Do not confuse him with Henderson. That guy is a complete d-bag and has never written a positive thing about the Buffs. **** Henderson.

ESPN reporting that Wes may announce at the UA game this Thursday, (probably not a real good thing for us). However, even if he does announce on Thursday, he mentions that he would still like to take some visits in January, so we should get our shot. Article also re-affirms that Jalen Cope-Fitz, though still committed to Southern Cal, will be visiting Boulder next month.

just to put this out there. Wasn't Embree saying something about the "silent commits" we have and he wanting them to make it public. Also, saying that taking your trips is ok but he is just wanting those guys to make it public because it may also help with the other recruits we are going after. I don't have inside info or anything. Just putting this out there. Would be nice if he is a "silent commit".
What are you "putting out there?" in other news the sky is blue, tebow sucks, and CU would welcome any 5 or 4 star recruit in the country

He was suggesting Wes Brown has already silently committed. That's a valid observation and could very well be true.
Taekwondo was trying to help draw an inference from JE's interview... you know, "connect the dots" without knocking you on the head with it.
In other news, someone still needs to practice his critical reading skills

Ya that is about the sum of it. I hope we have Wright and Rippy of course. One of the others like Powell is more likely than Wright. The other factor is JE's stated frustration that the silent commits want to take more visits, so I think that argues against Crawley being one.
Yuri and Rippy seem to enjoy being cagey... Reading the tea leaves, if a recruit is relaxed, that probably means they are not feeling uncertain, and thus have already decided. Who knows though. I was very encouraged by Embree's satisfaction with the class and him feeling his number one priority was to keep the recruits who have already committed.

Ya I hear that. I don't think anything can be counted on until they arrive on campus (considering qualifying issues too). Still, a silent commit is better than no commitment. JE's point was that he expected the silents to go public in the next week or two. (It sounded like he was saying, go public or CU is going to make other moves)
One reason why a recruit might give a silent commitment is because he isn't ready to face the extra scrutiny that comes after narrowing down from 5 schools. By keeping 5 offers alive, he doesn't really have to really have to tell anyone no. (if there are 30 schools offering, and a school doesn't make the 5 visits, then they usually don't put up much of a fight)
He might have a feeling about where he wants to go, but isn't sure how to defend it yet to his friends/family, especially if they are opinionated. This seems pretty passive, but these are just 17 year olds making the biggest decision of their young lives...

Tired of all of this....god damnit. Bring in the top kids, coach them up, and return CU to dominance....flashback to 1994.....asking too much?

Asking too little... Who are the future superstars? Who are the burnouts? A huge fraction of the players in the NFL were not 4 or 5 star recruits...
There is no way to judge the past, and expect anything certain in the future--most especially a few years of high school football. It raises all kinds of troubling questions I know. Best not to damn the questions, but to honor them. Perhaps the question might lead to some more understanding.. Who knows maybe even some more peace of mind.

I see what you did there....well done.
This what all us are dreaming about, but you just can't expect it to happen overnight. Sure you are tired of this, the world is not going to suddenly favor us just because of your tiring.
And yes, you are asking too much if you want it happen now.
Lot's of people think the situation for now is nowhere we should belong to and I totally agree. But you guys are keeping on saying irrational thing like "we have been ****ing waiting for 5 years and I am sick/tired/xxx of it, I want to see the dramatic improvement right now". Hey, current coaches are not responsible for the past 5 years and it's pretty unfair to vent your rant on previous scheme to the new one. They started from scratch just one year ago to some degree. Give them 3-5 years no matter what and then it's a good time to do evaluation.

I was joking.
Sweet!
Brown, from the state of Maryland, has taken one official visit so far and has two others planned.

Son of a b****!!!.. Why not Michigan, ND, Oregon, and Ohio State too....
He didn't sound all that thrilled. Don't see him going there.
Florida is the new UCLA. All show no go.
ummm, you are pretty premature there. I think FSU is a lot better example.
Texas A&M remains the best.
