Nelson Spruce tribute thread

Big time props to one of the best in CU history. Hopefully he and the team can surprise some people and pull a few more Ws out to end his career.
Spruce!! Kid is a stud and a relentless worker. If a guy ever deserved a chance at the NFL, it is Spruce. He had at least 2 catches in this game that no other receiver in NCAA could make. He will have a place to play at the next level. He is the best catching receiver CU has ever had.
He really set down roots in boulder. He's been a true joy to watch and grow as he branched out into a leader for this football team... it will be a sad day when he leaves boulder... wood
Quietly Dominant.

Truly a great technician at the position. I believe he has no more than one--ONE--dropped pass in his career here. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that his being underutilized might be at the root of our problems this year. Leaves room for argument, though.
what happened to his uncle who used to post here... is he still around?
Been such a pleasure watching him the last 4 years.Looking forward to seeing how much he can separate from the old record the next 4 weeks and what he does after he leaves here.
He's been great, four more big games to go. Congrats on the record.

Still here! I can't believe it's been almost 5 years. I've been enjoying watching Nelson as a Buff and had a great trip to Boulder for the AZ game. Thanks for all the kind words about him.
He's earned every kind word. The guy is class in everything he has done since he showed up in Boulder.
You can tell a lot about a guy from how his teammates respond to him. You can see that he has the respect of the guys in that locker room, and it isn't just because he catches a lot of footballs.
Season isn't over yet, we need him the last 4 games. This team shouldn't be hurt, they should be pissed off, they are gonna need it next week.
Yep, Spruce has probably been the bright spot on offense and it will be tough to see him go. I'm certain we will all be seeing him playing on sundays. A great Buff!
One of our all time greats.
Also, we owe him one for coming back for his senior year. His stats have diminished this year with the development of the other receivers - you could see this coming and it may take money straight out of his pocket starting off in the NFL. Can you imagine how this offense would have struggled without him on the field in 2015?
Thanks, Nelson!

Luv me some Spruce. One tough amigo who goes about his job in a quiet fashion. Will miss seeing him line up next year but will enjoy watching him add to his numbers over the next 4.
