Another Recruit Rolls In
filed in Recruiting on Oct.18, 2007
After reflecting on the grades I gave our Running Backs last week, I realized that CU really has no backup that we can trust to do more then be a caretaker at the position. Once Hugh is gone, nobody on our roster scares anyone. Our running game definitely suffers without our #4 batter in there. With P.T. Gates having academic issues, and no lock for next year, I was a bit worried about our RB depth chart…. Not so much anymore!
I have some good news for those that felt the same way. Mr. Ray Polk (scout.com Profile) will be joining the Buffs next year. This guy is 6-0, 188 pounds and pretty damn quick with a 4.47 40 and he runs the 110 and 300 hurdles (I like the hurdles instead of the straight 40… shows acceleration a little better) He is a home run hitter. Scout.com thinks he isn’t quite ready to be an inside runner as he “runs to high between the tackles” and he also needs to work on his blocking. Thankfully, both of those issues are coachable. I bet we will see him in the mix from day 1, though he may not get on the field until the coaches feel safe putting the QB in his hands.
This guy picked us over Michigan and ASU, so props to Hawk for snagging him. He wanted to wait until signing day, but was so impressed with the running performance (3 guys had big games that day!) against Miami (OH) on his visit day that he signed on up.
I have no free media for you guys, and rivals.com has nothing on him. So unless you have a profile with scout.com, you are on your own.
Welcome to the Stampede, Ray Polk!
