Ryan Wallace Commits

Per Scout, now rivals, and soon, the WORLD.
Well, it may not be flooding yet, but we still have 5 scholarships left and signing day is Wednesday, so it better start flooding soon!
Mr. Wallace is a 6′4 TE (not that fast at a 4.8 40…. Mr. Scary Big man Keni Kafusi down below runs that and he is 275) who liked how we use the TE in the offense as a sort of constantly moving target. I think he really liked that a TE caught most of our TD’s last year. Mr. Wallace his the third Ryan of this class and the 2nd TE commit named Wallace at that!
With the proliferation of the spread offense leading many teams to have lots of small and fast guys on the field, I think the example of Missouri and the offensive show they put on us last year has sunk in. The spread offense does not necessarily have to rely on small guys to “spread” the field. Mizzou runs the spread with two TE’s and some very very fast guys on the outside. This lets them run with authority (Temple, Tony – 300 yards in their bowl game!) and cause lots of miss-matches with those tall TEs. It sure seems to help their short QB Chase Daniels find receivers down the field with those big boys running around.
I am getting a vision of the future… WRs= Jfly & Simas/McKnight. Offensive line = Hulking, Deep, and NASTY. RB = Scott/Polk, and Hawk/Ballenger at QB with Deehan/Wallace/Pericak as our base package. I think it sounds pretty scary. Our TE’s need to put on a bit of speed, but damn, that as a base package can do almost anything. Max Protect, spread, smashmouth, you name it, its coming!
As an aside, Kafusi called him and CU a “perfect fit”. He just needs to qualify academically. He takes the SAT 2/9. Lets hope he really is ready for success!

I am with you on the visualzation,Skye.
This could turn out to be a very interesting class. Best in years. Think about it? Why does every school travel well to Boulder? BECAUSE LIFE SUCKS IN STILLWATER, NORMAN, AMES, LINCOLN, MANHATTEN and COLLEGE STATION. PERIOD. So who in their right mind wants to play in those toilet bowl cities? Dumb Arses.
