Jon Wilner talked about this in his "Colorado get to know your new coach" piece a while ago and repeatedly mentions Raciti as the type of defensive player this staff really likes. For those of you unfamiliar with him Raciti was all Wac 1st team last season as a sophomore playing DT for SJSU at 286 lbs and projects currently as the mid-round NFL prospect.
Raciti came out of highschool at 6'4" 240 and played tightend/both ways. Draw what similarities you want to: Reed, Gilliam, Brown & Keeney. They all basically share the same frame and are smooth athletes, I am not saying one way or another whether i think this approach will work but it certainly looks like we have a profile of the type of player we want and that we have a strong focus on our front 6 at the moment.
rep to anyone who can find his 40 or video from HS.
