BSFwins Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 KABrother88, thx for putting in the effort to post all that information. Looks like we have landed some talent and are in the running for a few others. lu cards, that is good news as he is a player! Just read he is a finalist for the WRS Award on both offense and defense... Don't need to say more! Quote
KABrother88 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 kimler from Nederland has committed. Ok thanks I'll update the list. Have you read this somewhere or word of mouth? Quote
WBCP2 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Not sure Kimler from Ned is committed. Spoke to his parents 1 wk ago and he was still up in the air. LU doesn't offer his degree interest. Maybe things have changed in the last week. Night Hawk, as they call him, would be a great addition to the team. Quote

Damm16 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 I know we have picked up a OT/DT JUCO transfer from Austin LBJ via JUCO in N.Dakota Stephon Spence I believe now he is 6'5 295 very good foot work and hands skills. :) Well needed addition I here that he checked in Monday 1/13/2014 into the dorm.

His Rivals profile has him weighing 315 and at the OT position. http://rivals.yahoo.com/jcgridiron/football/recruiting/player-Stephon-Spence-137555 Quote
coachacola Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 Here's the correct list of latest offers as reported by Rivals: height=373 width=500http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5488/11933230194_37ebcb5313_b.jpg[/img] I think Stallworth has commited elsewhere and Blendermann has commited to Lamar.

coachacola Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 You're right coach...missed that. Doesn't anyone know when the athletic department will release any news of mid year transfers?...from my understanding when the players signs the school can name names...signing day is in one month and it's been awful quite on this thread...hopefully we will start getting some more info Also for the way I've understood a greyshirt doesn't count against your 5 year eligibility clock...if he grayshirted in 2012 he could have redshirted in 2013 and still have 4 years left correct?...I couldn't find a participation log for CU but he doesn't show up on the season stat sheets Here's an article about Jeff Thomas transferring to Lamar. He did redshirt last year due to hamstring problems so he might have 4 years of eligibility left. Thomas turned heads when he was healthy and participating in practices, but he was consistently hampered by a bad hamstring in the spring and summer last year, which led to a redshirt year. He will be eligible to play next season without sitting out because Lamar plays at the Football Championship Subdivision level, one step down from the Football Bowl Subdivision. http://www.dailycamera.com/cu-college-sports/ci_24888003/colorado-football-thomas-graham-leave-buffs-program Quote
LU 17 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Wow, Thomas sounds like a great pick up. We need to keep him away from Kueck. I would hate to see another play making WR playing safety next season. Quote
coachacola Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 Article about OL Zach White.

Cplatt Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Hope nobody else reads that quote or he might all of sudden "change his mind" Geeez. Can honestly say they are doing a good job of brining in some talented young men, but utilizing them is critical. Should make for an interesting season. Cplatt Quote
