Having graduated from CU and presently a student at Memphis, I can personally recommend 4 years at CU at the foot of the Rocky Mountains versus 4 years on the east bank of the Mississippi River. CU has a special collective excitement and high energy around campus, where as Memphis has very much a commuter school vibe.
Plus Folsom field on the campus is awesome compared to the Liberty Bowl which is like 5miles down the road in an industrial park. I don't even know where the Memphis practice fields or athletic facilities are but surely they pale to the Champions Center and IPF.
Only positive for Memphis is the local food, so good. Other than that as a city pretty meh
Was he told to look elsewhere?
Come on down Bisharat!
Best of luck to him. This is one of the only times I don't find myself mad at a commit flipping to another school. I guess signs pointed to this and now the table could be set for someone else to take this spot...

Good luck to him. He was going to be a LB here and is a RB recruit at Memphis most likely. Still, we were the only P5 offer. Not really a huge loss IMO.

Exactly. Good move for Taylor since he wants to play running back, not linebacker like the Buffs project. Good for CU overall IMO since he seemed like a bit of a reach, given this is a smaller class, from the beginning. Best of luck to him with the Tigers.

I feel like the coaches should have been more patient and told the guys that were reaches that while they would be happy to have their commit, they have a limited class and they could potentially greyshirt or be asked to look somewhere that can take them immediately. Maybe they have. I see 2-3 other guys that haven't already said they will greyshirt that may be "pushed out" if the Buffs were to land some of these studs. Feel bad for the kids, but the Buffs have been taking too many potential guys and not enough guys with P5 talent/offers. Good to see some buzz this late in recruiting and some studs we just haven't got since mid-way through Hawkins disastrous tenure.

I get the impression that the coaches are being honest with these guys and helping them find more ideal situations well before signing day. That's a lot more than can be said for other programs out there.
I am probably less connected to recruiting than most here but that is a sense I get too. I also feel like things shifted with DC and maybe another coming on board. We were taking solid kids into the program but then something shifted in our ability to recruit that opened some opportunities for the team to pick up higher ranked recruits. If the staff then went back to a few of the early commits and let them know what they were trying to do I think that was a respectable move.
