Recruiting Update: Katoa in classes, PT Gates not!
filed in Recruiting on Jan.23, 2008 by Skye
Katoa started classes on the 11th, but sadly, PT Gates did not.
The Colorady Daily is reporting that PT Gates did not get his paperwork from Saddleback to the CU admissions office in time. He will not be eligible for spring ball, and must take a full course load over the summer in order to meet the same progress guidelines that kept Bernard Jackson off the field this last year.
Since the big Givens/Rippy/Josh Williams signing, really, not much has happened except for the defection of Williams back to NU. Nebraska has a class with almost all 3 star recruits that ranks #27 with 19 recruits. CU is still ranked in the top 25 with only 16 recruits. Only USC has less verbals in the top 25. As an aside, Givens and Rippy are both still solid.
As far as Scott, its way up in the air. Some signs point to Texas, and others point to CU.
My take? At least Polk still seems solid, even though he did take an official visit to ASU recently. I know the door is wide open at CU for Scott, while the backfield at Texas seems to get more crowded by the minute… Mack Brown is scheduled to have an in home visit with Mr. Scott, but guess who gets the last one? The Hawk!
Here is a nice little article about our lone QB (2 star) recruit, Tyler Hansen. Seems like he would even be ok Redshirting. Diamond in the Rough ala Kai Maiava? We hope so!
And we end with a little article that looks at the Buffs off-season program
Hey Mr. Scott, did we mention the weather is better in Colorado? And please note that the article above talks about the impact that bubble is going to have this winter!
Till signing day (barring really crazy news),

Yep, if it stinks, it must be a turd. How does this happen 2 years in a row with PT Gates? Couldnt Nick Nelson give him a holler and find out whats up? And how does Saddleback take their sweet ass time sending? One word…Incompetence.

…and why would D Scott want to go to Texas, when they have already recruited 5 RB’s this year? He would have a great chance to be the first 1000 yd runner at CU in awhile.

If we are trying to get back to our glory days we need to have people making sure our players can get into school! I mean this is rediculous, I’m not saying we cheat, but make sure people are atleast aware of the grades there getting and HELP them out. Seriously
