Indeed. I won't lie though, I definitely thought he had iffy speed for a corner judging by his tape.

Think Positive and life will be Positive.
for some reason I now want taco bell.
How does 'The Albino Match' work in this context?

This guy was a huge get for us. He played like a stud last week vs USC as a true Frosh. He's long, fast, smart and really good already.
I don't know how this kid didn't have 4 stars and 40 offers. Didn't understand then, and definitely don't now.
Adam has some free stuff up on him at Rivals here.

bumping so some of you can see the free article at Rivals.
Worth the read. Oliver has made me unconcerned about our secondary next year despite losing a 4-year starter in KC from the CB1 spot.
Yes, but would've liked Sefo available to run that QB option up the middle.
Remember we came in on him fairly late. He was a guy who made a big jump between his jr. and sr. seasons in high school. With the way schools are going now it seems like a lot have already locked in on their prospects while they are still jrs.
Oliver not only looks like a kid who can play but also like a guy who hasn't come close to his ceiling. He could be a quality starter for us next year.
Had to be sweet for Isaiah to be part of a dismantling last night of the Sun Devils. Not recruited by either Arizona school, his only offers were us and New Mexico.
These are the types of recruiting stories that make no sense. Kid is tall, fast and rangy. Has great instincts. More than enough speed and size. Played at one of the more recruited programs in Phoenix (Brophy Prep. His Dad played at Oregon. Smart. Good character guy.
How did this kid fall to "lowly" Colorado?

Not that I remember. I thought he just wanted to go somewhere where he could do both football and track.
This. He was so lightly recruited in football that he thought track would be what paid his tuition.
Which meant that he would have to be a year on campus before he could decide whether to join the football as a walk-on. Buffs, particularly Bernardi, did a great job recruiting him.

We hit on a couple of good 2 or 3 stars.
He looks a lot bigger this year too, I remember asking the question in the Spring game "what is Oliver's weakness if he has one" and the only thing people had to say was he was really skinny. Well he looks big and strong out there so he will probably end up being the next great corner at Colorado.

Whenever I've seen Oliver play, I like how he does it. He can ball. Size doesn't look to be a problem now either. Talks about his work ethic, the strength folks as well.

Glad we were able to beat the Lobos for his signature. Hoping that's the last time I'll ever have to type that.
Bump
Over the next couple years how many fans in Arizona are going to be angry with their coaches (ASU and Zona) for not going after him?
It isn't a case of him just wanting to go out of state. In his case the in-state schools didn't bother going after him.

How did everyone but Colorado & New Mexico totally whiff on a talent like Isaiah?
Put him on John Ross tomorrow.
At the time, I remember thinking it can only be because he was assumed to be a track guy in college and was taken off the boards of other programs that recruit AZ. Otherwise it really doesn't make sense for an athlete of this level.

This staff is REALLY good at talent evaluation.
