Shone's recent pics show him in a Buffs uniform. I know that doesn't mean all that much, but he would be a nice addition for depth at a position that needs a bit of it.

The ticket market loves the Buffs. Check out the outrageous single ticket prices for each Folsom game after they went on sale today.

I think the glitz sell will backfire though.

Issiah Walker, a fairly large OT who committed to Purdue out of JUCO in January, decommitted officially today and seems to be interested in a Buffs offer that he very recently received.

Nothing ground breaking here, but I’ll skim every article that lists CU as #1. They also had the Trojans as #5. That game is going to be a serious buzzsaw for us.

This article is very fair to the Buffs. And yeah, USC is going to be loaded this season with an improved defense and an electric offense.Nothing ground breaking here, but I’ll skim every article that lists CU as #1. They also had the Trojans as #5. That game is going to be a serious buzzsaw for us.

Bring it. We may not win, but we finally won’t be worse at every position on the field and in the press box! And who knows? We are going to have, at least, a puncher’s chance in every game. Finally.

I'll be happy not being depressed 1 minute and 7 seconds into the game wondering what I could do the rest of the day instead.

Yeah, I'm going to get a lot less yardwork done this season.
Syracuse oriented article on his recruitment. Among many other things noted, it says he's got a CU visit planned for 6/23.

“Back on the market, Walker knows what he's looking for at his next landing spot.
‘Family atmosphere and a coach to push me to become the best I can be,"’ Walker said.”
This sounds like he just got off a call with HCP. lol
These coaches already have a very good idea of who they want, unlikely that somebody "pops up" in a camp that they didn't already know about and becomes a scholarship target.
Might be a few kids who they have had as plan B types or were on the fence about who could show enough to solidify an offer but I'd put this number pretty low.
Where the real impact could be is in PWOs.
They only get a certain number of PWO slots (can have any number of walk-ons but those beyond the PWO slots can't practice or do team activities until about when school starts) and we haven't heard about a lot of those being used yet.
Fair expectation based on what we have seen so far from the staff is that the PWO's Prime brings in will include a number of guys who would have been scholarship takes in the past. If you don't belong at this level or have a realistic chance of developing into that Prime doesn't want you around
Disagree. 400+ is a huge number. I think the chances that a couple show the athletic ability and dog mentality that CP is looking for is actually pretty high. Maybe not guys who will crack the two deep, but some scholarship players are never going to be more than special teams or scout team players.
They can tell quickly who got it and who doesn't have it
My daughter told me, junior year, she wanted to go to Syracuse. One of the few times I over-rode her desires on an important issue. She is now very happy living in Boulder and being a Buff, and thanks me for talking her out of NY. The winters off of Lake Erie, just add to the suckiness of that place.
Should be an easy choice for Issiah.
We aren't in disagreement. I said the number will be low, you said a couple which out of 400 is pretty low.
You correctly state than not every scholarship needs to go to a guy who will be a starter. They do though want guys who they see as contributing be that developing into a starter, providing quality depth, or worst case just pushing the starters to be better players in practice.
As stated I expect that the staff already has a few guys in mind that they want to see with their own eyes in the camp setting.
Key point thought is that just like everything else he does Prime isn't going to waste time and space on kids who can't or won't contribute in a real way to the program. The standards have been raised and it would be no surprise if they leave a space unused rather than fill it with somebody who isn't 100% about contributing to what they want to do.
Bringing in 400 is a huge effort, if they didn't expect to get something out of it they wouldn't do it but most of the 400 will be leaving with nothing more than a memory and a t-shirt.
Rudy. Rudy. Rudy.
Disagree 100%. There will be some studs that just "appear". Anyone who has ever been to these camps knows.
If they didn't hope for this they wouldn't be bringing these guys in but the odds on any one individual being that are very low.
If they find a couple worthy of bringing back they will be happy.
And again keep in mind that the standard has been set higher than it was.
They are more likely to find some PWOs out of this group than guys they offer scholarships but looking at the guys this staff has been bringing in (and chasing away) since they got here it is a very reasonable expectation that we will see multiple PWOs on next years team that are better football players than some of the guys we had on scholarship in recent seasons, we aren't taking scraps any more.
Best commitment announcement I've seen.
