Rivals hasn't picked up on the CU offer, but their recent article on Traylor show us as being firmly in the mix.

"I kind of have a top nine and Michigan State is in it," the 6-4, 210-pound Traylor said. "The schools would be Wisconsin, Michigan State, Michigan, Cincinnati, Kentucky, Colorado, Arizona, Kansas and Minnesota."

Maybe a game at Ohio State in 2011 will help. This would be a major recruiting win for the Buff.

It's now a Top 8 (Kentucky has been dropped). He's probably going to wait until late in the season to commit.

We need to get Traylor to Boulder and show him something different than Big 10 country. Our campus will blow him away.

We need a pass rusher in the worst way. Would be a very good get.

hate to beat a dead horse, but we need a better DLine coach in the worst way. I think Bandison actually has gotten the tackles to be decent, but he can't coach pass rushing...or at least to this point, he hasn't shown that he can.

The tackles are undersized though. Hopefully the next DL coach will be much better.

Traylor has committed to Wisconsin.
