Okereke has picked up several offers in the last couple weeks, including one from the Buffs. Really good athlete (40 time is accurate) who has been offered as both a TE and OLB. I think he could be an impact player at TE for us.

New Rivals article. http://colorado.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1502714

We're in his early top 3.

 

[Duff Man]

Good news. If you can't tell, I think Okereke is a really good player.:wink2:

 

[boydbuff]

Dude looks like a beast already and nice wheels for his size, especially for a TE. Given how weak our depth chart is at TE he could play immediately.

 

[Duff Man]

He has blown up. USC just offered.

He has blown up. USC just offered.

Is SC limited to 15 scholarships this year again?

 

[Duff Man]

They are hoping for 20 with several early enrollees.

 

[lawdogg]

Picked up an Oregon offer as well.

Didn't make his top six.

Didn't make his top six.

Where did he announce his top-6? Don't suppose you can tell me if Boise State made it in?

I fully expect him to choose either USC or Oregon, but hope springs eternal.

 

[Ozbuff]

So we were top 3, then he blew up, now we're not in consideration. Sounds about right.

Boise State didn't make the cut either. Northerwestern's Rivals site reported his top 6 yesterday morning. Off the top of my head, it was them, Vandy, Washington, Oregon, and USC but I can't remember the 6th.

 

[White_Rabbit]

Last one was Cal iirc. He's big on academics, hence the inclusion of Vandy and NW.

But the ducks?

 

[cmgoods]

Picked up a Stanford offer

 

[cmgoods]

Stanford is believed to be the favorite.

 

[cmgoods]

Announcing next weekend.

 

[cmgoods]

Stanford it is.

Big day for Stanford with Okereke, Joey Alfieri and Kirk Tucker commitments

 

[nocoolnamejim]

When you get right down to it, I can never really blame any prospect for choosing Stanford. Big time football program, Pac-12 conference AND Ivy League academics? That would sell me if it was either me or a kid of mine.
