? It looks like with the 19 current commitments our number for next year is already at 85.
There will be more attrition. Always is. I'd expect 5ish more additions to the 2018 scholarship roster.
So two WRs convert to CB with sizes of 6'2" 185 (Rakestraw) and 6'0" 185 (Udoffia). Like it
Moving Coleman from DE to OLB on the roster. He's going to slot into the Jimmie Gilbert role this year.
Also, let's hope that Hamilton is ok. An injury makes it even more likely that he will redshirt. That wouldn't be a bad thing at all for the roster balance.

Always thought that's what we were recruiting him for, but I thought it didn't work out a few years ago? Coleman...
Hamilton - I wonder if he's showing up, at least raw talent wise. This guy got zero interest from others. Of course, so did Purcell and Isaiah Lewis and they both are getting noticed early.

When was Udoffia a WR?
We were in a 4-3 when we recruited Coleman as a WDE in that system. Also happened with Mathewes the following year. They've struggled a bit to find their right fit for the current defense.
My fault. For some reason I thought he was originally recruited as a WR. Looking back at his recruiting thread, it looks like they liked him there but told him there were too many for him to get reps and that they wanted him as a CB. My mistake.
Walk-on reward. Give those guys hope!!! There's really no debate, unless we were desperate due to an injury.
Roddick and Sami would both be behind big time if they came in right now. Guys have been working together for a few weeks. They wouldn't be able to join practices until after school starts (105 maximum is hit). See you boys in January!
Added benefit:
If you can keep Roddick and Sami off campus (but totally committed) until January, they get a full year extra. This can be a big help for academic reasons as well, as your first semester of college does not occur during the season. It also gives you an extra semester to finish up, which means more flexibility in scheduling of classes, etc. This can be a big help to about any incoming frosh, but especially if the frosh will have academic challenges, including those that are choosing engineering or pre-med types of majors (Isaac Miller, DerekMac to name two who grey-shirted on their way to Med School). Sami has to learn how to play DL as he never got coaching. That's best in the Spring. Roddick has to pull off what Edwards just did, which is get in shape.
I remember that, but I also seem to recall debate about Coleman being an OLB when we switched.
