BOULDER — They came in as freshmen in 2017, part of a recruiting class that Colorado head coach Tad Boyle predicted would have a significant impact on the program before their CU careers were over.
Today, four members of that group — McKinley Wright IV, Tyler Bey, D'Shawn Schwartz and Evan Battey — are the foundation of a Buffaloes team that is showing the potential of producing a very special season.
The four have started every game this season for Boyle's Buffs, who take a 12-2 overall record (1-0 Pac-12) into Sunday's 4 p.m. game against Oregon State at the CU Events Center.. They represent CU's top four scorers, three of the top four rebounders, and the team leader in assists, steals and blocks. In Thursday's 74-65 win over No. 4 Oregon, they combined for 55 points, 23 rebounds and 10 assists. One of the four has been the team's leading scorer in 12 of CU's 14 games this year.

FIRST LOOK OREGON STATE: The Beavers (10-3, 0-1) are coming off an 81-69 loss to Utah on Thursday. OSU trailed by just three midway through the second half before the Utes used a 16-5 run to put the game away.
OSU is led by 6-7 senior Tres Tinkle, the Pac-12's preseason player of the year. Tinkle, son of Oregon State head coach Wayne Tinkle, is second in the conference in scoring (20.3 points per game) and ninth in rebounding (7.1 rpg). Point guard Ethan Thompson is averaging 15.7 points and 4.5 assists.
The Buffs should have no trouble getting up for the Beavers. Last year, Oregon State came to Boulder and erased a nine-point CU first-half lead to come away with a 76-74 win.
"We're expecting high level game, a dogfight," Boyle said. "It's league play. You take nothing for granted. We can't, and I don't think our team will."
