Not so sure about that, what is his position?

Do you mean regarding his rating? Or are you also referring to whether or not you'd offer?
They go hand-in-hand.
Is our lack of an offer due to the fact that the staff feels it has enough running backs? I honestly hope not. Any time you can upgrade speed and athleticism at any position, regardless of depth, you do it, IMO. Well except for a kicker or punter, I suppose.
My 2 cents on Obinnah:
1. Looks like a very good athlete.
2. Good program at Grandview that develops talent and plays good CO competition.
3. Limited film and I'm not sure speed is verified (100M times reported from T&F in the 11.85 range make me nervous).
4. I'd love to see him attend the CU camp this summer and earn a scholarship there.

Picked up his first offer from UNCO.
Sound like he may be camping with the Buffs. But he's got a knee injury, so no contact. Also took an unofficial to Washington and sounds very interested. Didn't mention CU as a program that is recruiting him.

The Bears are a program that Obinnah is more than willing to learn about going forward.
"We haven't visited but we like them. We'll try to visit during the summer and check it out. They told me they would be at the CU and CSU camps so I'll see them there."

Very telling that he doesn't have other offers than the UNC one reported. Since the services rely on the players and their associates to report these sometimes that information isn't there but it is very rare. Why is a kid with his reported size and speed not on the radar of a bunch of upper level schools, or at least the MWC schools?
You would think that with that size and speed and a willingness to mix it up that he would at least be getting consideration as an athlete. Can't be due to lack of exposure since he is playing against some schools that are getting solid recruiting attention, people are seeing him on film.
Wonder what the story is here.

Well he doesn't run a 4.39 (or even close), for openers. My post above is one of my more regrettable ones on AB.
He'll get up again.

Really interesting how a kid with his early excitement could just fall off the table. He claimed that he had an electronic time that would make him elite but at his size if he was close to that time and without other issues we would be complaining about other schools poaching Colorado kids again. Either he lost a bunch of speed (which can happen) or there is something else going on for him to have no FBS offers.
Still would have like to have had him as a PWO in Boulder instead of Ft. Collins. He may not have RB speed but he is big enough to play LB and would be worth a look there.
