Hmm... is he sure he doesn't want to take a crack at QB?

Hope he changed positions he is listed as a QB!
https://umterps.com/roster.aspx?path=football&roster=222&sort=position
He is a QB there. Supposedly wants to come here and will switch to TE.
Good size and likely very agile at 6'-3" and 217 lbs. If he trains to be a TE, he can likely get up to 230 or 235.
I would think that he can get immediate eligibility since his family will be moving to Colorado. This is how a long list of kids are now able to get eligible.
He's a walk-on, pretty sure that gets you immediate eligibility.
He is technically a Transfer? He is on Maryland's roster, and no matter what you were, you would normally have to sit out?
That was not the case last I checked, which makes no sense .
Thought that was a rule, guess not.

I have seen nothing official on the S&C coach for this staff, but this would appear to be a pretty good indicator that Drew Wilson is sticking around in that role:
FootballStaff Scoop is not always plugged into program minutia, but they do not list Wilson as being confirmed on the staff, either.

Pretty sure it was confirmed a couple weeks ago that Katie Bason and Drew Wilson were sticking around.
Yeah but does anybody know if Katie was retained???
Is she on campus yet?
Flight tracker shows a flight to Lawrence. I think Miles is after her!
Starting to think Da Prato is going to get the bump to full time TE coach.
Unsure of his coaching chops, but he is does seem to be an active and persistent recruiter.

Why do you think that?
STOP TRYING TO RUIN CHRISTMAS
Gut feeling. Twitter follows. Recruiting involvement.
From his CU bio:
College Player:
2000 New Mexico Highlands QB
2001 Chabot CA C.C. QB
2002-2003 UL-Monroe QB
College Coach
2004-2005 UL-Monroe (GA)
2006 UL-Monroe (Dir of Operations / Recruiting Coordinator)
2007-2012 Sacramento State (WR Coach + added ST Coordinator 2010-2012)
2013-2015 Montana State (TE coach & ST Coordinator)
2016-2018 Colorado (Dir of Quality Control - Offense)
When he has filled in during staff changes as an on-the-road recruiter, his areas have been: Dallas-Fort Worth, Las Vegas, Northern California, Southern California, Seattle and the Kansas Junior Colleges.
Still only 36 or 37 years old.

A year ago I would have been very happy with that hire. Now I am hoping for more.
The TE spot should be one of our top recruiting coaches.
Unless DePrato comes in on the cheap and we can hire two coaches with big recruiting upside, I’d be disappointed.

The support staff folks are popular with the players. It's a solid group. Gonna be interesting to see who is ultimately retained and how their titles/ roles might change.

Appreciate the info Nik, but you could have just put "everywhere" instead of listing areas individually.
I suspect upgrades (and expansion!!) are coming to this group. At the very least, I expect a substantial overhaul to the way their activities are structured and managed. They do things differently down South.
For comparison, here's what Georgia's support staff looks like:
This doesn't include the open positions for Offense Analyst and Defense Analyst since we hired those guys away and the positions haven't been filled yet.

47 interns worked overnight on Fridays amassing highlight clips for the coaches to use as part of SM or e-mail contacts on Saturday morning before game day activities. Nice way for a recruit to wake up.
Thank you.
Suspect they get substantial support from shared services such as Nutrition and Wellness, Video, Academics, etc.
Oh yeah. There are also positions within the AD.
Check out the size of their AD - particularly the Senior Staff, Athletic Training/ Sports Medicine, Georgia Bulldog Club and Student Services at this link: https://georgiadogs.com/staff.aspx
There is so much work to be done at CU to take the operation up to a championship level. I truly believe that the vision of RG is to build something like what UGA has which, like the Champions Center & IPF, will allow CU to compete on that level while also being smartly & efficiently designed to fit the needs at CU.
