Tidbit From Thorburn

[Goose]

I'm a little late on this because I was out of town this weekend, but in his latest mailbag, someone asked Thorburn about 2013 recruiting. Confirms what we're all suspecting, but he likes our odds to land a big gun apparently.

Question: Our 2013 basketball recruiting is really taking shape and looking like it could be a good year for the Buffaloes. I know we have limited scholarships to offer and stars don't mean everything to Boyle and co, but what do you think the chances are we bring maybe a potential 5 or 4 star into the mix? Maybe Isaac Hamilton and a Marcus Lee or Jabari Bird? And the potential of another Top 25 class. -- David M.
Ryan's answer: David, Great question. Tad Boyle has said that because of the limited number of scholarships available in 2013 (Sabatino Chen is the only senior on the current roster) the coaching staff is concentrating on landing a quality perimeter player. I would expect CU to land one of the highest ranked shooting guards in that class. The 2014 class could turn out to be a top-25 class because there are some high-end prospects coming up in Colorado and the program has clearly established itself as a destination for Southern California recruits.

And considering how intelligent that email was about the big guns that CU is going after, I'm positive that it's an AllBuffer who sent that in.
