What's wrong with grayshirting? I actually think most OL should grayshirt. Watanabe had a bad injury, why would you want to start his eligibility clock?

Weird???? Greyshirting is a brilliant strategy to prevent burning up a year of eligibility or a RS, yet allow a kid time to recover from illness or injury, make better grades or just mature by getting older and physically bigger. Then he can come in for spring ball as a FR and have a full intro to the system before fall camp. Nothing could be better for some kids.: Gillam, McCartney, Lisella.....its worked well.
^^This^^
The kids we have been greyshirting haven't been because of academics. You have kids like Watanabe and Miller who had injuries to recover from. Delay entry by a semester and you add the flexibility of them getting extra time to recover plus they get an extra spring training to receive S&C work and still have a RS year available. Miller, Lisella, and McCartney were all guys who were not going to play first year anyways due to body development. Again add a year of growth without burning the RS.

I don't know what the "after" photo looked like here, but hopefully we see it on Friday in Denver.
Are not or never were? I think Dempsey's take is "never were." I have no opinion, really. I prefer to bring in academically sound kids but don't mind bringing in the "at risk" kid every so often.
We definitely ran into admissions standards issues in the past. Nebraska often allowed partial qualifier kids that CU and many other schools wouldn't allow. When the Big 12 formed, Texas was able to get enough schools to agree that partial qualifiers were no longer allowed in the conference. Probably the only good thing Texas ever has done. The Nubs **** bricks and TO rode off into the sunset.

Don't get me wrong...if it helps it is alright by me. I just see a lot more of it with MM.
Compared to whom? MM has a couple in each of the last two classes. Prior coaches had a couple in each of their classes.
Just admit you weren't paying attention.........and we'll forgive you.......maybe.

Trying to study the CSU depth chart, which can be found here (don't know how official it is):
http://www.ourlads.com/ncaa-football-depth-charts/depth-chart/colorado-state/90360
I can see the injury problems that go deep into right tackle...even w/o injuries the right side of the line seems very undersized.
The DL is undersized as well which is not what I recalled. Cory James is listed as a starting end, when I thought of him as LB. He is apparently injured and might not be cleared in time for the game.

I think the buffs are going to lose on purpose too.
It's out. Tapatalk won't let me upload it because it's too big a photo. ..

Depth Chart is out http://www.cubuffs.com/fls/600/gameday/2014/depth_chart.pdf?DB_OEM_ID=600
Henington done for season w/ knee injury.
Interesting to note:
Fields has really climbed the depth chart rapidly
Adkins is starting RB
Crawley won starting job opposite Henderson

****.
Officially 24 starts lost to injury so far this year (Bell and Henington). Not one snap of football played yet. Really hurts losing Henington. Starting a true soph and a RS frosh at DE. Not a single upperclassman on the depth chart for DE. Hell, not a single RS sophomore on the damn depth chart.

Didn't even list Center there. Guess we won't see a lot of two TE sets this year (nor should we..)
fify. There will be a big difference between #4 and #5. I think the 4 will whittle down to 3 though.
Don't think there's a big difference between 1 and 4
Gotta think it's a good sign for RB depth. He's in the mix at Kick Returner so they're trying to get him on the field.
Awuzie starting at FS.
Awuzie is also nickel #1... looks like Terror will come in at S when we go to nickel.
MacIntyre really doesn't want Chido to come off the field, dude makes plays and is also the starter at NB
Easy. O: Spruce. D: Gillam. Keep an eye out for Philip Lindsay and Shay fields on O and Chidobe Awuzie on D. Playmakers.
As for someone you should really fear.. Josh Tupou
