Well Buffs and Buffets (hehe, sorry, had to do it once!), rumors abounded that the Buffs could expect some new recruits after the Mizzou game. The rumors pointed to Sunday, but it looks like they were wrong. It was a Tuesday instead!
The total number of Buff football recruits is now up to 12. Coach Hawk wants to get “about 18″ recruits for this year, so he only has 6 spots left to fill… (Darrel Scott, hurry up:). Hopefully he will use those spots to concentrate on the Defensive side of the ball, especially the line. I, like the ever quotable Coach, think that you can never have to many linemen.
Without further adieu, I give you the next two Buffs!
Stephen Hicks
This guy is a great safety prospect, and depending on how he develops, could play corner. At the age of 18 he already has 4.5 speed at 6′1″ and 185 pounds. The #25 ranked Safety prospect in the nation, the thing I like about this guy is that he plays the run very well. Give him a year or two in the strength and conditioning program and he could be a veritable beast! Considering we lost the #48 Safety prospect last week to Stanford (Harold Bernard), this is a nice response, especially since Mizzou was also recruiting Hicks.
Jameson Davis
A kicker, this guy is apparently a devout soul, as instead of going to school at Boise St. in 2004 he decided he wanted to be go on a church mission to Guatemala instead. He was ranked #13 in the nation that year. He will join transfer Aric Goodman, a kicker from Colorado who made the mistake of going to Wyoming *shudder* and walk-on Tyler Cope in the kicking game competition next year. This is good news, because if you all will remember 2002, not having a decent kicker can just ruin a team.
Join us tomorrow for Thursday Buff-Bits!
Oh, and here is a nice little story on Mr. Scott (It has a video, sweet)
