Some interest, but they were not wowed. Probably even less interest on the other side from O'Connor. It happens.

Any idea if the coaches are after any of the in-state linemen still or have they given up? I still can't believe Thurston is going to Nebraska of all places.

I haven't looked this week since I've been on the road for work, but I heard last weekend that the Kozan window may still be open and he hadn't scheduled an OV for the weekend of the 27th.

Picked up an Ohio State offer. Surprised he hasn't committed yet.

Pretty amazing class from the state of Colorado in terms of offers.

This kid has got offers from ND, Michigan, Ohio State....
Kozan has some killer offers.
Callahan has his pick of schools.
We got a TE going to Oregon....
Heck, we got a QB that may end up getting 5-stars.

Probably the deepest class I've seen. And I like the two Buffs we got out of this class.

But Kozan and O'connor really came on their Senior Year.

Too bad we had an idiot at the helm while these kids were HS underclassmen....would have been nice to land one or two of those OL....
 
I completely agree. I never want to hear another colorado hs kid say I can't get recruited because I live in Colorado.

Kids in Colorado go offered by 54 different D1 schools:

Air Force, Arizona, Arizona State, Arkansas, Auburn, Baylor, Boise State, Boston College, Cal, Clemson, Colorado, Colorado State, Connecticut, Duke, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Kansas State, LSU, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi State, Nebraska, New Mexico, New Mexico State, North Carolina, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Ohio, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Penn State, Pitt, San Diego State, South Carolina, Stanford, Syracuse, TCU, Tennessee, Tulsa, UCF, UCLA, UNLV, USC, Utah, Utah State, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, Washington, Washington State, Wyoming

tO$U fans on the MB are saying he committed. No surprise here.

He is now listed as an Ohio State commit in his Rivals, Scout, ESPN and 247sports profiles. I'd say it's confirmed.

Best of luck to Joey. Represent CO well.
 
I will be noble about this....I will.....I will......I will be noble about this.....but I still hate seeing these kids make decisions to go somewhere else
 
OK, I'll say it - this is a kid who had offers from all over the place. He committed to Penn State before that program was imploded, then committed to Ohio State. Those are two of the more tradition rich programs in the country and have had a lot more success than we've had recently. Yet, somehow, our coaches don't have much of an interest in this kid? :wtf:


Maybe it's a situation where he told the CU coaches not to bother, but our absolute lack of success at recruiting blue chip offensive linemen has taken on absurd qualities. We're not good enough to turn our noses up at a guy like this.
 
Anyone heard where he's headed?

Ohio State announces two players no longer with the team: LB Connor Crowell (not medically cleared) & OL Joey O'Connor (transfer).
Click to expand...

And this from the Ohio State 247 site (free message board):

Just received from Ohio State:

"Ohio State University sophomore linebacker Connor Crowell, from Waldorf, Md., and North Point High School, and freshman offensive lineman Joey O’Connor, from Windsor (Colo.) High School, will no longer play football for the Buckeyes. Crowell, who has had two surgeries while at Ohio State for a previous injury that occurred while in high school, will not be medically cleared to play by the OSU medical staff. O’Connor, who red-shirted the 2012 season, has requested a transfer to be closer to home."

Would like to keep updated on this. Will he go to CU or end up at Northern Colorado like Willingham.
 
I'm assuming he has already used a redshirt year, correct?

I would love for him to come to CU.
 
Originally, O’Connor had his knee scoped and cleaned out after it bothered him during the summer.
Joe said his son’s left knee then required microfracture surgery.

2 surgeries
 
I'm not sure Boulder is a fit

The change in culture coming from a Colorado small town, you know Windsor and Eaton, farming community to metropolitan Columbus. All the kids that he deals with are not from small communities,” Joe said. “They’re from Cincinnati, they’re from Columbus, they’re from Cleveland, they’re from Fort Lauderdale. That’s basically his biggest challenge is meshing with those metropolitan-type kids. He’s listed as the country kid coming from Colorado out west. It was definitely a culture shock all across the board.”

Somebody help me out. What's the deal with micro-fractures? What makes them so bad?
