Yeah, I was curious why he felt the need to drop SO MUCH weight.

FWIW I actually have a feeling that our OLBs are going to surprise. I feel like Wells has huge upside...best of anyone in our LB corp.

They were going to replace him with Pelini one way or another had we beat them that day on a game winning FG.......or so the shuckhead fans who were sitting around me said.

Agree. Run right at him.
So much good stuff happens when the NT gets a push. So much bad stuff happens when he doesn’t. We need a big year out of Javier.
Miller's doing his best to be one of the corners out on the field on game days, and he agrees with his head coach that he's got to get better at showing up every day, every play.
"(Consistency) is one thing I'm working on," Miller said. "I feel like (the bad moments) are because I'm trying to think a little bit too much sometimes.
See, this is where the new redshirt rule can really help CU. Get Arias out there in a few of the games where we are up big and see what the kid can do, without blowing a year of eligibility.
Some good shots of Evans and Lee. A healthy Evans definitely eases some concerns about the RB position for this year.

Mention of TE Jones catching a pass is the first positive thing I can remember hearing about him that doesn’t have to do with his size. Hopefully he’s learning quickly and can play this season.
He's pretty impressive to watch. Physically imposing with big hands. Moves like a basketball player. Just needs a lot of work on understanding a more sophisticated offense along with all the techniques. I think he'll probably be more focused on the H-Back type stuff like Poplawski was last year and then they'll build on that into the in-line (Y) type stuff more for 2019. I wouldn't expect a complete TE this year.

Easy guy to root for. He could be a weapon out of the backfield if our WR’s are as good as advertised and demand all the attention. I love me some RB wheel routes.
So, I was against the idea of D. Lee redshirting and sitting out last year. It really didn't have to do with his talent, more I felt the risks involved with that route could ultimately end up wasting a roster spot this year because he may not remain engaged with the team and getting better as a player. After looking at these pics, it looks like he has gained 15 lbs and is leaner than ever.....which points to me being 100% wrong with my concerns.
D. Lee is a talented kid, and with his current build....I see there being a better than good chance of him being a big time surprise this year. Would love to see that.
Anyone notice Tchangman eclipsing the sun?!?!

What did it say? I follow her but can’t see it.
That Izzy made the right decision and that he appreciates Katie.

Alex Fontenot - RB - Buffaloes
HERO Sports' Andrew Doughty expects Colorado redshirt freshman RB Alex Fontenot to receive a close look in camp following his strong offseason.
Fontenot (6'0/195) was one of Colorado's standout performers in spring ball. Virginia Tech transfer Travon McMillian is expected to work as starter this year, but the former Hokie has seen his rushing numbers tail off significantly over the past two seasons after he bolted for 1,043 yards as a true freshman back in 2015. Buffs HC Mike MacIntyre would be wise to keep his options open.

I haven't heard much on the Fontenot front so far in camp. I guess I haven't heard much on McMillian, either, outside of the people here who went to the open practice.
Was Fontenot given a lot of run in the spring because it was him and Bisharat?
Pretty sure Evans and Lee were out.
Could be. I just haven't heard a whole lot about the RB group, in general, during Fall Camp but maybe I am misremembering.

Full agreement.
He would probably be the highest rated WR (or any position) recruit on the roster, coming out of high school had he actually played his Junior and Senior years. Kid has the talent to do whatever he wants on the field.
